Mainly posted this because I found the following news, but I figure they should start to announce them in a few weeks anyway.
From PWInsider: WWE will put tickets on sale for the 3/31 Hall of Fame ceremony at the American Airlines Arena will go on sale this coming Saturday 1/14. Tickets will range $93.65 down to $41.40, including Ticketmaster charges. There will be an online pre-sale on Thursday 1/12. We have not yet heard the password for the pre-sale. WWE using a scaled down Arena would indicate they are planning to induct a major name. The only time they have used larger Arenas for their Hall of Fame inductions were for the HOF Classes headed by Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair. |

I wonder if this will be carried on USA or if it'll debut on the WWE Network.

Wasn't there talk of Carlos Colon? That might have been from him though.

Yeah, Colon is rumored to be going in. Wonder if they'll bring Carlito back to help induct him along with Primo and Epico.

Savage is definitely going in, it's just a shame that he won't be there to make a speech. Even though he should have been in ages ago, if he hadn't passed away he probably wouldn't be going in this year.
Owen Hart is never going in because Martha pretty much threatens to sue WWE into the stone age any time he's even mentioned on WWE programming. |

Edge maybe too i think,might be a little soon though. Savage is probably a safe bet as well. Can't think of any big names from Miami though.

The Rock isn't in yet, right? He's the only big name I can think of that could help fill an arena.

I know that Lanny Poffo is really adamant that his father and brother should both be inducted. Personally it would be nice to have all 3 of them go in. If Koko B Ware belongs in the HOF, so does the Genius.

Not sure what is more irrelevant, the WWE HOF, or the negative reps I get from Juan everyday. If I had to pick one, I would say the WWE HOF.

Yeah, if there's a big name expected based on the arena and it's in Rock's hometown. it almost seems inevitable.
Cena should fuck up his induction somehow as well. |

What about Jerry Jarrett? Think Vince's heat with Jeff will carry over to Jerry? Jerry did make a visit to WWE a few years ago touting Vladmir Kozlov.

Jerry Jarrett and Vince are supposed to be really good friends. It would be odd though for the co-founder of TNA to be inducted into the WWE HOF.

It'll be Savage, or Edge as the headliner.

In all seriousness, a class headlined by Mick Foley and Randy Savage would be awesome.
I'd like to see this as the class (Hell, I'd pay to see the unedited induction ceremony): Mick Foley (Inducted by Terry Funk) Randy Savage (Inducted by Lanny Poffo) Miss Elizabeth (Inducted by Gene Okurland)* Arn Anderson (Inducted by Ole Anderson) Tully Blanchard (Inducted by JJ Dillon) Paul Heyman (Inducted by Stone Cold Steve Austin) *No clue who would accept award on their behalf Last edited by James Steele; 01-09-2012 at 01:39 AM. |

I almost feel that Foley can't support a HOF on his own. Granted, he shouldn't be put in with someone like Savage, but he needs a strong B-level name to go in with. Heyman would absolutely work in that situation.
As for who inducts/accepts for Savage and Liz, like it was said earlier, the whole Poffo family will probably be put in, and I could see Lanny inducting as well as accepting, or maybe do it like they did with Eddie and have multiple people talk about/induct them, specifically Randy. |

I'd say any of the legends that were in WWE 12 (dlc included) that haven't been inducted already pretty much are all safe bets.

If the rumours are true, and Toronto will be hosting Wrestlemania next year, then it would make absolutely no sense to induct Edge this year.....

Vader needs to be inducted. As does Jim Johnston.

Dick Ebersol is likely going in this year as well.
