Who would you like to see go in the HOF next year?

I guess my list would be

Mic Foley
JBL
Andy Kauffman
Demolition
Sable
The Brooklyn Brawler
Larry Zybsko

Isn't Zybsko in the dog house right now? Don't remember why.

Love to see Vader go in, Bigelow as well.

Sid Vicious, and have him give a crazy ass speech.

Andy Kaufman is always the first to come to mind.

Oh, and why Bob Backlund isn't in it already, I have no idea. He's obviously on good terms with the company. Makes no sense.

The Honky Tonk Man

The Ultimate Warrior

The Macho Man

The British Bulldog

Owen Hart

Andy Kaufman

Billy Gunn
Jeff Jarrett
Test
Buff Bagwell
Kronik

Macho
Warrior
Vader
Bastian Fuckin Booger!
Barry Horowitz! <-- Winner right there

I want Buff to get in just so people can't use the Koko B Ware argument anymore.

Barry Horowitz. Let's get the campaign started.

Pretty sure Kaufman will be the celebrity as King almost died..... not to sound mean, but it's true..... other than that.... the usual suspects..... Randy Savage, "Ravishing" Rick Rude, British Bulldog, Mick Foley, Vader, Sammartino.....

Did he refuse it ala Sammartino?

Not that I know of. And considering he came back and wrestled a match a couple months ago, it doesn't seem like there's any hostility to blame. Something has to be up though. He should have been a no-brainer a long time ago.

Ultimate Warrior
Rick Rude
Harlem Heat
Chyna
Mr T

I know he's a bit mental but i've never really heard anyone say anything bad about him, figured maybe he'd knocked it back. Wasn't there some else saying they'd refuse because of Drew Carey getting in before them? Mr T maybe?

Mr. T needs to pity himself for refusing, damn fool!

Murdock was cooler anyway :foc:

Judy Bagwell :shifty:

Bobby Jaggers and Mike Graham

I preferred Lance Cade myself.

Rick Rude
The Great Muta - for his classic rivalry with Sting in WCW
Tommy Dreamer - for being ECW's mainstay from start to finish.
Demolition

He could be possible as he wrestled for the WWF in the late 1980s.

Savage
Sting
Warrior
Rude
Owen
Demolition
Kauffman

Don't they have some rule whereby only one deceased person per year goes in?

If I had to pick, I'd go for...

Mick Foley as the star attraction (because honestly, is there anyone else who could *realistically* go in as the main 'draw' for the event ala Austin, Edge, Hogan etc in years past?)

Slick (Jimmy Hart and Bobby Heenan are in...the Slickster was incredibly entertaining back in the day when every heel wrestler had a manager..he deserves to be in, surely:)

Bob Backlund (cos he's Bob Friggin Backlund)

Sid (I'd put Sid in before Vader simply because he accomplished more in his WWF/E career and this is a WWE event)

Demolition (no explination needed)

I *would* have said put Sable in there..Sunny is in after all and with Brock back in the company you'd have to imagine things could be worked out between his wife and WWE..*But* most of Sable's most memorable moments involved getting her tits out..how would they explain that in the ulta-pg modern WWE?

Kevin Nash, Diesel, Oz, Vinnie Vegas, Master Blaster.

something about using the words lad/lads around Americans/online that is quite satisfying as opposed to using or hearing it in real life, where it makes me want to bludgeon the perpetrator

Tell me more about his WWF run DLVH84 so I can make a proper "Put Bobby Jaggers in the HOF" essay.

Robert F. Jeaudoin (January 8, 1948 - September 30, 2012) was an American professional wrestler, best known under the ring name of "Hangman" Bobby Jaggers.[2] Most of his renown as a wrestler came from his appearances in various National Wrestling Alliance-affiliated promotions. In particular, he found his greatest success in Championship Wrestling from Florida and Pacific Northwest Wrestling, the latter near his hometown of Vancouver, Washington. His wrestling gimmick was of a cowboy from Kansas, where he spent the later years of his life.

[edit]Early life

Born Robert F. Jeaudoin in Vancouver, Bobby Jaggers attended Hudson's Bay High School. In December 1966, he joined the United States Army and spent a year and a half in Vietnam. He was in the "A" Battery of the 1/30 Artillery 1st Calvary, and fought in battles in Hue, Khe Saah, A-Shau Valley, and the Tet offensive. Upon returning home, he worked at a NABISCO cookie factory in Washington, until he met Sandy Barr, whom he credited for saving his life. Jeaudoin suffered after Vietnam, so when Barr asked him if he wanted to be a wrestler, he immediately said yes.
[edit]Pro wrestling career

[edit]Early years (1972-1977)
Debuting under the name Bobby Mayne (after his favorite wrestler Lonnie Mayne) in 1972 in the Pacific Northwest against Al Madril, Bobby Jaggers learned his craft. Soon after debuting, he moved to Memphis, where he teamed with Charlie Fulton and was managed by Sir Steve Clements. In 1973, he moved to Kansas City, where he caught the eye of Dory Funk, Jr., who wanted him in his Amarillo territory, in which he did split his time between the two territories.
In 1975, after a brief stint in San Francisco, he went to Louisiana to work for Bill Watts, where he formed a team with Jerry Brown. He later moved up to Canada in Vancouver, working for Al Tomko and All-Star Wrestling, but didn't last long, as he left after a falling-out with Gene Kiniski. He then moved down to Atlanta for Georgia Championship Wrestling, where he teamed up with Sterling Golden, who would go on to become one of the most iconic wrestlers in the world, Hulk Hogan. He would also wrestle in Knoxville for while, before moving down to Florida.
[edit]Peak years (1977-1988)
It was in Florida, where Bobby Jaggers found his niche. He feuded with Dusty Rhodes all over the territory. During that time, he would wrestle on and off for World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico, wrestle eighteen tours of Japan, and some shows in South Africa.
In 1984, he went to Portland for Don Owen and Pacific Northwest Wrestling. While there, he won four Heavyweight titles and two Tag Team titles, with one partner each, before leaving for the Mid-Atlantic area ran by Jim Crockett Promotions. While there, he formed his well-known tag team The Kansas Jayhawks with Dutch Mantel. In 1986, they lost to Ivan Koloff and Krusher Khrushchev in a tournament final to determine the inaugural NWA United States Tag Team Champions. Jaggers would remain in JCP until 1988.
[edit]Final years (1988-1991)
By 1988, Bobby Jaggers wrestled actively in Puerto Rico for WWC. But on July 16, 1988, one incident changed his life forever. After a show, Bruiser Brody was murdered in the shower in the locker room. Jaggers was in the heel locker room when Brody was in the face locker room. The murder made him slowly phase his career out, before finally retiring in 1991.
[edit]After wrestling

