Big name being reported as the next WWF Hall of Fame inductee

[Bad News Gertner]

Meltzer and PWI are reporting The British Bulldog will be inducted this year.

[Evil Vito]

Long overdue.

[Bad News Gertner]

It'd be nice if the Dynamite Kid were going in as well

[Sepholio]

Yeah they have to put Dynamite Kid in. HAVE TO.

[Seanny One Ball]

I always laugh when I think about Diana Hart's claim that Dave boy was the biggest sports star in the UK back in the early 90's.
He might just have made the top 100.

Good wrestler though. Any match with Bret is worth seeing.

[Emperor Smeat]

Good choice.

WrestlingInc reported that JBL is another name expected to be announced for this year's class.

Between the confirmed and rumored names, this year's Hall of Fame class is shaping up to be very good outside of the Bellas being included.

Have the Bellas been announced officially yet?

I guess together they did enough to be in the HOF, but neither feels like one by themselves.

No, them and Jushin Thunder Liger are only rumored at the moment.

At least in regards to Liger, its being speculated his inclusion is just WWE trying to build up some desperately needed hype for their planned NXT Japan branch. Also probably wanting some of the mainstream exposure Liger's recent retirement generated.

Might as well include Mathilda. Would be awesome to have the three of them memorialized in bronze.

Maybe, but the guy deserves it as much as a Mil Mascaras did. Liger is one of those guys who has almost literally wrestled everywhere and done almost everything, and been around forever to the point that you just kinda take him wrestling somewhere for granted even with his age. So even if his induction is under the "false pretenses" of a public relations stunt as it were, at least that's better than a snub to an absolute living legend.

They do induct people from time to time who have had little to no working experience in WWE, but their being deserving seems to take a backseat to WWEs promoting. They hype them up by indicting them into the HOF, then say "hey, you can watch WWE HOFer Liger matches on the WWE Network!"

As long as the actual wrestler has a nice night getting honored, I will enjoy it, but it's classic Vince taking any chance to make money he can.
