Should feel like this should be a few more years before this happens. Kinda fell like Taker should retire and be the one to headline next year. Also, how long before The Rock finally goes in?

That's really odd. Like Owen said, should probably be a few more years.

Surprised WWE isn't waiting until GOTG Vol 3 so they can leech off his media attention.

Avengers 3 will be out in May 2018 and the GOTG are in it ^^

Seems way too soon for Batista to go in, but it's the WWE, so I'm not gonna get upset about it.

Am I upset? Nope, like the guy. Am I surprised? Fuck yes.

If this means no more Batista returns I'm all for it.

They'll be out of main eventers soon enough.


Also, everyone of note goes in. It's meaningless.

Edge went in to the HoF, like 5 min after he retired.

Eddie too.

Yeah, great riterement on his part.

Well it was final

Meh. You get 1 last promo basically. It's meaningless but fun.

I hope he says in his speech "I would have won the belt here a few years ago if it weren't for that pesky Daniel Bryan"

"I was gonna get that belt, and I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for this meddling Daniel Bryan"

Daniel: "Dooobie doobie Dooooo"

Man, such a good spelling.

If you take the time to spellcheck your posts on here or fbook frankly I assume you lead a very unporductive life

... Is Taker retired or not?!? lol

That still being in question is the only way Batista going in before him makes sense.

I think Titus Worldwide will sign him and convince him to wrestle again.

Wonder if he would accept the invitation, at least the first time, considering he's been very vocal against the WWE since his last run and hates some important people there.

Ehh not sure he HATES them, at least not enough to not accept the bid.

They may as well put everyone in the HoF then

Why do they out so many people in every year, surely 4 living individuals and a legacy person would be enough?

I agree, I feel they add too many people every year and it diminishes the value.

Now they're doing token anual women inductions as well. Even though there are only...maybe 6 worthy female canidates...

(15-20 years that will change)

The class of 2038 will be headlined by TJP

Can't believe they haven't inducted Martin Luther King Jr in the WWE HOF yet

My biggest problem is the "legacy" wing.

"These guys aren't marketable to our current audience, so let's just lumb them all together in a 10 second induction instead of giving them the respect thy deserve, because this is all just a sales gimmick anyway."

Ol' Fignuts "at it again"!

Where it all begins...again

According to WrestleTalk, WWE are ready to give Rock or Undertaker the headline spot over Batista if they ask for it.

lol If they ask for it.

Wonder if they would put me in if I asked......

Worked for Drew Carey.

Been like that for years with Taker going back to the HBK series I think. Came close to happening with Mania 32 since it was near his hometown but Taker decided to wrestle instead so it got saved for a future year.

Of the short list of retired guys who could be legit HOF headliners (Henry, UT, Rocky, JBL??) Big Dave makes as much sense as anybody.

Rock and Taker definitely make more sense than him.