After retiring, Bobby Jaggers studied civil engineering at Kansas City University and took classes at Butler County Community College. He worked as a engineering technician for the state of Kansas. By 2007, he became a road and bridge specialist for the Department of Homeland Security for Kansas.
[edit]Death

Jaggers passed away on September 30, 2012 from renal failure after a prolonged period of ill health from Hepatitis C, which he had contracted while in the service in Vietnam. He was buried in the Dunlap Cemetery with full military honors. [3]

I say lad out loud irl all the time :'(

scousers are exempt tbf, haven't you lot been saying lad forever? Like it's almost Liverpool folklore. The influx over the last few years of seemingly every non-scouse male under 30 going out of their way to uncomfortably fit it into sentences tho, ruck time

Yeahh I think the average LPS (Lad Per Sentence, which is the official measurement of "Lads" according to Ye Olde Oxford English Dictionary) in Liverpool is like a solid 8.7 or so.

Thank you for posting that exact DLVH84 quote, CSL. I was hoping he could elaborate more on the little known WWF run Mr. Jaggers had. Despite my official title as the WWF's #1 fan, I will need a hand in the proper info to make my bullet points for the Bobby Jaggers HOF petition to send to Vince McMahon himself.

Warrior. He went to Africa, layed down and was trampled by raging elephants. What else can there be?

I say the same thing every year and I'm shocked he hasn't been mentioned already in this thread: Jake Roberts

Val Venis
Danny Basham
Doug Basham

In 1989, Bobby wrestled for the WWF on select shows all over the state of Kansas. It was during the time that he was slowly calling it a career, finally retiring two years later.

The Main Eventer
Randy Savage OR Mick Foley (save the other one for next year)

Hand full of mid carders
Honky Tonk Man
Brooklyn Brawler
Harlem Heat
Trish Stratus OR Lita
Dean Malenko OR Billy Kidman

Famous Person
Andy Kaufman

I will explain my reasons later. Gonna play WoW and drink some beer, suckas.

Is that you, Noid?

Foley is my headliner this year

Any of these guys would be good this year or the next couple of years:
Vader
Kevin Nash
Doink (Matt Osborne obviously)
Billy Gunn
Bob Backlund
Ken Shamrock

I feel like there are an excessive number of unfortunately deceased wrestlers who could go in, in any given year, many who have died fairly recently, mostly prematurely.

Savage
Owen
Test
Bam Bam Bigelow
Big Boss Man
Andy Kaufman

Celebrity Wing:

Mr. Belding.
Andy Kaufman.
William Shatner.
Cindy Lauper.

Wrestlers:

Steve Lombardi.
Macho Man and family.
Ms. Elizabeth.
Rrrrravishing Rick Rude.
Jake the Snake Roberts.
The Big Boss Man
Dino Bravo.

Nash and Hall before Hall dies.

Mike Rotunda
Lou Thesz
Jake Roberts
Jim Cornette
Rick Rude
King Kong Bundy
Rick Martel

Zybsko and Vince have never gotten along, but a few years ago he sued WWE for Jericho using the term "The Living Legend". I don't remember the outcome, but either or, I'm sure it didn't endear Larry to the WWE. Trust me, he's not going in any time soon.

The Honky Tonk Man has been asked for years now to go into WWE Hall of Fame, but he does what he does for money, and the money offered by WWE isn't good enough for him, and there is also a no complete clause for like 90 days in the contract after being inducted in the Hall of Fame and that would screw up Honky's independent bookings. Honky also feels he's too active in wrestling to be in the Hall of Fame.

Too active....ha. Is barely moving in a wrestling ring and doing half-ass wrestling moves that a teenager could do better really being "active in wrestling"?

Celebrity - Andy Kaufmann inducted by Jerry Lawler and Jim Carey

Mick Foley - Inducted by Terry Funk
Diamond Dallas Page - Inducted by Goldberg
Bob Backlund - Inducted by Bret Hart
The Steiner Brothers - Inducted by Jim Ross

No Jim Carrey. Just Lawler. He was the one who made him famous.

Stephanie McMahon's tits

I believe he also has said that the WWE has rights over the gimmick to for a time being as well.

I agree though - HTM is a no-talent hack and is like a whore - He only does what he does for money and he does a very half-ass job in the ring. I'd still like to see him in the WWE Hall of Fame just cause it amuses how when he is on good terms with Vince he is an even bigger whore then usual, but when he is not on good terms, he bad mouths them like a crack whore.

yeah, Honky is full of shit. He'd go into the HOF tomorrow if they asked him, putting "WWE Hall of Famer" on posters for shows that he's on means he can ask for more cash money
