colonial Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Seeing some talk online that one of this year's WWE HOF inductees will be a referee, which would be the first time a full-time ref would receive the honor. If that's the case, would it be Earl Hebner getting the nod? Going back to Mick Foley saying "one of this year's inductees" wanted to introduce them, I'd have to think Hebner is the choice given his role as referee in so many Attitude Era main events. Others I thought were Mike Chioda (given his longevity in the WWE), Charles Robinson (he'd probably request Flair to induct him) and Danny Davis (who I'd get a kick out of as this year's "novelty induction.")

odessasteps Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 It won't Rita Marie, unless that was part of her settlement. In theory, I'd put Tommy Young in before Hebner, but not if it was the WWE HOF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Given the Hebners got fired for selling WWE merchandise without permission and were part of that concussion lawsuit, I'd be surprised if it was him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Since it seems that they hyping up the "respected by everyone" thing, the only answer I can think of Tim White. Although I actually thought he was already in the Hall of Fame. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Dick Kroll maybe? Headline ref at MSG for decades, third man for countless title matches, even reffed main events in other territories during his salad days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) Tim White was my first thought. They trashed his bar a lot of times for skits and would pay to fix the damage. Given that he passed away last year, might be a big thing for his Family as well. Edited March 21 by Marcel 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twiztor Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) Nick Patrick is my referee GOAT and i would like to see him inducted. if Lawler inducts Kauffmann, i hope he wears that awesome "king" outfit from the Letterman appearance. re: celebrities, i think LT (edit: Lawrence Taylor) and Rodman should both be in if they aren't already.

RIPPA Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 In the new WON - Meltzer confirmed that Lawler had been trying to get Kaufman into the HOF for years Dave figures if Lawler isn't healthy enough to do the induction - it will probably be Jimmy Hart (he also suggested Bill Apter but I can't imagine that will happen) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave is assuming this is the person Mick Foley is inducting (Dave did make sure to say he wasn't reporting that but giving his guess) she's just reappeared on social media for the first time in years the last few days. good timing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
