Future Hall of Famers...

[Corndad]

Simple Question really. What guys currently on the roster do you see making the HOF besides the obvious Rock, Cena, HHH, and Undertaker? Do you guys see anyone else who has a shot? Punk? Brock? Kane? Maybe Rey?

Blatantly, but should be in this thread.

From his WCW days to now, he still is the man on the mic and in the ring.

[Corndad]

How the hell did I forget Jericho lol He's gotta be a definite too.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Every single person you mentioned in your opening post. They'll all go in. As well as a bunch of others like Mark Henry, Big Show, Orton, probably Sheamus as well at some point. Maybe even a few lower card guys like Regal.

Hard to judge on the rest really because someone could go from Bradshaw to JBL in a really short time and cement themselves a place.

[Rammsteinmad]

Quite a lot of them have the potential to be honest. CM Punk, Chris Jericho, Kane, Undertaker, Rey Mysterio, Triple H, John Cena, Randy Orton, Daniel Bryan, Sheamus, Mark Henry, Christian... some sooner than others of course.

[Rammsteinmad]

I kinda wanna see Charles Robinson go in some day as well. :yes:

[Cool King]

I've been thinking of making a thread about this for some time but with including alumni too.

But not thinking about The Rock, John Cena, Triple H and Undertaker, for me on the current roster, and thinking about what they've achieved up until now, I can see these guys going into the Hall of Fame in the future.

Big Show
Brock Lesnar
Chris Jericho
Christian
CM Punk
JBL
Kane
Mark Henry
Paul Heyman
Randy Orton
Rey Mysterio
The Great Khali (Only because of his size)
Sheamus
William Regal

There are some guys on the current roster that, if they continue being used the way they have been recently, I think will be future Hall of Famers.

Alberto Del Rio (If he becomes World Champion a few more times)
Cody Rhodes (If he has many memorable IC/US Title reigns)
Daniel Bryan (See Alberto Del Rio)
Dolph Ziggler (See Alberto Del Rio)
Jack Swagger (I don't know what he's go to do but I just get "that feeling" about him)
Kofi Kingston (If he remains a face while winning titles, à la Ricky Steamboat)
The Miz (See Alberto Del Rio)
Ryback (See Jack Swagger)
Wade Barrett (If he becomes World Champion or has many memorable IC/US Title reigns)

[Cool King]

I kinda wanna see Charles Robinson go in some day as well. :yes:

If we're talking about referees then Mike Chioda is a shoo-in.

[The Jayman]

I see Michael Cole going in as well

[Rammsteinmad]

If we're talking about referees then Mike Chioda is a shoo-in.

Mike Chioda has never (to my knowledge) wrestled on PPV. :roll:

[Cool King]

I see Michael Cole going in as well

Definitely. :y:

Mike Chioda has never (to my knowledge) wrestled on PPV. :roll:

Not on PPV, no.

But he has wrestled on SmackDown, teaming with future Hall of Famers The Rock and Chris Jericho. ;)

[Emperor Smeat]

Potential Headliners:
Brock Lesnar
Jericho
Orton
Rey Mysterio
CM Punk

Potential Regular Inductees:
Alberto Del Rio
Big Show
Daniel Bryan
JBL
Kane
Sheamus


Everyone else worthy is either borderline or still have a lot of time left to build up their HoF stardom potential.

[Hanso Amore]

Depends on who doesnt burn a bridge.

The thing with the WWE HOF is that plenty of guys who deserve to be in arent, and plenty will go i nthat dont.

I love Regal. Hes Great. But for him to ever make it would be a joke when treating the HOF as "legitimate".

The real answer is whomever the can get to show up and sell tickets.

[Wishbone]

Hanso's got the idea. Essentially anyone could and probably will go into the HoF at some point. It's just a selling point and a nod to people who WWE deems worthy or whatever. I mean Edge was a prime candidate to one day be a hall of famer, but him getting in when he did was bullshit when guys like Savage aren't yet.

[Vastardikai]

He may be a lowly Producer at this point, but one could make a very serious case for Finlay.

[Wishbone]

Didn't Finlay get fired because of some bullshit with Miz pissing off the marines?

[The Whole F'n Show]

Maybe it it just too blatantly obvious, what about vince mcmahon? Definitely agree with jericho, more from his AJPW and ECW days than his wcw days though. Probably paul heyman too, also savage, rick rude, lilian garcia, kane, regal, mysterio, big show, ddp, jbl, joey styles, ziggles...

[Cool King]

Didn't Finlay get fired because of some bullshit with Miz pissing off the marines?

Yeah, he made it so The Miz would interrupt the national anthem at a house show to get more heat.

[Cool King]

But Finlay is back though.

