Sammartino's HOF announcement was covered by ESPN.
Foley's wasn't. That simple. |

And it'd get the same amount of coverage if he's on first or last.

Do people actually think Bruno Sammartino didn't make sure he'd be the "marquee" HOF inductee before agreeing to be inducted? You don't think he covered all his bases?

Just in case anyone still has any doubts in regards to Sammartino headlining this class:
http://espn.go.com/blog/playbook/fan...rtino-into-hof As for trying to keep the announcement a secret, “it’s not ‘Mission Impossible’ or anything like that,” Levesque says, laughing. “But to me, Bruno getting into the Hall of Fame in Madison Square Garden is the biggest induction we’ve ever done, and rightfully so. He deserves that. So to just have it leak out there, that would’ve been wrong. This is a huge moment in time, and a massive moment for our fans, for Bruno and for WWE. This is the history of our business. Without Bruno Sammartino, we aren’t where we are today.” |

Sammartino
Mainly because of the location for this year's Hall and in terms of overall importance. |

Sammartino should headline the show itself, but I have a feeling that he'll get second-rate treatment on the airing and have Foley as the main attraction for ratings.

So if Vince says the wrong thing Bruno could leave. Probably should have had Vince and Bruno meet BEFORE announcing this.

It will be Bruno, but it shouldn't be. If he had his way WWE would have been ended years ago. If it weren't for his tie with Bret for the most butt-hurt wrestler in history he'd have been in years ago, and he should have been. The fact that he had to get his dick sucked off in order to agree to it is pretty damn sad, really.

Yeah, hopefully Vince interrupts Bruno's speech and jizzes in his eyes.

I wonder if Bruno will be on-hand at WrestleMania when the HOF'ers are presented.
The crowd reaction is gonna be crazy. |

Well, I do know he can still bench press 250lbs at over 70 years of age. I just saw it on YouTube. Search "Bruno Sammartino workout".
Dude even takes his shirt off lol. |

Something just occurred to me,you don't think that there is some angle with CM Punk's title run and being compared to Bruno/

Bruno should definitely be the headliner.
He was a MAJOR star in New York. I am really glad he is finally going into the HOF. I would like to see possibly Stan Hansen induct him. they had a tremendous feud in WWE. |

HOF isn't really for casual fans, it's about celebrating history. So it doesn't matter if Foley's the bigger star now, Who's gonna watch the ceremony all the way through anyway? Only diehard fans I bet.

Bruno and Backlund held the title a combined 6178 days. Nuts.

Nobody cares about Mexico.
WWWF primarily did all their business in the New York area. That being said, Beth82 is a dress wearing fag whose parents hate her |

Foley was announced first, and made far more money for WWE. When it comes to selling tickets, Foley headlining will sell them, not that Bruno wouldn't, but mainstream fans will go nuts for Foley.
Also, Foley is from New York. The story about going to see Snuka at MSG jumping off the cage will make for a great reminiscent moment during his speech (since the ceremony is at MSG, I think). |

Either way, this will probably be the most exciting induction ceremony. I hope the fans don't go too crazy and distract from the event though.
