Whose time is it to be in the 2022 Hall of Fame class...

IT'S VADER'S TIME

[Jordan]

WWE usually likes to have a sort of "draw" for the induction, I wonder who will be chosen for Vader?

[Bad News Gertner]

Sting would be perfect but probably not happening

[Bad News Gertner]

Nevermind

It needs to be Cory Matthews from Boy Meets World

[Lock Jaw]

They did have some all time classics

[xrodmuc316]

I would guess Mick Foley inducts him

[Bad News Gertner]

Cornette is another option

[Jordan]

I would guess Mick Foley inducts him

Yeah that would be good.

[Fignuts]

Cornette is another option

He wouldnt do it. Despite some covid restrictions being lifted, he still has no desire to be involved in any mass gatherings at the moment.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Fingers crossed for Stan Hansen to induct Vader.

[Bad News Gertner]

He wouldnt do it. Despite some covid restrictions being lifted, he still has no desire to be involved in any mass gatherings at the moment.

That sounds like Cornette lol

[Big Vic]

HBK should do the induction.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Cornette would be awesome, but they’ll probably get someone like Mick Foley or even a celebrity to do it.

[#1-norm-fan]

If they threw enough money at Cornette, I bet he’d do it.

Not because he’s desperate but because WWE seems willing to toss a shitload of money around. And it would be good for the podcasts. I know he’s very much against going out for small gigs during a pandemic but a situation where he can fly back home the next morning for a big paycheck… I can see him saying “Fuck it.”

[erickman]

zeb colter or dutch would be good, i don't think he is pissed at wwe

[McLegend]

Nevermind

It needs to be Cory Matthews from Boy Meets World

But how would his son Frankie feel about that though?

[Gerard]

John Tenta

[weather vane]

Sid is next possibly…

[xrodmuc316]

Apparently there is some buzz about inducting the Steiner Brothers as the tag team this year. I get they are on great terms with Rick and his son, but how the hell are they going to give Scott a mic, he will burn that place to the ground.

[RaginRonic]

Sid is next possibly…

If Sid goes in this year as well, Vane, then with Taker's induction, we will have all 14 men who used the WWF Winged Eagle World Championship in the Hall.

The list, in order of induction.

Andre the Giant(2nd user(1993))

Sgt. Slaughter(6th user(2004))

Hulk Hogan(1st/Charter user(2005))

Bret Hart(8th user(2006))

Ric Flair(7th user(2008(solo induction)))

'Stone Cold' Steve Austin(14th/Final user(2009))

Shawn Michaels(12th user(2011))

Yokozuna(9th user(2012))

Bob Backlund(10th user(2013))

The Ultimate Warrior(4th user(2014))

'Macho Man' Randy Savage(3rd user(2015))

Kevin 'Diesel' Nash(11th user(2015))

The UnderTaker(6th user(2022))

Sid?(13th user(2022?))

Which would warrant, to me, the Winged Eagle World Title be inducted itself into the Hall in the future with the late Reggie Parks. It'd be the perfect way to show gratitude to him.

o.o

[#1-norm-fan]

Reggie Parks being inducted would be great but I don’t know if it’s “flashy” enough for Vince to do it.

Jim Johnston too.

[weather vane]

The HOF pisses me off. That Legacy Wing..

[Bad News Gertner]

Holy shit! Sid!!!!!!!!

[RP]

FIT FINLAY

[Tom Guycott]

Scott: "GIVE ME A FUCKIN' MIC!"
Lawler: "Uh-oh!"

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Fucking finally

[Mr. Nerfect]

Could Brad Rheingans be who they choose to induct Vader?

[erickman]

Holy shit! Sid!!!!!!!!

if true this will be a good big man class. taker vader sid

[Bad News Gertner]

Sid, Vader and Taker all used Powerbombs as finishers

I'm expecting Scott Norton to be next

[Mr. Nerfect]

Which women and black wrestlers used powerbombs as finishes?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Batista could keep the powerbomb theme going next year.

[Mr. Nerfect]

APA going in as a team?

[Bad News Gertner]

Which women and black wrestlers used powerbombs as finishes?

Lol Judy Martin who I would lose my shit if she got in


Black wrestler. Keith Lee haha

[Bad News Gertner]

D Lo paralyzed Droz with a running powerbomb.

[Bad News Gertner]

Oh shit forgot about Sable

[#1-norm-fan]

I wonder if Droz ever goes in or if WWE is just like “We’ll help you out privately but let’s not shine a public light on your existence.”

