MORELOCK Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Something tells me WWE isn't eager to give Greg Valentine a live mic in 2019. Seems like they'll almost certainly get Jimmy Hart, nothing else really seems to make sense. 1
Matt D Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 They love Jimmy Hart. It'll absolutely be him unless they want to give Elias the moment. By far my favorite Danny Davis match: Just an awesome (Toronto?) crowd completely shitting on babyface HTM and giving Mr. X the thrill of his life. The non PTW version is better because you can feel the heat more but I doubt that's currently online. 1

If you are doing something to be ECW related to troll people, Raven would be a much better choice.
RIPPA Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 1) Again don't think too hard about reasoning if someone is worthy or not 2) Besides the period he wrestled for them, he was one of the main announcers for 8 years 3) The New York connection. Yes - Tommy Dreamer makes more sense for the former ECW/NY connection but clearly they have their reasons (just like for not putting Christian in yet)
Matt D Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 There's always a bit of a shock value in putting in a guy who's been away from the company, like Jarrett.

The Natural Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Had to stop myself adding a y because our dog is called Rayven.
Brian Fowler Posted February 28, 2019 Author Posted February 28, 2019 Tommy is also still working some for Impact, or at least was quite recently. Taz is at least retired and pretty free of obligations.

Putting Tommy in before Christian would be a pretty good troll job on Christian. That said, if Mania is in Tampa next year, I bet Christian will go in then.
TheVileOne Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 You can't put in everyone who deserves a spot every year. Taz deserves a spot for his ECW tenure.
Brian Fowler Posted March 1, 2019 Author Posted March 1, 2019 I wouldn't be surprised if we start getting an "ECW Original" every year for next few years. Fills a spot with someone that'll likely get a solid reaction. Now that the Dudley Boys started it, why not?
AxB Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Dreamer was in Impact two months ago, MLW two weeks ago, and was one of Cody's cornermen at All In. Although Daivari was one of Magnus' cornermen and he's been signed by WWE since.
Nice Guy Eddie Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) Bam Bam Bigelow should be the most obvious choice for this year; from Jersey and had probably the best celebrity match ever with LT. Either Paul E. or LT would be a good choice to induct Bam Bam. King Kong Bundy should also go in. He doesn't fly, so this would be the best chance for him to go in. Who knows when WM will be in the NJ/NY area again and if Bundy will be alive? Ok, this eerie now. I suggested Bundy be elected this year, so he can be there while he's alive, and he passes away four days later. I'm going to guess it was something sudden, as there was never anything about him suffering any long term illness. Edited March 5, 2019 by Nice Guy Eddie King Kong Bundy's passing 2
Ace Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 There is no excuse for them not to induct Cyndi Lauper. 6 1

Brian Fowler Posted March 1, 2019 Author Posted March 1, 2019 I know they inducted Tyson, but I have my doubts they'd want to put LT on stage.

RIPPA Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 For whatever it's worth - that WrestleVotes site is now also claiming that Torrie Wilson and Brutus Beefcake are also going in this year
