If they are honoring people from Mania 1, let's start the push for Buddy Rose. 

He’s in the legacy wing already.

Now that Rotundo and Ali are getting in, the only people left from Wrestlemania I not already in the HoF are:

  • King Kong Bundy
  • David Sammartino
  • Cyndi Lauper
  • Leilani Kai
  • Billy Martin
  • Matt Borne

Bundy isn't in? That's crazy. He seems like a no-brainer for a WWE Hall of Fame. Is there something bad between him and the company?

It is weird. It's not like he didn't have an impactful career, and he main-evented the very next year!

I also forgot to include Matt Borne in the list of participants not inducted.

Think we'll ever see Misawa and Kobashi in the WWE HOF?

No one who died due something that happened in a non-WWE ring would get in. They don’t want people associating that with them.

I could have seen them put in Iron Mike DiBiase in the mass induction category, before the DiBiase Family Mississippi Scandal.

I heard a story once that Bundy was (1985 adjusted term) a last minute switch for the Mania 2 main event and it was originally supposed to be Hogan vs. Bruiser Brody.  

Any truth to that?

No that’s internet urban legend. Brody wasn’t ever close to coming in during that time period. The WM2 main event would have been either Bundy or Savage against Hogan. Thankfully they held off on Macho Man as it gave us the much better MegaPowers Explode!

Genichiro Tenryu should be in the WWE HOF.

He did once stuff Chinese food into Heenan’s face on Prime Time.

The guy who ripped up and threw on the ground a script handed to him by Stephanie McMahon, and was physically removed from the venue he was booked to perform at as a result?

On the other hand, they [VKM] did eventually induct Bruno and Billy Graham, so anyone is possible.

and they had Sabu and RVD induct Ed Farhat..

I've seen that resurface, recently. Now Brody seemed to want the big payday with Hogan and would have been prevented from doing a job.

I also wonder if it was ever considered to do the final blow off of Piper v Hogan in the cage at WM2

The guy in that post on Reddit that was mentioned on the previous page of this thread. 100% so far.

Insert joke about Ole not being able to do the induction.

Perfect reason to share this classic!
