WWE Hall of Fame

[ChoKo]

Some news on this year's inductees:

Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

The list for this year's WWE Hall of Fame inductees is almost complete. Two names we know for sure are Ric Flair, and Mae Young. Young is said to be a lock for the WWE Hall of Fame. Another name getting some considering is former announcer Gordon Solie. Dusty Rhodes is pushing hard for Solie to get inducted, since it's in Florida and that's where he made his name. The problem is that Solie never spoke well of McMahon when he was alive, and that doesn't help his chances obviously. Solie has gotten a significant amount of votes from the selection panel in the past, but McMahon vetoes his induction. Two other individuals up for consideration are Peter Maivia, The Rock's grandfather that passed away in 1982, and Rocky Johnson, The Rock's father. Their inductions hinge on The Rock's schedule getting cleared during WrestleMania weekend. He's definitely up for the idea. Internally, the belief is that The Rock is coming. Furthermore, there is an unwritten rule in that WWE doesn't want to induct more than one or two deceased individuals per year. They don't want the event to be a downer and the last thing they want to do is a put a spotlight on death.

I really hope that Steamboat gets in this year.

[Spade]

Yeah I'd love to see Steamboat get inducted.

[NW77]

I really hope that Steamboat gets in this year.




Me too. He has some of the best matches in wrestling. The match with Macho Man was one of the best in the 80s. :cool:

[Spade]

More like one of the best of all time :p.

[Uncle Hoody]

Wait...there's a selection panel?

[Dezibluenose]

Here's a few choices for whatever Tag Team will get inducted this year:-

Demolition

The Hart Foundation

The British Bulldogs.


Anyone of them I'd be happy

[Spade]

Yeah that caught me by surprise too.

Here's a few choices for whatever Tag Team will get inducted this year:-

Demolition

The Hart Foundation

The British Bulldogs.


Anyone of them I'd be happy

Great choices.

[ChoKo]

I think, if Ric Flair is being inducted this year, Arn Anderson should be as well. I think it'd be great to see them induct each other into the Hall of Fame. It'd be a very emotional moment for me.

[Uncle Hoody]

I think if Arn goes in, he should be inducted by Sid Eudy. And for the memorabilia section of the Hall of Fame, you know the "physical hall" they can have the infamous pair of scissors and maybe the squeegee.

[ChoKo]

and maybe the squeegee.

Ah, yes. Who could forget Sid's weapon of choice. :lmao:

[Denzil]

Here's a few choices for whatever Tag Team will get inducted this year:-

Demolition

The Hart Foundation

The British Bulldogs.

I love for the British Bulldogs to be inducted. However, considering the wrestles already mentioned as having a good chance getting into the HOF, it would go against their "no more than one or two deceased individuals per year" policy.

[ChoKo]

Jim Ross had this to say, about the HOF, in his new blog:

The WWE has not released any names that will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame next month but one can assume that the roster of inductees will be released on a weekly basis after No Way Out this Sunday on Pay Per View. With WM24 being in Florida’s Citrus Bowl, one could assume that there will be a Florida flavor to the proceedings, which speaks to my ringing endorsement of the late Gordon Solie, arguably the greatest play by play voice ever in the business, and Jack and Jerry Brisco who left this home in Oklahoma in the 60s to make Florida their home and both went on to one of the most distinguished careers, both as singles wrestlers and as a team, in the history of the business. Plus, if one talks about Florida Championship Wrestling, how could promoter Eddie Graham be omitted from this class? It will be interesting to see who is inducted and who will be honored as presenters for the event that sees tickets going on sale on Saturday March 1 for the event that will be held at the Amway Arena in Orlando the night before Wrestlemania.

WWE has decided on names to be inducted into the company's hall of fame this year. They are finalizing the presenters. WWE is said to be confident that The Rock will induct his father Rocky Johnson and grandfather Peter Maivia.

