RIPPA Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Jushin Liger was just announced as working ROH's Supercard of Honor show (which is their Mania weekend show) So while he will be in Orlando that weekend - I doubt Vince would be too keen on inducting a guy into the HOF on Friday, having him work ROH Saturday and then show up on Mania on Sunday So I am thinking Liger in the HOF is off the table (Yes - Liger can do his own bookings and in theory could cancel his ROH booking but I doubt he really wants to get in between NJ and the WWE again) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 54 minutes ago, Nice Guy Eddie said: Heyman is the only choice to induct Brock when he goes in. Heyman should be in as well. You could go with Foley, Dreamer, the Dudleys, or maybe Taz for the induction. If it's Dreamer, I say let Paul E. shoot him, so Tommy can finally take a bullet for ECW. It'll just be a grazing blow. Paul Heyman should be and I think he will be. Shawn Michaels and Edge went into the WWE Hall of Fame a year after retiring, will WWE do the same for Daniel Bryan or wait on it?

JonnyLaw Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I can see them doing it next year in New Orleans since it was the site of his WMXXX wins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Has Lex Luger been under any consideration? I think he could have some potential, unless the optics were too bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I've seen Lex as a talking head on some Network stuff, and seem to remember reading where he works with WWE I'm some capacity on the Wellness policy so I don't think relations are as icy as they used to be.

Lacelle Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 They really need to induct guys before they die, it's bullshit that Savage didn't get to live to see his own induction. The idea of holding guys off for another year will bite them in the ass. How is Rick Martel not in? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 With Fred Ottman's recent health scare - I wouldn't be shocked if the Natural Disaster rumor is true just so they don't wait too long (Assuming he is healthy enough to travel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Oh man, they should at least have Tajiri walk up then pan back to the look of dread on Regal's face before Bryan tells him to go sit back down 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarl Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 So if Rick Rude is going in this year, who inducts him and who will accept? As far as I know, he doesn't have any kids or a widow or anything, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His youngest son died in a motorcycle accident in Sept so the family might not be ready for public scenes. I figure Heyman would be involved - either inducting or accepting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 It could also be a way to get Austin to do something WM weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Austin is a great choice to induct Rude. He always has great stories about the guy, but most of them do involve Rude being pretty high... Or if Jake weren't likely inducting DDP, then he could do it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Comedian Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 With Angle headlining, I could see them going with Big Match John inducting him, what with the "Cena debuted against him" thing and all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Kurt Angle's Hall of Fame induction was bound to happen at some point, especially after he mellowed out about his relationship with Vince McMahon in recent years. Angle at his peak was one of the very best workers in WWE history. He easily deserves this spot. I'm not going to say it should've happened sooner. A lot of fans get very angry or passionate about who hasn't been inducted yet, but you can't induct every legend or potential candidate every year either. In time, I believe even Chyna will get a HOF induction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Austin, Eaton, Arn, Larry, Heyman, Madusa could induct Rude as a unit. They won't but they could. (Seriously I could see it being Jake or Sting, if not Austin. The gimmicky choice is Regis). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RnR can go in the year after the Hardys do, so Broken Matt can do the induction speech and apologize for leaving Ricky hanging. Midnights won't go in anytime this decade, as who among the higher ups in the WWE are going to give Cornette a live mic on one of their big nights?
