Future Hall of Famers...
 
Simple Question really. What guys currently on the roster do you see making the HOF besides the obvious Rock, Cena, HHH, and Undertaker? Do you guys see anyone else who has a shot? Punk? Brock? Kane? Maybe Rey?

Blatantly, but should be in this thread.

From his WCW days to now, he still is the man on the mic and in the ring.

Bonus pic from RAW babayyyyyyy

Corndad 04-24-2013 01:33 PM

How the hell did I forget Jericho lol He's gotta be a definite too.

Corporate CockSnogger 04-24-2013 01:55 PM

Every single person you mentioned in your opening post. They'll all go in. As well as a bunch of others like Mark Henry, Big Show, Orton, probably Sheamus as well at some point. Maybe even a few lower card guys like Regal.

Hard to judge on the rest really because someone could go from Bradshaw to JBL in a really short time and cement themselves a place.

Rammsteinmad 04-24-2013 01:57 PM

Quite a lot of them have the potential to be honest. CM Punk, Chris Jericho, Kane, Undertaker, Rey Mysterio, Triple H, John Cena, Randy Orton, Daniel Bryan, Sheamus, Mark Henry, Christian... some sooner than others of course.

Rammsteinmad 04-24-2013 01:57 PM

I kinda wanna see Charles Robinson go in some day as well. :yes:

Cool King 04-24-2013 02:00 PM

I've been thinking of making a thread about this for some time but with including alumni too.

But not thinking about The Rock, John Cena, Triple H and Undertaker, for me on the current roster, and thinking about what they've achieved up until now, I can see these guys going into the Hall of Fame in the future.

Big Show
Brock Lesnar
Chris Jericho
Christian
CM Punk
JBL
Kane
Mark Henry
Paul Heyman
Randy Orton
Rey Mysterio
The Great Khali (Only because of his size)
Sheamus
William Regal

There are some guys on the current roster that, if they continue being used the way they have been recently, I think will be future Hall of Famers.

Alberto Del Rio (If he becomes World Champion a few more times)
Cody Rhodes (If he has many memorable IC/US Title reigns)
Daniel Bryan (See Alberto Del Rio)
Dolph Ziggler (See Alberto Del Rio)
Jack Swagger (I don't know what he's go to do but I just get "that feeling" about him)
Kofi Kingston (If he remains a face while winning titles, à la Ricky Steamboat)
The Miz (See Alberto Del Rio)
Ryback (See Jack Swagger)
Wade Barrett (If he becomes World Champion or has many memorable IC/US Title reigns)

If we're talking about referees then Mike Chioda is a shoo-in.

The Jayman 04-24-2013 02:10 PM

I see Michael Cole going in as well

Mike Chioda has never (to my knowledge) wrestled on PPV. :roll:

Not on PPV, no.

But he has wrestled on SmackDown, teaming with future Hall of Famers The Rock and Chris Jericho. ;)

Emperor Smeat 04-24-2013 04:02 PM

Potential Headliners:
Brock Lesnar
Jericho
Orton
Rey Mysterio
CM Punk

Potential Regular Inductees:
Alberto Del Rio
Big Show
Daniel Bryan
JBL
Kane
Sheamus


Everyone else worthy is either borderline or still have a lot of time left to build up their HoF stardom potential.

Hanso Amore 04-24-2013 04:48 PM

Depends on who doesnt burn a bridge.

The thing with the WWE HOF is that plenty of guys who deserve to be in arent, and plenty will go i nthat dont.

I love Regal. Hes Great. But for him to ever make it would be a joke when treating the HOF as "legitimate".

The real answer is whomever the can get to show up and sell tickets.

Wishbone 04-24-2013 05:21 PM

Hanso's got the idea. Essentially anyone could and probably will go into the HoF at some point. It's just a selling point and a nod to people who WWE deems worthy or whatever. I mean Edge was a prime candidate to one day be a hall of famer, but him getting in when he did was bullshit when guys like Savage aren't yet.

Vastardikai 04-24-2013 05:25 PM

He may be a lowly Producer at this point, but one could make a very serious case for Finlay.

