Jamal Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I'd love to see Lex Luger get inducted this year along with Sting. It seems unlikely but he's one I've always hoped for as one of my favorite legends. Luger and Sid are maybe my top two most wanted inductions currently. I'm another that's been hoping each year for Cyndi Lauper to get her induction but figure Lemmy gets this year's as well. I could see Stan Hansen being an outside shot of getting in. If they do a diva induction, I think Jacqueline's a solid choice of the ones mentioned. Should be a pretty top class for as big as this WM is expected to be attendance wise. Jacqueline would be awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Do they have a "one one "The Man They Call..." rule" because Vader is going be dicked over again It should be "A Man Called Sting" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 It's bizarre, but it feels like WWE actually has decided that the Demos really were just second rate Road Warrior ripoffs, and treat them accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, the Powers of Pain were the Road Warriors rip off, which I get as the PoP feuded with the Road Warriors before leaving for the WWF.

ChrisM Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 If they are doing a ref's wing to the HOF, I'm sure Joey Marella would be inducted, not just because of who his father is, but because he reffed what's arguably the biggest match of the 80's, Hogan vs. Andre at WM3.

Which is a real shame, as both Demolition and Powers of Pain were better than LOD, imo.

James He did, but supposedly there was no more bad blood once they signed their legends contract. I for one would definitely love to have them in, even if they decide to add Crush. Yeah I'd say whatever bad blood there was evaporated once Demolition made it into one of the Smackdown games.

If anything, the Powers of Pain were the Road Warriors rip off, which I get as the PoP feuded with the Road Warriors before leaving for the WWF. I didn't even know until very recently that Barbarian was very, very briefly the third member of the Road Warriors, which explained his hair cut, tights, and face paint before the Powers of Pain formed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 They need to stop being mean and let Vader in. He has the "qualifications" and clearly it means a lot to him. And he still pops in from time to time so its not like WWE hates him or they are on bad terms. Give the guy a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Casey Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 If there's going to be a ref's wing, I think along with the ones already talked about on here, I think Tim White should get in too. I'd also like to see Madusa, Sherri, et. al. moved into a women's wing, so they can start honoring some of the joshi legends like Bull, Dump, Crush Gals, Aja Kong, Manami Toyota, and Akira Hokuto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidNatural Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 The other thing that the WWE needs to consider is differentiating between wrestling deaths. There's such a backlog because they don't see that Pillman, Davey Boy and Rude's deaths are different from Owen dying in the accident, Brody being murdered or Thesz dying of old age.

Technico Support Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I love how every year we have to go through the excerise of people being all THEY AREN'T WORTHY OF THE WWE HALL OF FAME!!! The WWE puts in whoever the fuck they want. There is no "worthiness" Exactly. I'd argue against DDP and Sting both, but not here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt any of those will happen. Unless WWE owns quite a bit of footage of someone, they probably aren't going to make it in even if they worked for WWE at some point. People like Verne and Watts only made it in because WWE owned their footage. Inoki and Fujinami have a lot of footage owned by WWE as well.

stro Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Man...I can't even imagine how awesome Thesz was in his prime just based on shit he was doing in Japan in his 50s and 60s. He was pushing 60 in the Thesz/Gotch (pushing 50) vs Inoki/Sakaguchi match and it was fucking rad. Thesz in his prime must have been a true sight to see. WWE DID give him an award in 1997 at Badd Blood 1997 as a St. Louis legend. He was also in the WCW Hall of Fame. It is curious that he isn't in the WWE HOF. I think it is mostly because the current audience has absolutely no clue who he is and WWE doesn't own much if any footage of him to educate them. I think besides getting awards in WWE and WCW, the only footage WWE owns of Thesz is his appearance on TNT. He's in the crowd or backstage at a couple of NWA/WCW shows in the late 80s, but I don't think WWE actually owns any in ring footage of Lou Thesz.

Jenalysis Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Vader needs to be inducted by Sting, or maybe Harley- if Sting next year would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 What are the odds of them doing a Wrestlemania in St. Louis at the Edward James Dome? If Thesz were ever going to go in, that's the class to do it. I would love to see Vader go in this year but I'm not sure if Harley can induct him. I saw reports he's not in the best of health. Vader said on Twitter if he does go in, he would like his son to induct him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningBeard Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I'd really like to see Rick Rude in and I'm glad Medusa vocalised that last year. Him and Triple H are the most natural heels I've ever watched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
