Hall Of Fame 2019

[johnsmagic]

Any news on who’s going in to the Hall Of Fame in 2019 haven’t heard anything yet and normally names are starting to get tossed around ?

[Evil Vito]

Usually the headliner is announced in January via press release.

Probably The Rock

[xrodmuc316]

I am betting Jim Neidhart considering they are using his death in storylines. It is a natural payoff.

It's in the New York area, and since they treat every 5 year anniversary as just a little more special, I can see this being the year Vince himself goes in. I don't know if he would book himself as the headliner though.

I have a feeling Taker walks away after Mania 35, so I can see him getting the Flair treatment of going in as the headliner, then having his last match the next night.

I think WWE will also break their rule of only one deceased entry, and elect Bam Bam, again cause of the location, with Mania at Met Life Stadium.

I think this would be a good year for Sable, probably the only way WWE gets Lesnar to show up to a HOF event without inducting him.

Christian might finally get in as well.

Not sure who else.

[A.J.K]

If Vince goes in this year, Stone Cold should be the obvious choice to induct him.

[Rammsteinmad]

Weren't there rumors going around that the nWo (yep, I still type it like that) would go in as a stable?

[RP]

I hear Chris Benoit is a possibility

[Stickman]

Who’s going to be the unwarranted inductee? Every year they have head scratchers so I’ll say The Smoking Guns

[RP]

Skinner

[Lock Jaw]

What about me

What about Lock Jaw

[ClockShot]

Supposedly The Rock is going in since they switched around Hall of Fame and NXT shows to complement his schedule.

[xrodmuc316]

I like how people keep complaining that it is hypocritical and isn't fair for WWE to keep Chyna out cause she did porn.

But it's not that she did porn, it's that she did a porn spoof of WWE, which included her fucking "Vince" and "Stephanie" characters.

I get WWE wanting to stay completely away from that.

[Loose Cannon]

I hear Chris Benoit is a possibility

Nancy's family are being tossed around as the ones inducting him

[A.J.K]

You know, if WWE welcomed Hogan, Snuka, Warrior etc back, hall of fame etc

With Benoit at this point it's Never Say Never, even more so with the decrease in big name headliners. They're running out of big names.

Sooner or Later, Benoit, Owen Hart and Chyna will be inducted. Owen on the otherside of the other 2.

[Sixx]

And what was Owen's offense?

Why wouldn't he get inducted?

[A.J.K]

And what was Owen's offense?

Why wouldn't he get inducted?

Martha not allowing that to happen.

[RP]

Chyna is being blackballed because she has a huge clit.

[Rammsteinmad]

Do people still actually want Benoit in? I mean, he's still one of my all-time favourites based on his work, but I'm way over the fact that WWE don't want anything to do with him. Can't believe there are still people out there that think WWE are being unreasonable.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lol, I don't think anyone thinks he's going to go in.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The only realistic headliners are really Rock, Batista and Undertaker. Well, maybe Triple H too, but he's not going to let himself be portrayed as old. Maybe DX? I don't know.

[Rammsteinmad]

Could Kane be a headliner?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Maybe if Martha won't let Owen in, they'll induct The Blue Blazer...as portrayed by Mo of Men on a Mission.

[Blue Demon]

Maybe if Martha won't let Owen in, they'll induct The Blue Blazer...as portrayed by Mo of Men on a Mission.

Well, if they inducted Koko

[Sixx]

Well, if they inducted Koko

What's the story here?

[Fignuts]

Koko deserves to be in based on his work in the territories and being one of the earliest successful black wrestlers.

Most people only know him for his WWF work where he was just above jobber status despite being fairly over with crowds, so they scoff at his induction.

[Fignuts]

Also Bull Nakano deserves a spot. AJW was selling out arenas and filling stadiums long before the women’s revolution, and Nakano was one of their greatest talents I believe she holds the record for longest title reign.

[The MAC]

Gene will be a shoe in

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Mean Gene is already in the Hall of Fame.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Bertha Faye before Bull Nakano. America first America number 1

[#1-norm-fan]

Koko absolutely deserves to be in. People should stop using him as he the “Well if HE can get in...” example. The guy was crazy over. Which should be the first requirement with anything else being a distant second.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Is Bertha Faye not already in?

