Just set up a separate thread for this

Ha.

All of the NWO being 2 time inductees. X Pac being the first to be inducted the very next year after his last induction?

Insect Overlord

Nice timing, announcing headline Hall of Famers a few hours after releasing a few wrestlers.

Agent Coulson

If X-Pac goes in surely Ted goes in as well since he was in before Syxx or is he going to be ignored like Rick Rude was in DX's induction.


Also when I think of the NWO it's only Hall, Nash and Hogan I think of.

Had a similar thought a few moments ago.

The White Wolf

No disrespect to Waltman but fcuk me, two time hall of famer? Fack.

Waltman going in as part of the nWo over every other member is a bit ridiculous. All down to being HHH's mate though I suppose.

Should be just Hogan, Hall and Nash but I'd rather see Bischoff go in if they were going with a 4th person.

PTH2009

Was sean waltman even that big apart of NWO ???

Should its not just been the original 3 of Hall/Hogan and Nash

Eric Bischoff deff deserves to be in the HOF but ya knw the story with that

Triple H to induct big Dave ???

Agent Coulson

Batista confirmed he is going in and well deserved it is.


However that's two seriously big headliners for one year.

CastorTroy

Wasn't Hall inducted as Razor Ramon for some strange reason?
So now he'll be in as both character and real name.

He was. Razor Ramon was reportedly one of Vince's favorite gimmicks. Makes sense given how over Ramon was in the '90s. Also, Nash initially was going to be inducted as Diesel but he preferred to be inducted under his real name.

RobbingBandit

I'd be surprised if JBL doesn't get in maybe they'll keep him off for a couple of years so he can be the headliner

CastorTroy

I guess this means Undertaker won't be in next year.
The Rock must be due an entry now he says he's retired

PTH2009

Who else could get inducted???

Must be time for guys who started in the 90s

CastorTroy

Isn't it early to be announcing inductees?

They are running out of people to induct because the brand became more important than the individual wrestlers once they killed WCW.

Rock Lesnar

When does the Klique get inducted, only group left that these lads haven't got in with

Undertaker
Rock
HHH
Lesnar
Jericho
Cena
Orton
Punk
Mysterio
Shield members
The Hardyz
Vince himself

Thats over 10 years of potential headline inductees all off the top of my head. There's way more. They're far from running out.

Itssoeasy

Only seen the announced inductees as I was in a communication blackout yesterday and this morning. I'm fine with everyone bar hogan. None of the other NWO members are saints but they aren't horrible human beings like hogan is. I'd pay extra on the network if wwe put an option of a new day cam when hogan is talking/bull****ting.

Eric Bischoff should be in it

Agent Coulson

Jim Cornette should be in it.


But he will have to wait a bit.....how long did Hogan wait to get back into the Universe after he learned from his error in judgement.

B_ecke_r

has Kane been inducted?

lot of politics etc around it but I would really like to see Owen Hart inducted.

Well he will hopefully get in as part of the midnight express. Although Dennis condrey had his voice box removed so uses an electronic larynx to speak and may be self consequence about how it sounds.

No kane hasn't but it's a case of when not if with Kane.

There's no politics around Owen Hart, it's simply that his widow wants nothing to do with WWE and doesn't want his name used by WWE. Fair enough stance in fairness.

RollieFingers

Bulldog should be in too.

Very fair! Glad that he's been inducted into the PWHF and Tragos/Thesz HOF though.

His Daughter is campaigning to get him in. Bob holly maybe ? I was rereading his book yesterday and I can see why he probably won't get in or it needs to happen before Vince dies.

How Victoria isn't in when Trish and Lita are is a joke. They don't bring her back for any reunion shows and considering the people they welcomed back into the fold when in all honesty they shouldn't have make her snubbing all the more glaring.

Agent Coulson

Mickie James could go in.


Gail Kim deserves to go in but that won't happen for a long while yet.

B_ecke_r

I understand the reasoning behind Owen not been in it, but just a shame he can't be inducted as he was so good.

CastorTroy

So for some reason they announce the inductees this early and they don't even have the whole video to go with them

I literally just saw the names and assumed there were the usual videos with the blue background. That interesting. For a company that is so good at video and all that you'd wonder why there weren't any. Also, aren't they normally rolled out after the rumble ? It's December so why are we getting two big names in December ?

Was reading the tickets for the HoF go on sale next week, which explains the early headliners announcement

What did Cornette do/say?

LibSuperstar

How about Leilani Kai for the women? She was the B to Wendi Richter's A in the mid '80s WWE?

Made an outdated offcolor joke on commentary for NWA Powerr.

Agent Coulson

The Bella's will get a headline when their time comes more so to do with the reality shows they helped create for the WWE.

And you're not joking either. I mean surely it shouldn't be a bloody free for all.

Agent Coulson

Layla should also go in.

Probably with Michelle McCool as LayCool.

Yeah I agree with those shouts. When you go back and rewatch Michelle McCool in the ring she actually good. I seem to remember her return at the women's royal rumble as being more than positive.

Is Victoria in, surely she has to be a contender too

No Victoria isn't and it doesn't seem like she's on WWEs good list either which I find nuts.

Bulldog rumoured to be the next announced inductee

Yes they're going in

The White Wolf

I don't want to be mean, the Hall of Fame in itself is a joke so the Bellas going in isn't going to make it any more of a joke, but for me they are the pinnacle of entering this industry with no particular talent yet nonetheless make an absolute killing out of it.

Let's face it; if there was "just" Brie or "just" Nikki they would have been forgotten about a long time ago. Nikki did alright but no better than the likes of Eve Torres, Candace and Kelly Kelly, and the company forgot about them a long time ago bar the odd nostalgia appearance.

B.A._Baracus

Paul Orndorff once said:

"Decent payday. Nice meal. Cheap plaque that I left at the hotel" - (according to honky tonk man on a shoot) Orndorff clearly wasn't a fan lol :pac: but then again all sh*t talk as he still accepted and went in.

The hall of fame is BS. But... It is a chance for a wrestler to relive former glory for a night. If they are an active wrestler on the way out on the Indies it will bump up their pay. If they don't wrestle but sell their gimmicks on the circuit it'll bump up that too.

Bit harsh on Nikki. I think she's much better than any of the aforementioned ever were...combined.

JBL also this year
