Pete Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Just watch the audience on their SummerSlam 1994 match and compare that to everything the divas produced in the last years. It's like night and day. They wanted to see them FIGHT! I was at that live. Crowd was... sort of into it. They popped for Bull's stuff and my buddy Brian and I were into it but overall the match wasn't that over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Apparently Meltzer said in the most recent WON that Ray Stevens is not going in this year because basically the old "only one dead person" rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 So is that the end of Ray Steven's getting in? It seemed like he was just a lock for the local market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 So is that the end of Ray Steven's getting in? It seemed like he was just a lock for the local market. Well the could put him in any year. The thought was always though that if Pat Patterson's lobbying couldn't get him in the year they are basically in Stevens' town - he probably is never going to get in. Kinda like how JR always stumped for Danny Hodge, they never put him in and now with JR gone - everyone assumes that Hodge will never go in.

Ever since that whole Divas Era you can hear a pin drop when they wrestle. Especially at house shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisM Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Raw is in Minneapolis, tonight, so Larry's induction announcement should get a nice pop from some of the older AWA fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I wonder who inducts Larry? Hall, Regal, Bruno, and Greg Gagne all seem like valid choices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I wonder if Larry getting in was a condition of Bruno going in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I would have also suggested Arn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Mann Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Or Scott Hall would have been another option. They feuded for six months during the MNWs and Hall has said a hundred times Larry was the first guy to make him look like a star when Hall was starting out.

AxB Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Do you think there's a chance Motorhead (or just Lemmy himself) would ever go in the celeb wing? They hold the record for most Wrestlemania 'people who have nothing to do with Wrestling' appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 They really should consider Motorhead for that. Playing for HHH at WM twice, having two memorable themes for him, and being fucking Lemmy should be more than enough reason to get him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I'm pretty happy with this class. It's too bad Ivan Koloff didn't make it in, especially when Lana could have inducted him, and Nash is still on the bubble I guess, but it's a good mix of a line up.

(BP) Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Larry's a good bridge between Attitude era fans and 70s/80s fans. He was really over during the NWO feud. If bands go in, AC/DC would be another good one. Highway to Hell was huge for Summerslam 98. I love the story Foley tells about Vince at Rock's first SNL appearance when they were the musical guests. He had no idea who they were, but he started rocking out and dancing during their sound check and became a huge fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realize that if that becomes the only criteria for bands getting inducted, then that means Nickelback eventually gets in, right? And if that happens, you know we're all gonna blame you, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
