Anybody else think one of these days at the HOF ceremony that a inductee is gonna cut a promo on Vince?
Lol it's a weird thought, but it's pro wrestling and it wouldn't surprise me if a guy like Warrior, or last year if Backlund or Bruno went up there and just shit on the WWE and McMahon.

Could see it being someone 'lower down' trying to generate an angle. Or Flair after a few drinks.

I don't think it would even have to be worked to get turned into an angle, I think Vince is smart enough to make it one to deflect what was said.
Cornette for sure though. |

Backlund is crazy enough to do it, and Bruno hates Vince Jr so it wouldn't have surprised me if either of them did it.

If they ever induct Owen or the Hart Foundation I can see someone going off script there.

Austin should cut a promo on Vince whenever they decide to put Vince in, but it won't be anything like what you want.

This gave me the idea..they should do Roasts of legends on the network where they could pull the kind of stuff you're talking about "for laughs "

It's unfortunate Cornette will never go in. That would be amazing.

Cornette said he would go in if the Midnights were. Id be willing to bet if Jim were asked regardless that he'd say yes.

I highly doubt they would ask him though. He doesn't seem to have a good relationship with any of the higher ups in the company, has talked a ton of shit, left on bad terms and probably isn't viewed as important enough to try to mend fences with for an induction ala Bruno and the Warrior.

Seems to have a good relationship with Vince. Lol definitely not with Kevin Dunn, but neither does Paul Bearer and he's going in this year. Big John isn't really around anymore, so it's mainly Dunn.

Don't forget Laurinaitis. I guess most of my idea that he and Vince don't get along comes from Cornette's disdain for what Vince has done with wrestling over recent years. He's talked a lot of shit about Triple H directly though, too.

That's what I meant when I said "Big John", although I don't think he has as big a role with the company. A lot of people have talked with about HHH. The company seems to be putting bad blood behind them lately. |

Nah. And they'd pretty much be a giant idiot for doing it. And it would never make the broadcast.

Wait...are you implying that some prowrestlers are in the habit of making bad decisions? Decisions that might be detrimental to their careers or even their lives?

I dunno, no more than your average profession. Certainly a lot more dickheads around given it's an ego driven business. Which would play into your theory. Just feel like guys that get put in are either already on good terms or are guys that are grateful to be placed back in the spotlight one more time. Daresay some even think it may propel them towards that vaunted "one last run". And they aren't going to jeopardize that. Besides, the HOF really seems to mean something to most of the guys that get put in.

Most for sure. I imagine the guy who sold his ring on ebay was an outlier, but yeah.
Honestly, now that I think Hart/McMahon was a work, it's really hard for me to see Vince as a bad guy and I wonder how many other people had a good working relationship that supposedly did not. Except Jarrett, pretty sure they hate each other. |

I'm not saying it couldn't happen, more it would just take a really special brand of dickhead. I'd say the guys most likely to do it are guys that don't stand a chance of getting near the HOF as is. And even most of those would soon change their tune once Vinnie Mac came calling. The guys that talk all the shit tend to be the ones that are bitter and never "made it" for one reason or another. Billy Jack Haynes for example isn't going into any kind of HOF any time soon.

I was always kind of puzzled by Honky Tonk Man's friendship with Raven. I never recall them really working together, so it just always struck me as strange.

I know Backlund isn't wired like everyone else, but is there a reason people think he might have gone nuts on Vince? I've never heard of any heat there.

Specifically BECAUSE he isn't wired right and might have started saying shit Vince doesn't want said. As wrestling fans and internet junkies we know some of what has gone on backstage in the past but I would guess that is just the tip of the iceberg and a huge reveal would start a media circus