[Bad News Gertner]

Noppers.

There are far worse wrestlers in the Hall of Fame than Koko. With Wrestlemania being in the New York area this year, I hope to hell they finally induct Cyndi Lauper. She's one of the main reasons why they have a show today.

I don't get why they haven't inducted her. She was fucking awesome in her role.

[Shisen Kopf]

Tatanka should go in. He had the REAL greatest streak in rasslin history

[johnsmagic]

Should there be a criteria for someone to be inducted

I.E Title reigns, popularity ( merch sales) , longevity... Most sporting organization will have a certain criteria around their respective HOF

[Big Vic]

I hear Chris Benoit is a possibility

Not true, you are only eligible for the HOF if you murder 0-1 people, not 2.

[xrodmuc316]

Should there be a criteria for someone to be inducted

I.E Title reigns, popularity ( merch sales) , longevity... Most sporting organization will have a certain criteria around their respective HOF

There are 2 things considered:
1. Can Vince make money off their induction
2. Have they missed Vince off

1 is most important, the more money Vince can make, the less 2 matters, see Ultimate Warrior.

Although, if Vince REALLY likes somebody, they can still get in even if it won't make him that much money.

[Fignuts]

Bertha Faye before Bull Nakano. America first America number 1

Not when it comes to women’s wrestling. Also, Bertha Faye was Canadian, you fucking goof.

Like Nakano, Faye deserves a spot mainly for her work outside of WWE. But Nakano’s impact was much greater in that regard.

[Fignuts]

Cindi Lauper should absolutely have been inducted to the celebrity wing by now. Should have been one of the first really.

[Bad News Gertner]

She's arguably the biggest omission from the Hall in general

[Evil Vito]

Lauper was on Raw back when Heath Slater was doing his schtick of getting beaten up by a different legend each week. It's crazy that she isn't in.

[Evil Vito]

Also, I'm sick of people bitching about Koko B Ware being undeserving every year. You shitfucks don't deserve Koko B Ware.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I thought Cyndi Lauper turned it down? To hear she showed up since if she’s turning it down is weird. She will probably go in, Triple H will work his magic, and Hogan will induct her to get him out there.

The Rock seems more and more likely given they are running out of black wrestlers to induct. I always thought they could induct Slick, but he did sue them. I do see Sable, Torrie Wilson or Stacy Keibler going in as a “pioneer” of women in the Attitude era, but I’m really surprised Bull Nakano is not in yet. Thinking about it though, I can see the Jumping Bomb Angels going in to promote the new Women’s Tag Team Titles.

They do one posthumous induction. Would not be surprised if this is Vader. He talked a lot of shit while alive. There’s no major scandal about his life and no one blocking it. I could see Christian going in as a lower-card entry as a guy people know but is retired. Gets Edge on the billing too. Eric Bischoff gets thrown in too, but for some reason I expect him to be in a Minneapolis group with Brock and X-Pac, even though I don’t think they will run Minneapolis. Oh, I do see them putting in Johnny Saint.

I just randomly thought of One Man Gang. He’s not in, is he? Could see him as someone “retro.” I can see them putting in someone from lucha libre’s history. Bertha Faye is another candidate for posthumous. Leilani Kai could find her way in. Or do they put her in with Richter as The Glamor Girls? Maybe Lauper inducts them to get her into talks?

The Rock, Christian, Johnny Saint, Jumping Bomb Angels and Cyndi Lauper.

[Bad News Gertner]

Lance Storm said that about Cyndi regarding her turning it down and she replied "that's news to me"

[Mr. Nerfect]

Well, Lauper going in makes more sense now then.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Especially since they will want Hogan to induct someone.

[Bad News Gertner]

It really should be Wendi Richter who inducts her

[LibSuperstar]

The Rock, Christian, Johnny Saint, Jumping Bomb Angels and Cyndi Lauper.

You mean Judy Martin but I doubt they induct the team.

[A.J.K]

Victoria is planning on retiring soon ,perhaps she gets in.

