I think it's too soon for Shawn. I have a feeling they might wait it out until Nash leaves the trash known as TNA and then do some sort of clique themed HOF.

Owen Hart is a no go due to Martha Hart.

Vince will not put in a wrestler who has never worked for him or jobbed to HHH, so Sting is out.

Since it's in Atlanta Vince will likely have it be WCW centered:
1) DDP
2) Arn Anderson
3) Vader
4) Bill Goldberg
5) They'll probably also acknowledge Jim Crockett
6) Ron Simmons
I highly HIGHLY doubt the E would do a clique themed induction ceremony. Highly.

Nash and Vince have a decent relationship. Hunter is his son in law and Shawn was the son/ manlover Vince never had. If those three wanted it to happen it would happen. Hell if Hunter alone wanted it to happen it would happen.

Of course HBK should go in, and it's only a matter of time before he does, but why would he go in with all WCW guys? If it's a WCW-themed year, it should be ALL WCW guys.

Right, but you don't think, after EVERYTHING Shawn has been through with the company and Vince, they wouldn't want him to go in by his self? I just see him being the headliner to get inducted, and I dont think the E would allow anything else to take place because of it.

Shawn could definitely headline by himself... but I'd be willing to bet WWE could sell out an arena rather than a banquette hall if it was clique themed. And as far as ratings go, most people would probably watch the whole show if it was clique themed rather than DVR it so they could watch it later and fast forward it to Shawn's speech.

If they did clique themed it would really just be Razor, HBK and Nash right? I doubt Xpac is going in, and Trips isnt finished yet. It just seems like, while the hardcore fan knows who the Kliq is, the new generation doesn't really, and won't identify it, whereas, with Shawn, EVERYONE will identify, and EVERYONE will tune in.

I dont know, I just think Shawn is going to be a headliner for the HoF and the E won't let there be any "themes" to over shadow it, especially if it seems somewhat forced.

I think you're a little off base with your idea that the "hardcore" fans would be the only people able to identify. It's the equivalent WWE not bringing Bret Hart back because the new generation never saw him wrestle. If the fans know about the Monday Night Wars and the NWO... which they do... then they know what Hall and Nash accomplished. And for the 9 year old Cena marks... one video package of Shawn and Diesel; Shawn and Razor's ladder matches; the Madison Square Garden "Incident"; and then Hall and Nash popping up in WCW would be enough.

You're absolutely right in that Shawn will likely go in by himself, from a viewer's perspective I think them going in together would be more entertaining and likely benefit WWE more than them going in separate.

I disagree that it would benefit WWE more, only because Michaels and Hunter are two that need to headline. If you combine them, you get one big year instead of two big years. Put Hall and Nash in with one or the other, but Michaels and Hunter need to be separate just from a headliner perspective.

This wouldn't have been a problem if WWE didn't blow a lot of guys in the first few years of the HOF coming back.

I feel you, but we know Bret Hart by name. How often is the Kliq referenced by name? Of course I personally would LOVE that, but Shawns gotta headline, and on top of that, it just doesn't seem plausible in the E nowadays. Maybe 8 years ago but not now.
