Thank You Hogan, but if you were not there, Thank you Savage. The elbowdrop is so much cooler than the leg drop.
What about thank you Piper? Awesome mic skills, he was years ahead of his time. How come he didn't fued with Andre the Giant?
And why was Hacksaw the first man to knock out Andre?
Hogan did not make the buisness... Vince made it, with a little help from the fans.

I agree with some of this. Sure, Hogan did a lot for the business, but the business did a lot for Hogan. Sure, Hogan helped to make Vince, but Vince helped to make Hogan. Hogan could never have done it without Vince, but Vince could have done without Hogan because he could have easily picked someone else. So what does Hogan do? Instead of thanking the McMahons, he stands there all that time and lets the people chant his name
He should have started talking, and the people would have stopped. (Hasn't anyone else here seen Bob Barker on The Price is Right?) And NO, I don't think "Rambo" should have inducted Hogan, because I think it's a slap in the face to all the other wrestlers? What, none of the wrestlers Hogan worked with were good enough to induct him???? And yeah, I think the other wrestlers were slapped in the face because there inductions weren't televised. It's like saying, "thanks, but you're not good enough to be shown on tv." And to the person who said Orndorff is in bad shape, that's why he didn't stand up, are you sure about that????? When Stallone first came out, everyone stood except Orton and Orndorff. I was happy they didn't. Then when Hogan started hugging all the other guys (which, by the way, Piper and The Sheik have never said one good about Hogan, who WTF?) Orndorff again remained seated. Maybe Orndorff was pissed for being overlooked.
