Hall Of Fame 2019
 

Any news on who’s going in to the Hall Of Fame in 2019 haven’t heard anything yet and normally names are starting to get tossed around ?

Usually the headliner is announced in January via press release.

Probably The Rock

I am betting Jim Neidhart considering they are using his death in storylines. It is a natural payoff.

It's in the New York area, and since they treat every 5 year anniversary as just a little more special, I can see this being the year Vince himself goes in. I don't know if he would book himself as the headliner though.

I have a feeling Taker walks away after Mania 35, so I can see him getting the Flair treatment of going in as the headliner, then having his last match the next night.

I think WWE will also break their rule of only one deceased entry, and elect Bam Bam, again cause of the location, with Mania at Met Life Stadium.

I think this would be a good year for Sable, probably the only way WWE gets Lesnar to show up to a HOF event without inducting him.

Christian might finally get in as well.

Not sure who else.

If Vince goes in this year, Stone Cold should be the obvious choice to induct him.

Weren't there rumors going around that the nWo (yep, I still type it like that) would go in as a stable?

I hear Chris Benoit is a possibility

Who’s going to be the unwarranted inductee? Every year they have head scratchers so I’ll say The Smoking Guns

Skinner

What about me

What about Lock Jaw

Supposedly The Rock is going in since they switched around Hall of Fame and NXT shows to complement his schedule.

I like how people keep complaining that it is hypocritical and isn't fair for WWE to keep Chyna out cause she did porn.

But it's not that she did porn, it's that she did a porn spoof of WWE, which included her fucking "Vince" and "Stephanie" characters.

I get WWE wanting to stay completely away from that.

Nancy's family are being tossed around as the ones inducting him

You know, if WWE welcomed Hogan, Snuka, Warrior etc back, hall of fame etc

With Benoit at this point it's Never Say Never, even more so with the decrease in big name headliners. They're running out of big names.

Sooner or Later, Benoit, Owen Hart and Chyna will be inducted. Owen on the otherside of the other 2.

And what was Owen's offense?

Why wouldn't he get inducted?

Martha not allowing that to happen.

Chyna is being blackballed because she has a huge clit.

Do people still actually want Benoit in? I mean, he's still one of my all-time favourites based on his work, but I'm way over the fact that WWE don't want anything to do with him. Can't believe there are still people out there that think WWE are being unreasonable.

Lol, I don't think anyone thinks he's going to go in.

The only realistic headliners are really Rock, Batista and Undertaker. Well, maybe Triple H too, but he's not going to let himself be portrayed as old. Maybe DX? I don't know.

Could Kane be a headliner?

Maybe if Martha won't let Owen in, they'll induct The Blue Blazer...as portrayed by Mo of Men on a Mission.

Well, if they inducted Koko

What's the story here?

Koko deserves to be in based on his work in the territories and being one of the earliest successful black wrestlers.

Most people only know him for his WWF work where he was just above jobber status despite being fairly over with crowds, so they scoff at his induction.

Also Bull Nakano deserves a spot. AJW was selling out arenas and filling stadiums long before the women’s revolution, and Nakano was one of their greatest talents I believe she holds the record for longest title reign.

Gene will be a shoe in

Mean Gene is already in the Hall of Fame.

Bertha Faye before Bull Nakano. America first America number 1

Koko absolutely deserves to be in. People should stop using him as he the “Well if HE can get in...” example. The guy was crazy over. Which should be the first requirement with anything else being a distant second.

Is Bertha Faye not already in?

Noppers.

There are far worse wrestlers in the Hall of Fame than Koko. With Wrestlemania being in the New York area this year, I hope to hell they finally induct Cyndi Lauper. She's one of the main reasons why they have a show today.

I don't get why they haven't inducted her. She was fucking awesome in her role.

Tatanka should go in. He had the REAL greatest streak in rasslin history

Should there be a criteria for someone to be inducted

I.E Title reigns, popularity ( merch sales) , longevity... Most sporting organization will have a certain criteria around their respective HOF

Not true, you are only eligible for the HOF if you murder 0-1 people, not 2.

There are 2 things considered:
1. Can Vince make money off their induction
2. Have they missed Vince off

1 is most important, the more money Vince can make, the less 2 matters, see Ultimate Warrior.

Although, if Vince REALLY likes somebody, they can still get in even if it won't make him that much money.

Not when it comes to women’s wrestling. Also, Bertha Faye was Canadian, you fucking goof.

Like Nakano, Faye deserves a spot mainly for her work outside of WWE. But Nakano’s impact was much greater in that regard.

Cindi Lauper should absolutely have been inducted to the celebrity wing by now. Should have been one of the first really.

She's arguably the biggest omission from the Hall in general

Lauper was on Raw back when Heath Slater was doing his schtick of getting beaten up by a different legend each week. It's crazy that she isn't in.

Also, I'm sick of people bitching about Koko B Ware being undeserving every year. You shitfucks don't deserve Koko B Ware.