[Evil Vito]

I always thought WWE were salty that she had retired only to go to TNA months later.

[A.J.K]

I always thought WWE were salty that she had retired only to go to TNA months later.


Well i hope she gets one last run. She tweeted she's retiring at the end of this year.

[johnsmagic]

Victoria is planning on retiring soon ,perhaps she gets in.

thought the same when I saw that news also, hope they don't try and use her her leaked video as a reason why she doesn't get in.

[Bad News Gertner]

I've never understood the love for Victoria

[Fignuts]

Pretty good in the ring for the time, cool finisher, fun gimmick.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Yeah, I love me some Victoria. She seems “cool.” I don’t think she’ll go in. I think it will be Michelle McCool inducted by Layla (and maybe Vickie Guerrero).

Vince can be petty. I wonder if Lance Storm will be inducted this year just so that Chris Jericho doesn’t get to induct him? Edge & Christian could do it.

[johnsmagic]

See under " my criteria " that I would go with don't see how Lance Storm could possible be considered.

[Nicky Fives]

I love Lance Storm more than many do, and there's no way he's a Hall Of Famer..... So many more names ahead of him in line....

[Blonde Moment]

I love Lance Storm more than many do, and there's no way he's a Hall Of Famer..... So many more names ahead of him in line....

How many decent wrestlers has his school pumped out?

Where's Insane Clown Posse in the fame? Shitty or not, they left their dookie stain on the industry and besides..Kid Rock..

[Mr. Nerfect]

I love Lance Storm more than many do, and there's no way he's a Hall Of Famer..... So many more names ahead of him in line....

I'm not saying that he is or that he should. I don't consider the WWE Hall of Fame to be anything other than tokenistic PR anyway. I'm just saying that Vince can be petty and Jericho signing with AEW could potentially spark the big man to put Lance Storm in and forever marginalize his history and friendship with Chris Jericho -- at least in Vince's own mind. Probably not, but it wouldn't shock me in the slightest.

They'd call him one of the greatest technical wrestlers of all-time; a decorated champion; a bright spot of ECW and WCW during their dwindling eras; highly regarded by his peers; one of the most underrated of all-time. He wouldn't headline, but as an opportunity for Edge & Christian to get up and tell some jokes and Lance to open with "If I can be serious for a moment..." there's a chance something like that could go down.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Sid Vicious not being in yet kind of surprises me. He's one of those guys that could borderline headline.

[LibSuperstar]

Sid Vicious not being in yet kind of surprises me. He's one of those guys that could borderline headline.

They're probably saving him. He's been on RAWs in recent yrs so I doubt he’s on bad terms w/ WWE. At this point I just come for the video packages.

[Mr. Nerfect]

They're probably saving him. He's been on RAWs in recent yrs so I doubt he’s on bad terms w/ WWE. At this point I just come for the video packages.

I’d say you’re right. They don’t really have any giant names left that they aren’t interested in actively using. The Rock, Batista, Undertaker, maybe Kane and Big Show. They don’t really have too many headliners left. I guess spaced out that takes you 7 years forward, so then you can think about Cena, Triple H, DX (to put Michaels in twice), Jericho, Daniel Bryan, etc.

[Lazy Scout]

Where's Insane Clown Posse in the fame? Shitty or not, they left their dookie stain on the industry and besides..Kid Rock..

ICP deserves to be in there 100%. Totally annoys me that they aren't in already...

[Blue Demon]

BUT....BUT...KOKO

[rez]

I finally went to one of their concerts at the Emerson like last year or the year before. Fucking terrifying how scary 2 liters of diet root beer being launched at you are.

[Lazy Scout]

Haha, that's awesome. They were here in Cleveland not long ago, but I had no money, so couldn't go. But I'd probably crap myself if a 2 liter was being launched at me :lol:

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol who neg repped you

[Lazy Scout]

Lol who neg repped you

No clue! It's all good, I'm used to people reacting negatively to me :rofl:

[Bad News Gertner]

[Fignuts]

It was probably slick damo.

[Lazy Scout]

It was probably slick damo.

Yep. It's funny, I figured out how to see my rep just by clicking on everything, like right after I originally replied.

