    TMZ have reported Mike Tyson is to be inducted this year. More deserving than Drew Carey at least.

    Former WCW World champion Ron Simmons.

    The updated class would be Mike Tyson, Edge, The Four Horsemen, Mil Mascaras, Simmons and the late Yokozuna.

    I've heard talk of possibly a tag team being inducted as well, but have not been able to confirm that.

    I love how the HOF classes resemble a boards draft roster year after year.

    Wrestling Observer:
    The update on Hall of Fame plans are for Austin to induct Tyson, Del Rio to induct Mil Mascaras, Christian to induct Edge, John Layfield to induct Ron Simmons, Dwayne Johnson to induct Yokozuna and HHH & Michaels to induct the Four Horsemen ahead of the obvious choice of Dusty Rhodes. Simmons and Yokozuna are likely to be announced on TV after the Chamber show.

    Me likie the inductees. No William Shatners thank god just logical picks.

    Bill "who the hell are all you people?!" Shatner would be an entertaining inductee though especially if they let him go off on one, which probably wouldn't happen at this point in time however.....

    He inducted Jerry Lawler instead of Lance Russell so he and Kevin Dunn can **** right off.

    All logical choices except I would have preferred Mr Fuji to induct Yokozuna. I get the whole Samoan thing but The Rock and Yoko's paths never crossed on screen, hope Fuji is at least at the ceremony.

    Fuji cant talk coherent English even on a one to one basis let alone to a theatre. Fuji is also very, very old and wheelchair bound.

    Best lineup since '09 (which was unfortunately murdered by the time constraints). Should be a really enjoyable night.

    even bret hart would be a better choice than rock i think

    So have The Rock wheel him out for a few short words. Fuji talking in broken English incoherently adds to his charm though as he's best remembered as being Japanese on screen anyway.

    Jim Cornette would be perfect as inductee if he didn't have other commitments.

    Having the Rock do it reeks of "we're paying him, may as well make the most of him"?

    Also, why exactly are Triple H and Shawn Michaels inducting the Horsemen? Bar being friends with Flair, they have little to no connection to them, do they?

    The rock has said before that he loved yoko and would love to induct him

    Hhh and hbk are huge fans of the horsemen think that's the reason

    HHH personally asked could he induct the horsemen I think I read somewhere. He said he had huge respect for what they have done.

    There is a bit in Naked Gun 33 & 1/3 (I think) where they have a flashback scene where Frank (leslie nielsen) looks exactly like Ric Flair. If by chance anyone hasn't seen Naked Gun then shame on you!

    The 40 minute show was a bit gick. It felt like they really cut down those speeches, down to not showing Edge's 5-second pose. Much more interested in the full HoF ceremony with the WM28 DVD :)
