Official WWE Hall of Fame 2010 Telecast Thread
 

Starts at 11PM EST on USA Network.

According to PWInsider, it's going to be Gorgeous George, Uecker and DiBiase on TV.

So... Sup?

If anyone has a stream - post it.

I'm watching the Shawn/Bret Iron Man Match right now. I forgot this was on but I'll watch it when it starts

Dibiase I get but Uecker and George not so much . really thought it would be Dibiase and Hart for sure

I'll be watching.

Stu Hart might be bigger among hardcore wrestling fans, but George and Uecker are far bigger mainstream personalities. They obviously pick the televison inductees based on what the majority wants to see.
The people who care enough about Stu are either there, will buy the DVD, or find it on the internet.

I'll be here.

When are they going to induct Castrol GTX, Slim Jim, and FourFifty?

Better be next year.

I feel like JVC Kaboom Box should go in before FourFifty.

FourFifty has put more money in Vince's wallet than JVC Kaboom Box could ever dream of. I think his next ticket purchase will be the Lugz Boot of the Week

Is it in the same stadium as WM itself?

Yea they sold 80,000 tickets to see Ted Dibiase thank his family and tell road stories

Walker: Texas Ranger has to go in as the best lead-in to RAW ever.

Anybody know where I can score some IcoPro?

Ask Cena.

There's some Joe Rogan stand up on Comedy Central that's over when this starts if anybody's bored.

Don't get me wrong, I loved Uecker at WrestleMania 3 and 4; if WWE insists on a 'Celebrity Wing' for the Hall of Fame, I'm happy he's going in (although, ahead of Mr T? Mike Tyson? Cyndi Lauper? Laurence Taylor? Mayweather? Ray Combs? Trump?)

But let's not lose perspective. The Celebrity wing is a mere token spot. Should anybody be bumped from the telecast of the annual wrestling Hall of Fame inductions, it should be the celebrity inductee.

I think they are predicting a George/Uecker/DiBiase telecast because of the order of proceedings tonight at the venue, but with no live webcast, they could film the evening completely out of order (to spread out the 'big names' and keep the live audience involved) and sort it in the edit before the airing.

Does Gorgeous George really have a higher mainstream status in 2010 than Stu Hart? I'd say they are fairly level.

Neither means much to a casual TV viewer anymore. If Bret Hart, one of wrestlings biggest stars of the 90s, can barely garner a reaction in 2010, why would George fare any better in recognition terms? Yes, I am aware of his impact in the early years of televison but most of his fans/viewers are probably long dead. Gorgeous George won't mean much to the average wrestling fan nor the average TV viewer in 2010. Stu Hart will at least hold some interest to the former.

Well I might tune in just to see the stadium set-up.

Maybe they let Uecker speak on TV on purpose to try and boost DVD sales if anybody REALLY wanted to see another inductee.

I think everyone should watch this while waiting

not doing the first hour on WWE.com this year? wtf?

Were the Thrillseekers heels?

I don't think so. I don't really know for sure since I wasn't around to follow that, and don't really know how I'd go about doing so now.
I've just seen stuff on youtube. I've read Jericho's book, which probably talks more about that but I can't remember.

I doubt they were though, just from their nature. They were like The Rockers

that thrillseekers video is absolutely horrible. jesus, it's worse than jericho makes it sound in his book

HERE WE GO!

Heenan :'(

I read the book too, and I'm pretty sure he said they were faces. I was just making a joke at that video's expense.

lol Triple H was like ":|"

nice tux, king.

Edge and Christian were sitting together, sorta. :eek:

Who are the kids in the front row next to Steph?

Kid Rock should have been booed.

BOOO Kid Rock.

lol the boos for kid.

<font color=goldenrod>lol I love how the heels have to try and stay in character and look pissed off the whole time</font>

EBERSOL!
