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 01-09-2019 09:28 PM

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

Mr. Nerfect 01-09-2019 09:32 PM

Well, Lauper going in makes more sense now then.

Mr. Nerfect 01-09-2019 09:32 PM

Especially since they will want Hogan to induct someone.

Bad News Gertner 01-09-2019 09:34 PM

It really should be Wendi Richter who inducts her

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

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

Evil Vito 01-10-2019 01:56 PM

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.

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 01-10-2019 05:51 PM

I've never understood the love for Victoria

Fignuts 01-10-2019 06:00 PM

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

Mr. Nerfect 01-10-2019 07:37 PM

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 01-17-2019 05:21 PM

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

Nicky Fives 01-18-2019 01:15 PM

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 01-18-2019 06:13 PM

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.

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.

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.

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:

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

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 01-21-2019 08:53 AM

Sock confirmed^

I like the new guy. Hope he stays around.

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."
