I love Waltman and am glad he's getting the 2-time honor but it seems weird that he's being added with the big 3, and nobody else.

Hogan, Hall and Nash were mediocre wrestlers with great personalities. Sean Waltman was a great wrestler with no personality.

Scott Norton should run in and powerbomb everyone during the acceptance speech

Yeah, WWE usually holds off till around after the Rumble to start officially announcing names.

If I had to guess its probably just them trying to be one step ahead of the dirtsheets since this is around the time of the year when potential names and lists start getting leaked. Wouldn't be surprised if the next names get revealed on future episodes of WWE Backstage as a desperate ploy to boost its ratings.

weird Big Show is not going in. Maybe they want to induct him as a solo first.

although has X-PAC been inducted as a solo yet?

You cant put NWO in the Hall of Fame and not have Scott Norton included.

nWo has been presented forever as Hogan, Hall, and Nash.

I get that, but not sure how Waltman, who was the 6th person to join hence the name Syxx, is included. He wasn't even in the nWo that long.

Big Show and Ted Dibiase joined before him, and were in longer.

Scott Steiner and Buff Bagwell feel way more nWo Syxx.

Macho Man and Mr Perfect were far bigger stars.I

Scott Norton and Konnan were big contributors.

What about the Wolfpack? Lex Luger and Sting were in that. Hell, what about Fake Sting?

What about the nWo B&W jobber faction with Stevie Ray and Disco Inferno?I

nWo 2000? Jeff Jarrett and Bret Hart

WWE nWo has HBK and Booker T

Hell even Dusty Rhodes, Dennis Rodman, and Vincent were in the nWo lol

They EVEN had the nWo "ELITE", stick that in the HOF, Young Bucks would cry :(

They could get SOOOO many 2 time Hall of Famers!

Really though, all these 2 time Hall of Famers, seriously how many of those do we need?
Flair
Hart
Booker T
Hogan
Hall
Nash
X-Pac

I'd pop for that.

Probably further down the line.

Only if he buys a ticket. And wears a blue dot. :lol:

I wouldn't be shocked if they do a sight gag where a whole bunch of former nWo members on good terms with the company show up on stage in nWo shirts...even the awful WWE version of the stable. Big Show, HBK, Harlem Heat, Brutus Beefcake, DiBiase, etc.

Obviously not this year, because he would headline his own class. Maybe even be the only inductee of the year to give him the due he deserves and to give him plenty of speech time.

I assume Christian will go in on the night Randy Orton is the headliner. And he will get a nice 30 second spot while Randy gets a full hour.

It'll be when Evolution goes in. They'll go in before Randy. Christian will go in with Edge as the tag team.

It's only a matter of time when Christian gets inducted. We all know it's mainly based around where WrestleMania is being held.

Seeing it rumored in a few places that Tony Garea might go in this year. Wouldn't be a headline grabber by any means, and honestly I'm surprised he wasn't inducted in the early days when the Hall was much more of a "thank you for your service" to long-term backstage employees.

Part of me wonders if it's part of a strategy towards acknowledging Australia/New Zealand as an area of interest prior to an eventual NXT: Australia launch.

His accomplishments alone should have gotten him in a long time ago. First 5 time tag champ in the history of the company.

Probably since they've already done the same for Japanese wrestlers by giving them a legacy spot for the past few years in a row and NXT Japan seems to be their next branch.