[Bad News Gertner]

You gotta watch out for that known bully

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Is this a real account? Sorry felt like a sock with comments like ICP deserves to be in the WWE Hall of Fame instead of Hall of Pain/Shame/Jail/Zoo

[rez]

Socks are people too, Damon

[Lazy Scout]

Is this a real account? Sorry felt like a sock with comments like ICP deserves to be in the WWE Hall of Fame instead of Hall of Pain/Shame/Jail/Zoo

Of course it's a real account, lol. I have no clue what a sock is, besides something to wear on feet.

[Big Vic]

Sock confirmed^

[Bad News Gertner]

I like the new guy. Hope he stays around.

[Lazy Scout]

I plan to stick around as much as possible! :) College is kicking my ass though.

Makes sense. The Undertaker has always been a good shout for the WWE Hall of Fame even while wrestling. His act is presented as "timeless," and it's not like Hall of Famers need to retire now anyways. But something about The Rock and Batista being in Hollywood makes their induction seem "premature."

Is it the idea that they might possibly come back?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Yeah, but it also ages them. Something about The Rock, especially, just feels like you present him as a guy perpetually in his prime. Slapping the Hall of Fame sticker on him makes him seem way less urgent in my head.

[EIWF]

How about the British Bulldogs? A good ta team, with Dynamite recently passing. Time to put them in the hof?

[Corndad]

Saw a rumor about Bam Bam going in this year being from New Jersey.

[Emperor Smeat]

Would make sense considering he was originally rumored to get inducted last year before WWE swapped him out with someone else instead. Also was the only person on the leaked list that didn't get inducted in last year's class.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Bam Bam makes sense as the posthumous. The Undertaker as the headliner. Cyndi Lauper as celebrity. Michelle McCool as the woman. The Glamour Girls as the group. I can see Johnny Saint going in. There are maybe two more spots. X-Pac going in one of these years makes sense.

[Evil Vito]

Regal needs to go in

[Mr. Nerfect]

Regal will go in one year, but I see them putting in Saint (no doubt he'll be there for WrestleMania week), and I can see Regal putting Saint in so we still get some Regal talking.

[Evil Vito]

If Christian goes in I wonder how many times Lock Jaw will jack off during his speech.

YES. If it wasn't for Victoria using that song, I never would have discovered t.A.T.u.'s music... still a fave of mine, all these years later.

[Gerard]

Would like to see John Tenta go in this year, dead almost 13 years :(

[Mr. Nerfect]

Weird that Earthquake isn’t in yet.

[Evil Vito]

I'd heard they want to put The Natural Disasters in together even though they only teamed for like two years.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Earthquake should go in by himself.

[Blue Demon]

Quake definitely has a HoF worthy career. I'm also surprised he hasn't been inducted.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Yeah, genuinely surprised by that. Actually, if they planned to have Hogan induct him, I guess over the past few years it hasn't been all that surprising. I think Bam Bam in the best choice for a posthumous this year, given the New Jersey connection, but Quake for next year, definitely.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Cyndi Lauper going in this year would be a great tie-in for the first women's main event. "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and all that.

[xrodmuc316]

Yeah, genuinely surprised by that. Actually, if they planned to have Hogan induct him, I guess over the past few years it hasn't been all that surprising. I think Bam Bam in the best choice for a posthumous this year, given the New Jersey connection, but Quake for next year, definitely.

Sadly WWE seems to want to limit posthumous induction to no more than one or two a year, the whole wrestlers dying young thing. I get that for the wrestlers that OD, but someone like Tenta dying of natural causes shouldn't be lumped in with the wrestlers dying young group in the first place.

I think Bam Bam goes in, as they like to put in a hometowner. I also think Jim Neidhart is going in, since they used his death as a storyline and everything, seems that WWE should honor him with a HOF induction already.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Yeah, the natural causes stuff really shouldn't disuade WWE from honoring people. You're right on that one. Jim Neidhart will go in, but I can see them holding it off until it's not as fresh for Natalya, or so that it doesn't seem tokenstic. I mean, maybe the people involved won't see it that way, but it's kind of shitty when a guy dies and then WWE says "Oh yeah, they were a Hall of Famer." An active legend on the roster, like Eddie Guerrero, makes it a bit different, because it's the sudden capping of a career as opposed to suddenly looking at a body of work and acknowledging so soon after someone's death.

