Potential HoF candidates for 2016?
 
Undertaker with it being in Texas and likely to be his final match.

Possibly Sting as well but it depends on whether or not he will want to call it a day then too (if he hasn't done so already).



Celebrity wing: If he wins next weekend and given his association with WWE and Triple H, surely Floyd Mayweahter has to go in?

Muhammad Ali and Liberace should be in there but the former probably wouldn't be able to attend the ceremony due to ill health and the latter's "lifestyle" might be at odds with the whole PG-era?



Other candidates: Stacy Keibler, Ivory, Beth Phoenix, Victoria.


Personal picks: British Bulldog, Owen Hart, Sid Eudy, DDP,


Longshots: Goldberg (the man just doesn't have any friends left in the business), Christian (I don't think he is retired), Kurt Angle (if he left TNA and signed a legends contract), Rey Mysterio (would be deserving but given his current relationship with WWE, unlikely), Chris Jericho, and Michael Cole.


Finally; Tazz Dan (because he's a God), Posthumously for Susan G Koeman (because of the fact they support her charity).

Fignuts 04-24-2015 10:57 PM

Bull mother fucking Nakano

Also, Bam Bam Bigelow

Simple Fan 04-24-2015 11:04 PM

Agree with Bam Bam and DDP. NWO probably go in next year.

Emperor Smeat 04-24-2015 11:04 PM

Muhammad Hassan.

WWE went overboard once they transitioned his gimmick from a somewhat obnoxious guy preaching about discrimination and America being hypocrites to acting terrorist-like with threats and antics.

Bad News Gertner 04-24-2015 11:07 PM

Ron Wright

DAMN iNATOR 04-24-2015 11:07 PM

As hilarious and entertaining as it was, Lance Storm should never have been turned into a party boy.

True enough, but I still think they could have done something to avoid airing or ever letting come to light the segment that aired 7/7/2005. They should have known a simple disclaimer hastily added in post-production wouldn't be enough to not get certain people offended by how it came off. If they could have found something, ANYTHING else to fill that time, there's a good chance he would've stuck around for quite a while.

Tazz Dan is caping for them.

There's also a WWE live event coming soon in June I believe so it seems I am being spoilt for choice.

Would be keen to see what NXT is all about though people here seem to love but I never really got into it and would only tune in before the live broadcast of Raw would being back in the UK.

Jazzy Foot 04-25-2015 01:01 AM

Who moved my HOF thread? I thought it was an interesting thread.

Not like it was John Cena the lovechild of Vince or something stupid not related to an interesting debate or tits.

Shisen Kopf 04-25-2015 01:22 AM

Bobby Jaggers, Ron Wright, That dude who had to retire from CHW and the Muppets

Jazzy Foot 07-08-2015 10:30 PM

Thought I should revive this.

My ideal candidates would be:

Undertaker and Sting (assuming WM 32 is their last or they're already done).

British Bulldog

Owen Hart (the two are unlikely to go in together)

Vader

One of Ivory or Stacy Keibler. Would like to say Beth Phoenix or Victoria but the former has only retired in the short-term (i.e. give it a few more years) the other was hardly that big of a star in the WWE but nevertheless seems popular.

Harlem Heat as a tag team.

Possibly NWO as a faction.


Celeb wing: dream choice is Muhammad Ali but I assume they must have considered him previously but didn't induct him for a specific reason. Perhaps they feel it would take the spotlight away from a marquee induction i.e. having Ali appear at any event is THE highlight.

Liberace would be a good candidate too given his role at WM 1 and also would be appropriate given it would be within a year of the whole legalisation of gay marriage in the US thing etc.

Jazzy Foot 07-08-2015 10:34 PM

Also I believe the founder of Susan G Koeman Foundation (her mother) passed away recently so she might be a candidate for the Warrior award.

Goes without saying our buddy Tazz Dan deserves to be in there too.


Will be a very interesting 2016 HOF.


On another note given how engaged WWE are with social networking etc, it would be great if the fans had a role/say in who should be inducted.


I still find it silly how Rikishi (though a good guy) is in the HoF ahead of Bulldog, Owen, Sid, heck even Goldberg.

I also think it might be time to recognise JBL and Michael Cole for their services. The latter in recent times I feel has really become "the voice of the WWE", sure never a replacement for JR or King but he deserves some recognition.

James Steele 07-08-2015 11:12 PM

The Freebirds
Stan Hansen
Sting
Brian Pillman
Vader
Sid Vicious
Wahoo McDaniel
DDP

James Steele 07-08-2015 11:13 PM

Barry Windham got inducted with the Horsemen didn't he? They could do Dory Funk Sr.

Jazzy Foot 07-08-2015 11:23 PM

Pillman yes. Has Terry Funk been inducted?

Yes. With Dory in the WWE HoF Class of 2008.

James Steele 07-09-2015 03:55 AM

Terry definately should have gotten his own induction, and Dory too.

Blonde Moment 07-09-2015 04:00 AM

Ted Turner

Just as much right as Pete Rose.

Cool King 07-09-2015 10:10 AM

I don't think Undertaker and Sting will be inducted at the same time.

Both are huge names and are obviously going to be the headline for the ceremony.

So if we're talking possibilities, then as it's Texas, I think Undertaker will be inducted next year, and the next time WrestleMania is in Georgia, it'll be Sting.

I can't remember where I read it, but I read somewhere that Georgia is a possible contender for WrestleMania 34 or 35 or whatever.

Isn't Scott Steiner with GBF now?

I think it makes ineligible.

The Condor 07-09-2015 10:46 AM

He also wants to murder the Hulkster, but they are deserving.

James Steele 07-09-2015 10:58 AM

DX

Jazzy Foot 07-09-2015 01:54 PM

I can't see the Steiners being inducted together or individually in the near future given Scott Steiner's beef with Hogan.

Lex Luger is tricky as some will say he is deserving for winning the WCW title twice and other achievements but his achievements weren't that great and any argue he was incredibly overrated.

Completely overlooked the Big Bossman.

Eric Bischoff....what's his relationship with the WWE like these days?

How about Miss Elizabeth? Do you think she is worthy of an induction?

Anybody Thrilla 07-09-2015 02:16 PM

Liz should have gone in with Savage. I think the ship for her has sailed now, unfortunately.

Anybody Thrilla 07-09-2015 02:17 PM

Same story hurts Luger's chances as well. Remember when Triple H was talking about Chyna probably not going in because kids will Google search her checkered past? I feel like many will be overlooked because of that line of thinking.

Oh god, you just had to mention Chyna's porn career.

Where's a barf emoticon when you need one?

Anybody Thrilla 07-09-2015 02:23 PM

:drool:

That's like barfing saliva, sorta. Probably not the appropriate reaction to Chyna's porn, though.
