KidNatural Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Very, very solid class. All of them are no brainers except for Kahli and he at least had a main event push. It looks like there won't be any more Legacy HOFers any more but there are so many to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I'm happy that Kane is being inducted , he's definitely one of the most memorable characters ever that endured alot of bad angles and that's not to Mention alot of the hoakyness that type of gimmick lends itself to. A while back I was watching early 96 WWF Superstars doing spring board clotheslines and some other agile maneuvers as Isaac Yankees. Then 6 months later he'd be a Parody of Diesel. I find it so interesting that as Hoaky and sometimes cheesy as Gimmicks like Undertaker and Kane could be they both were very serious about keeping the integrity of their inring work. We see all the bells and whistles with the current incarnation of Bray Wyatt and how it's completely killing his opponents credibility. It's not necessarily Brays fault because those types of Supernatural gimmicks don't require you to be any good in the ring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thee Reverend Axl Future Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Blah, blah, not a real Hall of Fame, yadda yadda, no physical building, yakity shmakity, Vince's pick - but I say--- The Great Khali?!?!?!? For shame... The HoF is the last thing that attracts my interest about WrestleMania anymore, but I can comfortably walk away now. Not out of protest or anger, but just the scales are dropped from my eyes, the bar has lowered so precipitously, the silliness is so apparent, that I have lost interest. I don't mind justifying Koko B. Ware, Abdullah the Butcher, James Dudley, Drew Carey for sundry carny reasons but TGK is a shite choice for me. - RAF, who doesn't like to be so negative but even if you wanted to court "the Indian Universe" there were better choices in my opinion...

DreamBroken Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) I like seeing the reactions, but I do miss the career video package way of announcing the inductees. Always a fan of Kane, Khali, and RVD so I look forward to this. Though I wish it wasn't taped and thus edited/cut for time.

Curt McGirt Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 BTW, if you're not convinced Vince wouldn't know Rob was high just remember he didn't know what the 4:20 Legdrop meant and they told him it was the degrees he turned on i or something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four legs and their combined shoe size. Vince McMahon has seen enough of the world that he can allegedly cover up a murder, but he can't see through that nonsense. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 FYI - in case folks were wondering, RVD is the last person for this year's class Meltzer was saying on the radio show yesterday that all he keeps being told is the Peacock/Daniel Bryan thing was an error but not what type of error (meaning if Bryan is/was supposed to go in this year or someone was just silly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say fired but with the pandemic I didn't feel right saying that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sex Machine Gun Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I already knew about it, but when RVD came up on Raw tonight while they listed the other inductees I felt really, really happy from a deep place. I know HHH went in with the DX induction but RVD beat him there as a single! Now if I could just go back in time and tell my 2002 self about this and say "chill, RVD will be all right." So him and the Dudleys are the only fully legit, got big in the original ECW first wrestlers so far? I can't think of anyone else, male or female, who was an actual mainstay and not like Eddie whose run was only a matter of months. Heyman's in as soon as he retires but I'm having a hard time thinking of anyone else who was synonymous with ECW that'd be considered. Shane Douglas ain't gonna make it, neither will Sabu and damn sure not Taz any time soon. They really need to use an older picture of Kane for his graphic, like 98/99 Kane when he looked like the genuine last person on the roster you'd ever want to get their hands on you.

hammerva Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 As if this hall of fame wasn't weird enough The WM backstage segment that always seems to happen is going to be something.

If there was an ECW Hall of Fame, absolutely, he gets his own wing. I know the WWE Hall has inducted people who never wrestled for WWE in substantial fashion but at least they were people who had prominent careers in multiple promotions. Raven would get in before Dreamer to me but I do reserve a special shout-out for Dreamer's license plate-based WWE Hardcore belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Well to be fair at least this time they're celebrating somebody that's with the company doing great things. So I'm very happy that Titus is being recognized as he seems like one helluva person. But yes it is complete bullshit that Lauper isn't in though I'd rather she get the induction in front of a full crowd and not whatever they're gonna do this year.
