RIPPA Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Apparently Batista has a conflict and won’t be indicted this year. Meltzer’s update was a little confusing but basically the WWE confirmed there was a change and it involves Batista Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Also - the ceremony is being taped ahead of time. (This is partly due to the WWE needing to vacate the Thunderdome - April 2 is the last day) Quote POST Wrestling can also confirm that the Hall of Fame will be taped over two days at Tropicana Field before the end of WWE’s residency. Fightful Select had already reported that the Hall of Fame will be taped the week prior on Tuesday & Thursday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCW '99 was what it was but her flying around and interfering for Savage was fun. And the inventor of the Molly-Go-Round!

hammerva Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I will say between Great Khali and Liger doing an induction speech and RVD probably high as fuck with Katie Forbes all over him, you can't say this will be a boring Hall of Fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Kane the wrestler definitely deserves to be in the HOF. Just too damn bad about what Glenn has become. But Khali? I get it's for the India fans but holy bats to answer Rippa's question from elsewhere he's easily the worst wrestler to go in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I echo all the above my friend says. Man, I pulled such a face reading about The Great Khali's induction. Ugh. Interesting that Undertaker hasn't been inducted yet, the year after his retirement (so he says) unlike Edge was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides Taker clearly being able to call his own shots, if they have anyone left to sell tickets to the HOF its Taker and Rock.

odessasteps Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Yeah, doing him in Texas makes the most sense,. also, in a kayfabe sense, better to not do Kane and Taker the same year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonzombie Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 At some point they're really gonna run out of names, could see in the future WWE deactivating their Hall of Fame for some years. Anyway I would like to see Keiji Muto get in some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean not when they are going to induct guys multiple times. (and there is no shortage of deceased wrestlers due to their "only one a year rule" Plus they are only just now starting to get to Ruthless Aggression guys.