Wishbone 04-24-2013 05:28 PM

Didn't Finlay get fired because of some bullshit with Miz pissing off the marines?

The Whole F'n Show 04-24-2013 05:39 PM

Maybe it it just too blatantly obvious, what about vince mcmahon? Definitely agree with jericho, more from his AJPW and ECW days than his wcw days though. Probably paul heyman too, also savage, rick rude, lilian garcia, kane, regal, mysterio, big show, ddp, jbl, joey styles, ziggles...

Yeah, he made it so The Miz would interrupt the national anthem at a house show to get more heat.

Cool King 04-24-2013 05:44 PM

But Finlay is back though.

No it wouldn't. The guy has been around for decades and has always been stellar at what he does and he's got some nice kayfabe accomplishments to go with it. He's not a headliner or anything but how would him going in as a second tier inductee be a joke?

Bobo 04-24-2013 06:26 PM

Those on the current roster (including part-timers):

John Cena, Triple H, The Rock, Undertaker, CM Punk, Chris Jericho,..............possibly Kane, possibly Rey Mysterio, not sure about Brock Lesnar.

Christian maybe as part of The Brood or as an Edge and Christian Tag Team.

Michael Cole, Paul Heyman for his ECW work, Teddy Long.

Vince McMahon himself one day perhaps when he either completely steps down or eventually passes on.

William Regal perhaps. Maybe Vickie Guerrero one day. None of the Divas are worth inclusion except maybe AJ because of her memorable storylines otherwise the rest including my beloved Kaitlyn haven't really done anything memorable but that's not their fault.

Lillian Garcia because of the fact she was the first or one of the first female announcers?

Bobo 04-24-2013 06:27 PM

Charles Robinson as far as referees are concerned............

Not the first, no, as Mike McGuirk was the first.

Though I do agree about Lillian going into the Hall of Fame someday.

Next Big Thing 04-24-2013 07:08 PM

Is Mark Henry the third longest tenured guy on the roster after HHH and Taker? I never would have thought he'd be around for as long as he has.

Cool King 04-24-2013 07:30 PM

Well Henry joined the WWF in 1996. Kane has been with the company since 1995 but from then until 1997, he went under the names of Isaac Yankem and "Diesel".

My mom actually dated Mike Chioda for awhile... Thought you'd like to know that. Got me free tickets to Hell in the Cell, and a lot of merchandise

The Condor 04-24-2013 07:37 PM

Current guys like Rey yeah. Big Show, Kane, Jericho and Orton are no brainers. I definitely see Del Rio and Christian as future inductees as well as legends such as DDP and hopefully the Steiners.

Which Hell in a Cell?

Heath Slater

CWK 04-24-2013 11:03 PM

Good thread...

I actually would like to see Jim Johnston in the Hall of Fame. He's been with the company since the 1980's and he's written and composed so many memorable theme songs for the wrestlers over the years. He definitely deserves it.

Also think that Andre the Giant deserves to be re-inducted. He never got a formal ceremony with someone inducting him and the video package, etc. as far as I know all he got was an announcement on RAW in 1993 and he deserves way more than that IMO.

2 years ago? In New Orleans

seapig4 04-25-2013 09:46 AM

Do you think Sting will ever be in it?

Cool King 04-25-2013 10:00 AM

Good question.

Even though I'm not really that big on Sting, I still think he should eventually go in. It's just up to him if he says yes or not.

I get the feeling he won't accept while he's still alive as it's the "WWE Hall of Fame" and not just "Professional Wrestling's Hall of Fame". I've always gotten a feeling from him that he doesn't like the WWE at all, so I don't think he'll accept.

When the time comes that he's no longer around though, then I think maybe he will be inducted posthumously, with his children giving the yes to it happening.

Scottness89 04-26-2013 09:48 AM

BATISTA!!!
Kurt Angle
RVD

....just to name a few

Mongo Lloyd 04-26-2013 01:35 PM

who would induct sting? fellow Jesus freak hbk?

The Jayman 04-26-2013 01:48 PM

Ric Flair?

Bad News Gertner 04-26-2013 02:49 PM

Bo Dallas without a doubt.