Agreed, especially when it's a guy like Jim Neidhart, who could have went in anytime in the last let's say 7 years, and nodody would have said he wasn't deserving. They should put people in while they can still enjoy it. If he is a HOFer after he dies, then he should have been one before as well.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Rick Martel
Christian
The Midnight Express with Jim Cornette

Lol, Rick Martel is my go-to for "mid-card" entrants in. It's not like he wasn't great or doesn't "deserve it" by WWE standards, but you can't just see him headline. So surprised he's not in already, to be honest.

That's honestly a really great list. The thing about the Midnights and Cornette is that I just can't see them going in with Cornette being so opinionated and "active" with those opinions. Like, not in a "there's heat there" sort of way, but I don't know if they want to put in a guy that is going to be objectively tearing their shows to pieces in a very public way if it comes up on his podcast, haha. After the Rock 'n' Roll went in in 2017, 2018 would have been a great time to put Cornette and the Midnights in in New Orleans. I don't know if Corny would make the trip to New York, haha. But he's always said he wouldn't hold the Midnights back from it, and the New York thing would be a giant rib on him.

When it comes to tag teams, I can see them putting a woman's team in this year. The Glamor Girls? Just with those new women's belts and the emphasis on the women.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Seriously don't think it would be ridiculous to put David Arquette in the celebrity wing. Horribleness of the angle aside, he was a fucking World Heavyweight Champion. It also wouldn't shock me for The Miz to bring David Arquette into his entourage at some point. Lol, maybe they hire Freddie Prinze, Jr. again and have him run around with them. Hire back Jody Kristofferson. Shame they couldn't get Luke Perry's kid.

I'm not a Miz fan, but that stable would be hilarious. Miz as the leader/full-time wrestler, David Arquette as his insane former World Heavyweight Champion buddy out to prove himself, Jody K. as the "bodyguard" and Freddie Prinze, Jr. as the associate that is going to one day introduce Miz to Sarah Michelle Gellar, but she's "very busy." The Fame Horsemen.

[TNARICK1]

Arquette was always great. I was a big fan of the angle back then. It should have never took this long for people to start coming around to him, he put on a great performance and had me invested as a fan when it happened. I went to see Ready 2 Rumble afterwards and it is still my favorite movie to this day. I would watch it every time I would see it on TBS even long after WCW closed.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Wonder if they will ever legitimately induct Jim Johnston.

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol, Rick Martel is my go-to for "mid-card" entrants in. It's not like he wasn't great or doesn't "deserve it" by WWE standards, but you can't just see him headline. So surprised he's not in already, to be honest.

That's honestly a really great list. The thing about the Midnights and Cornette is that I just can't see them going in with Cornette being so opinionated and "active" with those opinions. Like, not in a "there's heat there" sort of way, but I don't know if they want to put in a guy that is going to be objectively tearing their shows to pieces in a very public way if it comes up on his podcast, haha. After the Rock 'n' Roll went in in 2017, 2018 would have been a great time to put Cornette and the Midnights in in New Orleans. I don't know if Corny would make the trip to New York, haha. But he's always said he wouldn't hold the Midnights back from it, and the New York thing would be a giant rib on him.

When it comes to tag teams, I can see them putting a woman's team in this year. The Glamor Girls? Just with those new women's belts and the emphasis on the women.

Cornette has been doing work with them here and there over the past couple of years and he's always said he would do it because it means Bobby, Stan and Dennis get a nice payday.

My love of Judy Martin is well known so I'm all for them getting in. Love Leilani as well. Great follow on facebook btw. I've chit chatted with her a couple of times. Recently joined a WWF 1970-1983 facebook group that I'm heavily involved in.

That reminds me Judy Bagwell will also be going into The KWF Hall Of Fame!

