Casey Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Beluah should go in before Francine or Dawn, if we're talking ECW female talent. But she did a porn too, and Francine post-ECW did some nude shoots with Missy and Sunny didn't she? I agree Woman should go in, but I guess that won't even happen because of Benoit and the whole "google ____ and you'll find something bad" thing. I really don't think that's the issue, it's probably just the company line. Elizabeth needs to be the female inductee this year, though. It just makes sense. I guess Sable if they're really desperate and want to make Brock happy or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 You could make a case for Mike McGuirk, although I have no idea if she is on good terms with WWE or not. Isn't she the one who claimed Vince raped her? Because that'd probably put them on bad terms. Considering they aren't averse to inducting families, how about the Guerrero family? Arguably Chavo Classic or Gory could go in as solos, but putting the whole family in might be classier. Even if Hector still works for TNA and Chavito is in Lucha Underground.

Brian Fowler Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Backing up to Rikishi, I think the best argument for how over and important he was is the number if times they've tried to recreate him. Albert as the Hip-Hop Hippo, Brodus Clay, Albert again as Sweet T... I feel like I might be forgetting a dancing fat man or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Wikipedia she denied the story that McMahon made advances toward her and says she was let go for refusing to move to Connecticut. Rita Marie, a female ref did accuse him of rape. I cant find if any charges were filed or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mco543 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I always thought it was a woman referee that accused Vince of that. I must've completely blanked on McGuirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heyman is an absolute, other than that, it'll never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofuture Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 RVD probably will. I know he had a big WWE run but he's definitely a guy associated with ECW first and foremost.

BoKnowsWrestling Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Seems like big names for the next couple years could be... sting, undertaker, vince, hhh, the rock. That gives you 5 years. Could Kurt angle be a top guy? Brock if he's done with both wwe and ufc in 5 years. Then maybe Cena even while still wrestling. How about Luna or just the vachons or is Madd dog in? big 2nd tier guys who are alive could be the steiners, demolition, muta, vader, sid, heyman, luger, freebirds and jbl. Then you have tons of dead guys and stuff like no which could headline I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charro! Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I think they'll put some WCW names in with WWE affiliation like The Steniers, Vader, Sid et al before they put in the ECW guys. I do see Paul E, The Dudleyz (Bubba & D'Von) & RVD as definite inductees in the near future. But whether they put in Tommy Dreamer, Raven, Sabu, Shane Douglas, Saturn, Mikey et al is debatable because of them not really being seen as 'WWE guys' like the Dudleyz & RVD kinda are because of them being around during the Attitude Era and RVD came in the tail end of it. As for Chyna, I wonder if she didn't go into porn whether she'd get into the Hall of Fame because of her past relationship with Triple H anyway. They could get around it by inducting DX as a whole, but again I think if you're inducting Divas into the Hall of Fame, like her or not, Chyna should go in. She was IC champ, women's champ, IIRC first woman to participate in the rumble and also was also part of the original DX so there's alot going in her favor if it's based on in-ring accomplishments. I also wonder are Divas who posed for Playboy not eligible for induction either?, if so that would rule out Chyna anyway and also Sable, Torrie, Candice, Maria, Maryse, Christy & Ashley Massaro. Although Sunny did the Wrestling Vixxxens stuff and got an induction in the PG era. It's kinda understandable if WWE are ruling out Chyna because she's appeared in Adult Movies when they are PG now, but they don't really have to make reference to them, although I guess they can't really sugar coat that part of her past either. If you look on IMDB Candice Michelle has been in adult movies too, so if she's inducted in the Hall of Fame in the near future, then it would be hypocritical if she goes in & Chyna doesn't.

Charro! Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Goldust will definitely go in the near future, not sure whether he'll go in the same time as Terri though, but maybe it would be kinda fitting if they do a double induction like Goldust & Marlena together. It is possible Terri could go in separately though as she was part of the Attitude Era and once they've inducted the main Rock & Wrestling and later 80's/early 90's talent, then we'll see a plethora of Attitude Era guys & girls be inducted. I'm not sure if they'd put the New Age Outlaws in separately, or do a big DX induction but I think they should induct the main players first and then induct a faction. I think Ric is in as part of the Horsemen and as an individual inductee so that's something they could do. Also should they induct the behind the scenes/bookers like Sam Mushnick, Gary Hart et al or induct the old promotions/territories themselves but I don't know if that would make sense?. Say they inducted World Class, Southwest, Amarillo & Houston Wrestling next year in Texas, or if they did a WrestleMania in Memphis they could induct CWA (I think it's the Lawler/Jarrett's promotion). That way they are tipping their hat to the territories which helped pave the way for the WWE's success. But that would be more suited to a pro-wrestling Hall of Fame, rather than a WWE focused one.

BEN! Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I don't get the whole "inducting someone local" aspect of the HoF. Only a fraction of the people attending Mania are local, and only a small fraction of that fraction are going to be fans either old enough or steeped enough in wrestling history to care. As hardcore a crowd as Mania draws, how many people who will be there this year do you think could tell you who Ray Stevens is right now? Inducting someone with a local flavor gives the inductee the opportunity to accept in front of their family and friends in the area they made their name in rather than force everyone to travel across the country to a location they have no attachment to. HOF draws well locally. Locals that can't swing WrestleMania tickets for whatever reason can usually get HOF tickets easily. The hardcores traveling in usually go to one of the indies running that night. Otherwise, they're in attendance being assholes no matter who is on stage so it really doesn't matter how well they know the inductee anyway.