[Evil Vito]

If they really do put in an all powerbomb class, the final entrant for the class needs to be Kidman.

[slik]

Sid is next possibly…

The rumor for the rest of the 2022 HOF are SID, Steiner Brothers and Queen Sharmell

[Bad News Gertner]

That would be a hell of a class

[Lock Jaw]

Kurt Angle should induct Sharmell

[Evil Vito]

LOL Sharmell

That would manage to simultaneously be the most token black AND token female induction ever.

[xrodmuc316]

LOL Sharmell

That would manage to simultaneously be the most token black AND token female induction ever.

I mean she did add to King Bookah's act, but that was like a 1 year run lol

[xrodmuc316]

Which women and black wrestlers used powerbombs as finishes?

Ahmed Johnson's finish was kind of like a powerbomb, and he played for the Cowboys! Pearl River Plunge time!

2gp-74P5D7o

[weather vane]

Sharmell? This HOF is wacky.

[Fignuts]

They have the unenviable task of including women for inclusivity's sake, when there are only a handful of women who had any signifigant impact before the "revolution".

I expect Kelly Kelly to get an induction at some point.

[Fignuts]

Honestly though, if Sharmell can get in for being a valet for a year, lets get Bull Nakano in already.

vince needs to bite the builit and put gail kim in

[Fignuts]

Im not sure Gail Kim wants to be in.

[Bad News Gertner]

Put Sable in

[weather vane]

Yeah there are much more deserving women than Paisley. Jesus.

[Destor]

stunning and brave

[drave]

but never funny

[erickman]

Put Sable in

she is not in there already i figured she was

[rez]

Who would induct Sable? Brock or Torrie Wilson?

[rez]

When are ICP getting nominated?

[Fignuts]

Marc Mero

[rez]

that'd be awkward

[Fignuts]

Deliciously so.

[erickman]

i just heard they just want to put rick Stiener not scot, that would be odd the fans will yell we want big popa pump.

[Tom Guycott]

I wonder if Droz ever goes in or if WWE is just like “We’ll help you out privately but let’s not shine a public light on your existence.”

To be absolutely fair, it isn't like Droz was around long enough to have a potentially Hall of Fame worthy career. WWE would have more of a basis to induct Shane Taylor at this point, and he's never wrestled there.

They have the unenviable task of including women for inclusivity's sake, when there are only a handful of women who had any signifigant impact before the "revolution".

I expect Kelly Kelly to get an induction at some point.

I honestly thought she was already in. This is not a joke of any kind, I thought they inducted her. They always refer to her as "legendary" and she never learned how to run ropes. Nobody getting in should surprise anyone, especially if they have a vagina and was on the roster at any time.

[Big Vic]

To be absolutely fair, it isn't like Droz was around long enough to have a potentially Hall of Fame worthy career. WWE would have more of a basis to induct Shane Taylor at this point, and he's never wrestled there.

Maybe a "Warrior Award" would be more fitting.

[Bad News Gertner]

Droz had a WWE.com column for a long time after his injury.

[XL]

Sharmell confirmed.

[Fignuts]

lol

[Sepholio]

Ahahahahahaha Sharmell.

[XL]

Is she the new low bar for HOF entry?

[James Steele]

Is she the new low bar for HOF entry?

Yes.

[#1-norm-fan]

Probably not by typical Hall of Fame standards.

By WWE Hall of Fame standards at this point, Droz is Babe fucking Ruth. Lol

[#1-norm-fan]

Palmer Cannon should be a lock soon enough.

[XL]

Only if he’s inducted by the Minis Division.

[fundiddle]

wwe parades around cancer victims in the name of philanthropy but can't recognize a guy like droz who is humble and afaik didn't try to sue them for getting paralyzed in their ring. i say have d'lo induct him, wheel him out, bring on the waterworks. would be a really cool thing despite the obvious self-serving nature of it, but it really doesn't always matter how long you were there (obviously) or what you did, your accomplishments can easily be overshadowed (see: benwah) and who's to say what future droz may have had. deserves the honor as much as anyone, at least in my book

[Lock Jaw]

Yo yo yo yo IT'S CRYME TYME

[Sepholio]

Wish they were inducting Doink.

[Bad News Gertner]

Alabama Doink

I thought he passed away last year and it was actually 2020. Damn, time really does blend.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Good for Shad’s family. I hope this leads to JTG talking with the company. And that they sign Fandango to be his partner. WWE could use some Dirty Sexy Boys.