[#1-norm-fan]

I love Regal. Hes Great. But for him to ever make it would be a joke when treating the HOF as "legitimate".

No it wouldn't. The guy has been around for decades and has always been stellar at what he does and he's got some nice kayfabe accomplishments to go with it. He's not a headliner or anything but how would him going in as a second tier inductee be a joke?

[Bobo]

Those on the current roster (including part-timers):

John Cena, Triple H, The Rock, Undertaker, CM Punk, Chris Jericho,..............possibly Kane, possibly Rey Mysterio, not sure about Brock Lesnar.

Christian maybe as part of The Brood or as an Edge and Christian Tag Team.

Michael Cole, Paul Heyman for his ECW work, Teddy Long.

Vince McMahon himself one day perhaps when he either completely steps down or eventually passes on.

William Regal perhaps. Maybe Vickie Guerrero one day. None of the Divas are worth inclusion except maybe AJ because of her memorable storylines otherwise the rest including my beloved Kaitlyn haven't really done anything memorable but that's not their fault.

Lillian Garcia because of the fact she was the first or one of the first female announcers?

[Bobo]

Charles Robinson as far as referees are concerned............

[Cool King]

Lillian Garcia because of the fact she was the first or one of the first female announcers?

Not the first, no, as Mike McGuirk was the first.

Though I do agree about Lillian going into the Hall of Fame someday.

[Razzamajazz]

[Next Big Thing]

Is Mark Henry the third longest tenured guy on the roster after HHH and Taker? I never would have thought he'd be around for as long as he has.

[Cool King]

Well Henry joined the WWF in 1996. Kane has been with the company since 1995 but from then until 1997, he went under the names of Isaac Yankem and "Diesel".

[KyleEmmott]

Mike Chioda has never (to my knowledge) wrestled on PPV. :roll:

My mom actually dated Mike Chioda for awhile... Thought you'd like to know that. Got me free tickets to Hell in the Cell, and a lot of merchandise

[The Condor]

Current guys like Rey yeah. Big Show, Kane, Jericho and Orton are no brainers. I definitely see Del Rio and Christian as future inductees as well as legends such as DDP and hopefully the Steiners.

[Cool King]

My mom actually dated Mike Chioda for awhile... Thought you'd like to know that. Got me free tickets to Hell in the Cell, and a lot of merchandise

Which Hell in a Cell?

[Bad News Gertner]

Heath Slater

[Wishbone]

Heath Slater

I hate you.

[CWK]

Good thread...

I actually would like to see Jim Johnston in the Hall of Fame. He's been with the company since the 1980's and he's written and composed so many memorable theme songs for the wrestlers over the years. He definitely deserves it.

Also think that Andre the Giant deserves to be re-inducted. He never got a formal ceremony with someone inducting him and the video package, etc. as far as I know all he got was an announcement on RAW in 1993 and he deserves way more than that IMO.

[KyleEmmott]

Which Hell in a Cell?

2 years ago? In New Orleans

[seapig4]

Do you think Sting will ever be in it?

[Cool King]

Good question.

Even though I'm not really that big on Sting, I still think he should eventually go in. It's just up to him if he says yes or not.

I get the feeling he won't accept while he's still alive as it's the "WWE Hall of Fame" and not just "Professional Wrestling's Hall of Fame". I've always gotten a feeling from him that he doesn't like the WWE at all, so I don't think he'll accept.

When the time comes that he's no longer around though, then I think maybe he will be inducted posthumously, with his children giving the yes to it happening.

[Scottness89]

BATISTA!!!
Kurt Angle
RVD

....just to name a few

[Mongo Lloyd]

who would induct sting? fellow Jesus freak hbk?

[The Jayman]

Ric Flair?

[Bad News Gertner]

Bo Dallas without a doubt.

[Perry Saturn]

BATISTA!!!

[Optimus Bone 69]

everyone its a farce

[whiteyford]

Bo Dallas without a doubt.

He will get his own wing and be the only inductee in that years class.

[johnsmagic]

I agree with Optimus Bone, how the hell can you have a hall of fame with Drew Carey inducted in to it. Yes I know its in the celebrity wing but come on the man was at one event for fuck sake.

[Bad News Gertner]

You've got to be kidding me

[Keith]

Mark Henry will get in, eventually. Dude's been with the company like 17 years, yo. That's crazy. And of course, he's accomplished a lot.

[The Snake]

Earl Hebner has been involved in some iconic storylines. Probably moreso in the 80's and 90's than recently. If refs start making it Earl's gotta be one.
edit: actually reading Earl's wiki and what he was let go for, looks unlikely we'll see him.

Even tho he's commentary, he's roster also, : JBL will probably also get in down the lines. Especially with Ron Simmons already in.
