They won't have so many dead guys in one ceremony. People want to see the recipients accept their award. Even though deceased legends should be recognised, I doubt you'd see more than two dead wrestlers inducted in any one year. My money is on Pillman and Hawk (along with Animal) for this years.

The Detroit papers in the area have already mentioned that The Original Sheik is almost guaranteed in the HOF.

Yeah, I was thinking the exact thing. They'll probably limit it to two dead wrestlers and have someone except the award for them.

Okay, I gotta say this.
As much as I loved to see Owen and The Bulldog, no, don't put them in the hall of fame. Yes, it'll be a nice draw because the people love them, but they didn't do anything to break any new ground in wrestling, and they weren't the best drawing wrestlers in their prime. For Owen, putting him in the hall of fame would just be a draw for ratings. For Davey Boy, if it's done right a way to help get Harry Smith over.

But why hasn't anyone mentioned Stone Cold Steve Austin? Biggest draw for WWE at the time, multi time champ, might still have a great match or two left in him, and is without a shadow of a doubt one of the best prefromers to hit the ring in a good 10 years. How many other people have had a fued with HBK, Bret Hart, Triple H, The Rock, Mick Foley, Vince, Kurt Angle, and other great wrestlers?
If only one person could get into the Hall Of Fame this year, my vote would be for Stone Cold Steve Austin... And just to do a little throwback...

And that's the bottom line, 'cuz Stone Cold said so!

Plenty of people have mentioned Stone Cold, FourFifty.

What about John "Earthquake" Tenta on a long shot?

Two people. When I scanned the thread I looked for Steve, and Stone, but not Austin. I would have re-worded myself if I saw that people have said Austin.

People currently in the Hall Of Fame:

Vince McMahon Snr.'s chauffeur James Dudley
Andre the Giant's "handler" Arnie Skaaland
Mid carder Baron Scicluna
Jobber Johnny Rodz
Boring midcard squash boy Tito Santana
Abysmal xenophobia profiteer Nikolai Volkoff
Baseballer Pete Rose
Footballer William Perry.

You saying Owen and Davey Boy don't belong on THAT list??

Well the WWE hall of fame isn't exactly the baseball hall of fame in terms of how elite it is. Based on who they've been inducting, it makes me wonder what wrestlers from the attitude and current eras won't be deserving.

They should come up with a system for induction thats more regimented.

Like,
Main Eventer (Hogan, Bret)
Main Eventer (Piper, Guerrero)
Personality (mean gene, jimmy hart)
Celbrity
Tag Team or 2 singles wrestlers

"Main Eventer" is a pretty opinionated standard. What, exactly, would indicate that someone is a main eventer? Amount of actual main events? Title runs? Feuds?

For example, I wouldn't consider Mr. Perfect a main eventer, but he deserves to be in the HOF. Same with Ted DiBiase.

I'd just leave that open as "wrestler".

Ted DiBiase was a main eventer, and was then slowly phased down the card to a midcarder position. If you watched WWF in 1988 you would have considered DiBiase a major star. If you started watching in 1992 you would have considered him a tag team jobber.

Basically, Xero's right. Cena is a main eventer right now. In 5 years time he may be an opening match act. Hennig was a main eventer in the AWA, and also in WWF 89-91. At the end of his career he was a glorified jobber. Doesn't mean he shouldn't be in the HOF, for match quality alone.

To me Pillman was an innovator, and was the first to bring the "Attitude/Extreme" style to a big promotion in the Monday Night Wars, long before Steve Austin. Even though it didn't catapult Pillman himself to superstardom, his influence is still felt to this day in a lot of what you see each Monday/Friday night.

Reckon Ron Simmons will go into the Hall of Fame? If he does, it will probably be Bradshaw's doing, and he'd induct him.

If you want to predict who's going into the Hall, follow the Bobby Heenan trail. He's brought the house down now for three years in a row, he's almost a lock to show up again. The question is simply who will he induct?
