MonteCarl Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I don't know what the hold up is in inducting Cyndi Lauper. Anybody have any info on that? Is she just not interested in doing the appearance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 She did a Raw appearance a couple years ago with Richter, so there doesn't seem to be bad blood. My only guess is that they're waiting for the next time they're around NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Isn't Regis in pretty bad health? I thought I saw something a while back regarding that. Good for Snoop, though. Let Sasha induct him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Ziggler was the one who got glassed by Cyndi on that Raw, right? I could watch that all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Quote The WWE will be updating the Hall of Fame this year with a "Legacy Award" based on a banner at the WWE Store right now. There are seven names that are listed on the poster: Ed "Strangler" Lewis, Frank Gotch, George Hackenschmidt, Lou Thesz, Mildred Burke, Pat O'Connor and one other person. All are among the biggest names in wrestling history, with Gotch and Hackenschmidt responsible for the first huge gate and spearheading wresting getting national headlines, Lewis being the most famous wrestler of the 20s, Thesz being the dominant world champion of the 50s, Burke being the first women's champion to get worldwide attention and O'Connor being one of the smoothest workers of his day. Although WWE has inducted Gorgeous George, Buddy Rogers and Argentina Rocca, who were contemporaries of Thesz and O'Connor, they had not honored anyone who was a major star before the advent of television. The poster doesn't list them for the Hall of Fame, but for the WWE Legacy Award. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 4 hours ago, Casey said: That's a really good idea. Sort of an "early influences" award. I highly doubt there's any existing footage of guys like Lewis, Gotch or Hackenschmidt, though. By the way, the "one other person" is Sailor Art Thomas, who was a star in the Midwest during the 50's, 60's and 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidNatural Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 That's a great list. Throw in El Santo and Rikidozan and that'd be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H. Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Stan Hansen dropping Tiger Jeet Singh's name was the closest Singh will get to the HOF. Stan rambled a bit but damn I can listen to him tell stories ll day. He's the Sam Elliott of pro-wrestling James 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fallacy! Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I'm pretty sure Kevin Von Erich just called New Day "New Gay." This Freebirds speech had more false finishes than a Davey Richards match. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
