Hall of Fame 2018 Thread
 

One hour pre-show on right now for some reason

"oh no" at Byron Saxton's suit

Weird at New Day wearing Dr. Evil outfits

Charly Caruso looking good

Bayley's fiancee obviously a big fan of Rufio..... red streak in his hair......

"sumptuous"

Lana going in and out of her accent but looking good

Matt Hardy breaking character

Mark Henry is fat.

AJ Styles has better hair than his wife

Fans won't stop chanting Rusev Day..... seems like he will probably be mega-over this weekend

AJ Styles' got a soccer mom haircut.

Random shot of Bobby Roode walking the red carpet looking like he was "out of his mind"

Jeff Hardy saying he was so "envious" of not being in the Ultimate Deletion.

By the context of everything else he said, seems like he meant "jealous".

Dude keeps checking out Carmella and her sister

Miz's Parent's sighting.....

Miz's Dad saying he wants to be called PapaGeorgio, and his mom saying she wants to be called Gammy Barbie

Apollo Cruise walking in holding hands with either Charlotte or a braud that looks a lot like Charlotte

Pre-show ending with Daniel Bryan saying "Way to cut me off, Byron"

Hahahaha

:lol: Christian's attempt to induct himself into the Hall

mr t moma stories

:D One last 3D and table moment from the Dudleys

Catching up because I forgot about this. Watching The Dudleys now.

Bubba bringing the feels with the photos of his folks.

This is horrible

"Mae Young was the toughest man I've ever met in my life."

They've never gotten to work with Nia in the ring, have they?

Nice Stu Hart voice.

Zero fucks D-Von Dudley for SmackDown GM

Jimmy Hart never ages

Maybe he found the fountain of youth.

Really into Hillbilly Jim's speech.

Wow, what an amazing speech from Hillbilly Jim.

:lol: at Ivory's jokingly digs at Ric Flair.

RTC music lol

Oh man I thought Stevie Richards was about to make a run-in

serious lag.

Triple H's induction speech for Kid Rock sounds like it was written word-for-word for Jim Johnston.

Everybody start crying now Bitches!

Will do, Gertner

Nice short and sweet speech by Kid Rock.

:lol:

J-e- Double f ,J a double r e double t.

Road dogg hey this isn't 1995 , we have a mic over here, and loose the damn hat.

Jarrett - he really is the boss.

:lol: Jarrett's reaction to the Arquette feud in WCW.

He's trying not to tear up.

If WWE ever inducts Owen Hart into their Hall, either Bret or Jarrett would be the best choices. Bret for the family connection, Jarrett for how close of a friend he was to him.

LOL Christian. looks better on you slap nuts!

Amazing speech by Double J.

MY Baby tonight!!!!!

This is great.

Speech of the night.

The guy telling "TNA!" was a tool.

:lol:

This is so hammy but fun at the same time. Trying to out do Sexy Kurt from last year

:lol: at Cena Mania joke by the kid.

:-\ Henry not wearing the salmon-colored suit.

Henry's improv comedy on WWE's sudden production botch was amazing.

:love: Henry brought out the salmon-colored suit.

His speech has been great so far.

Either WWE needs to consider holding the Hall of Fame an hour or two earlier or start enforcing a semi-cap on speech length since another year where a big chunk of the crowd bails before its over.

Hell, the HoF isn't even on Saturday anymore. Suck it up and stay for the whole ceremony.

Probably the worst speeches as a whole

Wait, whoah. Jarrett was inducted?

I can't blame the wrestlers for leaving early, to be honest. They've been up since god knows what time doing Axxess and media appearances, and have to do the same today. Also many of them bring spouses/significant others/family/friends to this and I'd be hard pressed to think someone who isn't a seriously dedicated wrestling fan would want to sit through a near 5 hour ceremony.

What they should do is hold the ceremony in the afternoon and simply broadcast it on WWE Network in the evening. Or at least lessen the number of inductees per year.

The speeches were kinda *meh* this year.

Doing it in the afternoon would help a lot considering most start bailing by 11pm. Simplest would be to just push the pre-show back to 6PM and hold the ceremony at 7PM instead.

Didn't help this year's event suffered due to most speeches being too long and all the inductees being alive.

The Dudleys speach should have been 10 mins shorter at least and Jeff Jarretts could have been longer. Hillbilly Jim rambled on for way way too long. Speach of the night goes to Kid Rock. Ivory's could have been good but the wedding shit ruined it. Honestly probably the worst HOF class and night.

Did they actually leave or is this some trolling shot like usual?

Im watching this now. Would have rather had more Jarrett than Hillbilly Jim. Jarrett being there was just as a surreal moment as some of the other surreal moments at the HOF and he seemed legit moved by it

Finally finished this. Felt bad for Goldberg. His speech seemed rushed. Maybe he really wanted it to be that short though so I dunno.

Goldbergs speech was good. Just isn't a funny and entertaining speech. But it was impactful.

I am about to watch Goldberg. I couldn't make it past an hour an a half of this mess live Friday night. Mark was amazing and Jeff was really good too. Bout to watch Goldberg.

The shot of Mark Henry's son at the end of his speech will be played before he main events a WM someday.

Halfway into Goldberg's speech... this guy is an amazing speaker! Anyone else thinking future Raw/Smackdown! GM?

Goldberg's appearances on The Goldbergs have been funny

That is a trolling shot, the majority of those seats are for invited guests. I wouldn't expect someone like Bubba Ray's Uncle to still be there 3 hours later.

There is at least probably 500 floor seats, and between the active roster and agents, maybe 150 WWE employed people there.

It's just a troll in terms of "wrestlers not respecting hall of farmers".

Kevin Nash is really an asshole huh. Was he in control of creative when he beat Goldberg on his bday?
