Hall of Fame Discussion Thread
 
Well, who knows? Some notables might come out of it?

Tonight, WWE inducts the following into their Hall of Fame (Inductors in parenthesis):

Bret 'Hitman' Hart (by 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin)
Eddie Guerrero (by Chavo Guerrero, Rey Mysterio and Chris Benoit)
Sensational Sherri Martel (by 'Million $ Man' Ted DiBiase)
The Blackjacks (by Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan)
'Mr. USA' Tony Atlas (by Special Delivery Jones)
'Mean' Gene Okerlund (by Hulk Hogan)
Verne Gagne (by Greg Gagne)
William 'The Refridgerator' Perry (by John Wigneck)

The first two hours will be shown live on www.WWE.com, via a webcast, and the final hour will be live on USA Network (but not here in the UK :()

So what time does this webcast start, in UK time??

Flair Wooo 04-01-2006 06:48 PM

Think maybe 2 am? Not sure though.

NeanderCarl 04-01-2006 06:54 PM

The clocks going forward last week has thrown everything off. Raw starts at 3am over here nowadays, where it used to start at 2am!! Yet the pay-per-view, which usually airs at 1am, now starts at 12am tomorrow night. So is WrestleMania starting TWO hours earlier than your normal PPV?? I'm confused.

I don't remember there being any issues like this last year

Flair Wooo 04-01-2006 06:55 PM

Didn't the clocks go forward today in america?

NeanderCarl 04-01-2006 06:58 PM

They did? I wasn't even sure if they DO change in the U.S. They don't change in Europe. Or do they??

Schoenauer 04-01-2006 06:58 PM

Not until Sunday morning.

Flair Wooo 04-01-2006 06:59 PM

Ok so how long is it till this thing kicks off?

NeanderCarl 04-01-2006 07:11 PM

Must be 2am then, in that case.

Anybody wanna make this "sticky", a la your typical Raw/PPV threads?

Or should I have put the magic word (OFFICIAL) in the title for that to happen? :)

Flair Wooo 04-01-2006 07:26 PM

3 am we have to wait for it over here! The bret hart thing is on at 2:15 so.....

Londoner 04-01-2006 07:51 PM

So how can I watch the hall of fame in the uk?I don't have broadband so i can't really watch it on the internet.

NeanderCarl 04-01-2006 07:57 PM

You'll have to wait until Sky Sports shows it next week, or download it.

NeanderCarl 04-01-2006 07:58 PM

Pre-Hall of Fame photos online at WWE.com

NeanderCarl 04-01-2006 08:03 PM

Who's the guy in the background of the Austin/Hart pic? Looked like Eric Bischoff at first glance.

Xero 04-01-2006 08:30 PM

I'm pretty sure that IS Bischoff...

Xero 04-01-2006 08:31 PM

LOL at Goldust in makeup...

McDoogle 04-01-2006 08:38 PM

Bret Hart..goddamn right.

It's not Bischoff, I think it might be Heenan.

NeanderCarl 04-01-2006 08:40 PM

The media player is up and ready to go....

NeanderCarl 04-01-2006 08:42 PM

Who is that with Tatanka, looks very familiar to me...?

NeanderCarl 04-01-2006 08:43 PM

Isn't it a Guerrero?

LK 04-01-2006 08:44 PM

That is Eddie's brother - the name eludes me right now but it's not Hector.

LK 04-01-2006 08:45 PM

Yes it's Mando Guerrero

Xero 04-01-2006 08:46 PM

LOL, in the Superstar Graham/Jimmy Hart picture I can only identify one person in the background: Funaki! WWE... NUMBA 1 WALDO!

Edit: Oh, wait, Striker's in the corner... :$

Xero 04-01-2006 08:50 PM

Apparently it isn't live (it's being taped right now) and Shawn is in the crowd.

Also, Batista's there.

Azriel 04-01-2006 08:50 PM

This should an emotional/mark out night. Seeing Bret's just going to make me explode.

Xero 04-01-2006 08:52 PM

Bret's speech is going to be VERY emotional. I as well as others will shed a tear I'm sure.

Azriel 04-01-2006 08:52 PM

Of course Shawn would be there. I'm sure Vince had a long talk with Bret about that. I bet its a mandatory thing for all the superstars to be there. Plus I'm sure Sherri would be upset not to see Shawn there, since the two of them worked very well together

Xero 04-01-2006 08:53 PM

ROFL! I can't wait for Cena inducting The Fridge! :rofl:

Xero 04-01-2006 08:54 PM

Well sure. I'm just saying...

NeanderCarl 04-01-2006 08:55 PM

Who is that with Angle and Hardy? Looks a little like Doug Basham after a crash diet.

Xero 04-01-2006 08:55 PM

I want to say I've seen him. I think he may be in OVW and is a regular jobber.

NeanderCarl 04-01-2006 08:58 PM

How old is Billy Graham nowadays?? And he's still dyeing that beard. WHY?

NeanderCarl 04-01-2006 09:00 PM

Here goes...

LK 04-01-2006 09:01 PM

I think it's the ref - Chris Kay.

The Greater Power 04-01-2006 09:01 PM

Azriel 04-01-2006 09:01 PM

The Greater Power 04-01-2006 09:12 PM

BobBitchen 04-01-2006 09:12 PM

LK 04-01-2006 09:12 PM

Throat Cancer might have had something to do with it...

BobBitchen 04-01-2006 09:13 PM

Azriel 04-01-2006 09:17 PM

NeanderCarl 04-01-2006 09:18 PM

Anyone notice someone when they were panning the wrestlers?

TIM'S ALIVE!

NeanderCarl 04-01-2006 09:29 PM

Every year there is so much respect shown to Heenan... he should be a WWE employee for life, not a once a year gig.

LK 04-01-2006 09:29 PM

Is he sitting next to Josh, Xero?

Azriel 04-01-2006 09:30 PM

Steph is always a hottie! By the way, where's Shane?

Gerard 04-01-2006 09:30 PM

BobBitchen 04-01-2006 09:38 PM

Gagne just joined the Kiss My Ass club.

Azriel 04-01-2006 09:39 PM

What was that all about?

LoDownM 04-01-2006 09:39 PM

I'm glad I remembered this was tonight. Woulda been mad at myself for missing it.

Xero 04-01-2006 09:39 PM

Azriel 04-01-2006 09:40 PM

I can't wait to see the Cena reaction

Azriel 04-01-2006 09:41 PM

NeanderCarl 04-01-2006 09:42 PM

They must be doing this in chronological order or something... or they're getting the guys that nobody in the audience remembers out the way early before the crowd turns on them. Imagine "BORING!" chants at the Hall of Fame!

Azriel 04-01-2006 09:42 PM

Oh, and forget about Bundy and Giant Gonzalez

Ok, you can forget the Giant :lol:
