First of all, I'd like to hear some examples like I've given on why your point makes sense, since it's the opposite of what can be proven.

Also, since when did "closeness" mean more than the whole respect and professional side of things?
HHH inducted Flair, not Arn.
Austin inducted Bret. They're not close. They respect the shit out of eachother. There are plenty who are closer friends with Bret, but it's about many things.
Flair and Austin are a similar relationship, and both would likely be honored.

Hogan was inducted by Sylvester Stallone for fucks sake.

I stand by Flair being the second or third most probable and logical pick here.

Well, I just hope Zombie Mr. Perfect doesn't go on a rampage after inducting him.

On a side note, The Zombie with the Perfect gimmick would be hilarious.

I think it transcendes "closeness" and goes to a professional level. Flair inducting Austin makes a fuck load of sense for both of them. I agree that JR is probably the top contender. That was never argued. You implied that Flair made no sense. That's untrue.
Please don't shift the argument to JR making "more sense" when it began as Flair making no sense.

The fact of the matter is he makes more sense than anyone else besides maybe Bret, who probably isn't going to be there. It's also a retread of what they already did with Bret.
Flair, in a way, makes more sense than JR because of who he is. I highly doubt JR would feel slighted by this

I don't disagree he's a possibility at all, what I said was that I would assume that Austin will pick his closest friend in the business, Jim Ross. No matter how much of a 'friend' he is to Ric Flair, he is actually close with Ross. Unlike, say, Stallone, Austin and Ross have not just a close personal relationship but a measurable on-screen one too. Just like Flair and Triple H did (more so in recent times than Flair and Arn had).

But Flair left on bad terms with Vince did he not? I would think that that would be the biggest road block on the whole Flair inducting Austin idea.

That is a good point too. I think thats a side issue though since that doesn't mean it makes less sense.

Things can change, especially when it comes to a thing like HOF ceremonies. I think, to some degree, it rises above politics.
I say to some degree because of the bullshit surrounding certain guys like Savage.

Relations change, especially when getting past them means good things. Flair and Vince have been up and down before, just like Austin and Vince have.

I'd bet on JR. I'd place my second bet on Flair. The Rock or Bret make a lot of sense too if it wasn't for the fact that getting them to appear on WWE tv is like trying to catch a bigfoot.

Who are the other more likely candidates?

Ric Flair has a "Legends" contract with WWE doesn't he? I thought he didn't want to limit bookings with the other contract he had after he retired.

We'll probably all get swerved and it will be HHH, even though it makes significantly less sense than any of the names thrown out there.

If I recall, Flair has no real ties to the WWE at this point. I remember them offering him a contract, and him not signing it lead to the bad blood between Flair and Vince.

What is the deal with the controversy about HHH inducting Flair. I think it is well known just how close HHH and Flair became as friends when Flair joined WWE.

I don't think it's controversial. It's a pretty obvious pick if you ask me. The only pick that may have made more sense is Arn, but he isn't as recognizable to tv audiences as HHH.

I don't think Vince McMahon told Ric to have Flair induct him because of marketability, I think Flair wanted Triple H to do it instead of Arn. According to his last DVD, he asked Triple H in a very emotional letter or something of that nature. I still love those NWA World Championship cuff links Triple H bought Flair.

That also goes into the point I was making about the professional level outweighing the personal level. Just because Flair wanted HHH to induct him as a peer doesn't mean he is closer with him than Arn. Just like if Austin wanted Flair to induct him it doesn't mean they're closer than him and JR.

I think I read Flair and Arn don't get on as well as they used to. Something to do with Arn's wife and Flair's ex.

Bret has openly said on record that he is not against the idea of doing anything for the WWE, on television or otherwise, just so long as it in fun and in good spirit and schedule permitting. He won't revisit the screwjob, or any angles with Vince, HBK or HHH, but if it was just something fun he would be open to it. He said they "can always ask".

I think if Steve Austin called Hart and asked him to induct him into the Hall of Fame, Bret would likely say yes, based on the above and the fact that Austin did the same for him.

I still think Austin will choose JR, mind, it's just whether or not WWE agrees to let JR induct him.

Hmm looks like JR will be inducting Cowboy Bill Watts this year instead... that leaves the Steve Austin inductor spot wide open. (Doubt they'd feature JR twice).

For those contesting me earlier, Flair just became a lot more likely. In fact, so did Bret Hart.

I now reckon they'll get some outside Hollywood type to do it though, a la Hogan/Stallone.

The likes of an Adam Sandler or somebody Austin has worked with who is incredibly-credibly famous.

Still think Vince would be the best person to do it, however.

Not Vinnie Jones. That wasn't the Vince I was talking about.

I'm guessing Steve and possibly Shane McMahon will try to get Bret Hart to come and induct Steve.

They used to announce the inductor at the same time as the inductee, until last year (and it seemed that omission was mainly due to bad planning, ie. WWE not knowing who the fuck was going to be inducting anyone until the last second).

I'd only want Rock to be the presenter if Austin returned the favor next year.

They'll probably go all-out stupid, though, and get someone like Hogan.

My money's on JR to induct Austin.

Failing that, I'd like to see a former Diva induct him. You know, someone like Debra
