LooseCannon Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Who would be a good minority candidate if they stick to the recent trend of inducting at least one non-white person each year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Casey Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Is Eddie the only Guerrero in the Hall? EDIT: An argument could be made for Muta, too, if he isn't already inducted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Butch Reed 1. Mid south alumni 2. Can be inducted by ron simmons 3. Post wrestling success (in rodeo, admittedly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Who would be a good minority candidate if they stick to the recent trend of inducting at least one non-white person each year? Kamala would be a pick if not for his health (he had a leg amputated) They could always induct Tenryu to lure Japanese media to New Orleans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I think I heard Kamala has had both legs amputated by now. I hope not, but I could have sworn I saw that on a random F4w update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I wonder how much Japanese press the Inoki induction got last year... Thought Kamala got both amputated as well. Sad. Sad too is that list of dead guys that probably won't get in. I mean c'mon, Thesz isn't in? Bam Bam, Bossman, freakin' Rick Rude? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Teddy Long will be the first referee inducted. he ref'd for both WCW and WWF and was also a manager, GM, and whatever else his multi-decade career has included. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Z Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Now would be the the perfect time to induct Dennis Rodman into the celebrity wing for his time in the nWo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Oh and one would assume Trish is inducting Lita since they are legit best friends. Lita was supposed to induct Trish until Steph stepped in. Pretty sure Trish mentioned requesting Stephanie last year. I've just always assumed that since Savage possibly will never go in, that Liz won't either. I mean, if Liz got inducted, as pissed as people are about Savage not being in, it seems like it would be silly to show the video package that is nothing but footage of her with Savage. Savage and Liz will go in together eventually. Its just a matter of whether or not WWE waits for Lanny Poffo to die or who breaks on Poffo's negotiation terms first.

Ace Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I don't think it really is that much an issue inducting Angelo and Lanny. They inducted Chris Von Erich, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Ah, apparently the way it went was that Trish's website picked Lita and Trish then said that would be a great choice or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldcupfever Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 This would also help with Hogans rumored arrival for Wrestlemania. He would almost have to be the one to induct her.The only other one I can think of is Piper. With rumors of his being at Raw in two weeks, I'm wondering if Jimmy Hart doesn't induct her. He seems to show up anywhere there's discussion of rock'n'wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Cibernetico Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Lita is a puzzling choice for me. Post 1995 a case can be made for Trish, Sunny, Chyna, and Sable. No one else. No other female aside from Stephanie Mcmahon has had a bigger impact on WWE than the mentioned 4. Lita got away with being bad for a VERY long time. 100% not HOF worthy.

L_W_P Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Yeah when most of my friends talk about 'chick' wrestling the two names that always come up are Trish and Lita. Crazy over with the crowd as a face or heel, deemed good enough to main event Raw and was half of the biggest rivalry in modern womens wrestling. HoF worthy for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEN! Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 The induction ceremony airing live means pure unadulterated destrucity for the mere mortals. I hope Warrior doesn't mistake Mick Foley for Santa Claus and try to rape him. Lita (and Trish Stratus) are responsible for inspiring most of the current generation of yaks to get into wrestling. For better or worse. Kind of a random choice for New Orleans though. James Dudley running Turner's probably consisted of him delivering the box office receipts to Vince, Sr. at the end of the night. Just a loyalty induction. Kamala did get both legs amputated. Koko Ware got him a scooter Koko should've put a stereo system on it so Kamala can bump that Push It when people see him rolling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallacy! Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'm starting to lose hope for a crazy Warrior rant at the HOF. He's been super weird on Twitter lately, like congratulating Lita and Jake for their inductions and shit. Vince must be paying him a boatload to stay in line for this thing.