[Mr. Nerfect]

You're right about that. He wouldn't turn it down, but I just think they would have offered it to him earlier. Unless they wanted to wait for either Dennis to be healthy (that's a strong possibility actually) and the rib of making Corny go to New York is just too hilarious for some people to pass up.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Cornette says he's done managing, and I believe him, but I could see him being used to cut some backstage promos for some guys as their "sponsor" or some shit and them easily being the best thing on any show.

[Lock Jaw]

If I'm putting together a realistic list of potential nominations (not suing the WWE, decent relationship etc..) it would look like this

Taker as headliner
Bam Bam
Cyndi Lauper
Victoria I guess
Rick Martel
Christian
The Midnight Express with Jim Cornette

This list is a joke.





Christian should be the headliner. :shifty:

[Bad News Gertner]

Until he inducted the Rock and Roll Express, he wasn't on the greatest terms. He's been steadily involved in projects with them. He did that "WWE Photo Shoot" show and the "Table for 3" on the Network quite recently.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Yeah, terms have seemed good, but I don’t know how actively they want to go the “whole way” with him. Apparently Cornette suggested doing a series on classic wrestling for them.

[Jordan]

Is Jerry Jarrett a ridiculous suggestion? I feel like he would belong and cold have a good moment with Jeff inducting him.

[Rammsteinmad]

With the extension of WWE now, with NXT UK and various other things in the works, as well as having non-WWE guys like Abdullah in, it'd be cool if there was a wing for guys who never worked in WWE but still have significance to the history of the sport. A few UK guys like Johnny Saint or Robbie Brookside going in would be cool.

[XL]

They do have the Legacy Wing.

I actually meant to add Jerry to my list and forgot

[Mr. Nerfect]

Not ridiculous, but doesn't really seem like the WWE thing to do. I don't think they really pay attention to accurate history a lot of the time.

[Bad News Gertner]

They've inducted any promoters/ older wrestlers that have little to do with the WWE who have sons in the company/involved with them.

Bob Armstrong (Road Dogg)
Stu Hart (Bret Hart)
The Sheik (Sabu/RVD)
Carlos Colon (Primo,Epico)
Eddie Graham (Mike Graham was doing stuff with the company)

[Shisen Kopf]

Chris Benoit deserves to be in. He was a great rassler. His family was a pain in the ass that had to be disciplined

You're right. It's certainly a possibility. I don't know why, I just don't feel it though. Happy to be wrong though, because he definitely deserves it.

Man, Jim Cornette would be stoked to go in the same year as The Undertaker and Jerry Jarrett. And if Christian and Victoria were in place too, I imagine he'd be proud of them being in the class too.

[xrodmuc316]

WWE has to put Eric Bischoff in one of these years.

[johnsmagic]

Talk they going to put in orginal hart foundation Bret Hart ( Already inducted) Jim Neidhart and Jimmy Hart (Already inducted)....... whats the point ?

[Bad News Gertner]

Jim isn't in and they are one of the greatest tag teams in company history.

[johnsmagic]

Put him on hes own then, Don't see the point of making Bret and Jimmy 2x HOFers... Both don't deserve that honor have Jimmy and Bret induct him and have Natalya do the accepting on he's behalf

[Bad News Gertner]

They've done it with others. Ric Flair for example.

[Evil Vito]

I always liked to imagine that when the Four Horsemen went in, even though it was their most famous incarnation, I choose to believe that Paul Roma and Mongo became unofficial HOFers lol

Now Owen, Pillman, and Bulldog can unofficially be in!

[Emperor Smeat]

Regarding the Hall of Fame, Dave Meltzer said on Observer Radio there’s not much talk backstage about headliners (who normally would have been announced by now) and the 2019 class seems to be a low priority for the company.

Thought something felt very odd since its now February and WWE hasn't made any official announcements yet regarding this year's class. Same for the lack of rumors regarding potential names compared to recent years.

Could be looking at a potential throwaway or "last minute" type class if that rumor is true.

Eddie was one half of the Graham Brothers team along w/ Dr. Jerry Graham in the CWC days. The Sheik was also a regular in the CWC days and had WWWF title shots against Sammartino and Morales.

[Bad News Gertner]

Yeah but that's not what wither of them are known for