Gordon Solie, Jack and Jerry Brisco also look to be set for this year's WWE Hall of Fame.

The first member of the WWE's Hall of Fame 2008 class of inductees will be announced tonight on RAW in Anaheim, Calif. The group will be enshrined March 29 in Orlando, Fla. during WrestleMania weekend.
ADDED:
From WWE.com:

The legendary "Nature Boy" Ric Flair is the first member of the WWE Hall of Fame's 2008 class, becoming the first active competitor to be inducted.

[NW77]

I wish they use wrestlers & others who are retired for the Hall of Fame. Not someone who is still wrestling in WWE. They should have Steamboat instead of Flair this year. Seeing as if he was to be in HoF, they should get George "The Animal" Steele. No way will Randy Savage ever be there with the bad blood between him & Vince, which is a shame.

[The 5th Golden Girl]

I'm very excited, yet also very nervous about Mae Young's induction. While she's been treated as a joke for the past ten years in WWE, her career spanning back to the 40's is quite astonishing. She helped train Fabulous Moolah. She wore men's pants and smoked cigars back in the 50's before it was acceptable to do so. She never held gold, as far as I know, but she was one of the tough broads from back in the day.

I really hope they focus on her past moreso than her comedy angles. She deserves it. I'm not saying ignore her contributions to the WWE over the past few years because God knows she's been taking sick bumps for her age (powerbombed through tables, powerbombed off the ramp through tables, body slammed hard and splashed off the top rope by Umaga when he went by Jamal, pumphandle-slammed by Test, stunned by Stone Cold, beaten up by Jeff Jarrett, taken nasty bumps over the top rope to the floor, etc.) and has been game for everything, but treat her past accomplishments with some respect, too. I bet people would be fascinated with seeing her in her hayday in a "THAT's Mae Young?!?" kind of way.

FUN FACT: Mae Young wrestled a match in Memphis on December 7, 1941.

[Spade]

Yeah I hope they focus more on when she was in her prime and not on the comedy stuff.

[Just Jeans]

I wish they use wrestlers & others who are retired for the Hall of Fame. Not someone who is still wrestling in WWE.

I doubt whether Flair will be around for much longer. I wouldn't be surprised if he retires soon after his induction. Honestly, I think he deserves it.

[ChoKo]

Indeed. Flair deserves it more than anyone; active or not.

[Denzil]

Flair deserves it, i can't wait to see everyone getting emotional when he gets inducted.

[Nick Michalak]

Well, if it weren't for the rule about "one or two deceased wrestlers," I'd nominate the Road Warriors for induction. Obviously, we all know Hawk passed on several years ago. While they're not my favorite tag team (Hart Foundation), or even my favorite tag team with face paint (Demolition), they are the most celebrated and well-known tag team in history.

Though, there is something negative to be said about this rule. There are soooooo many great wrestlers that have passed away that it will take another 40 years to get them all in at this rate. I'd list them, but my mind has been blanking out for days now. Plus, it's too late to be researching things. Though, I believe my point is taken. They'll be two or three generations removed from the deaths of these wrestlers before their inducted. They should do as they did when Andre died - immediately induct them into the Hall of Fame. Might tend to become less and less ceremonial, but when they die, there's no more reason to wait. They've done all they ever will do for the business, and when they pass on, it is time to honor them for their legacies. Rick Rude died nine years ago, but still hasn't been inducted. Why? Took only half that time to induct Curt Hennig after his 2003 death. Does not make sense to me. Both men were extraordinary talents, and deserve the same honors. Not to mention, they were the closest of friends since high school. WWE should expand the number of hall of fame inductions per year because it's just taking too long to honor certain legends.

[ChoKo]

On RAW this week, it was announced that The Rock will be at WrestleMania weekend for the Hall of Fame ceremony to induct his father Rocky Johnson and his grandfather "High Chief" Peter Maivia. I honestly expect him at 'Mania in some way. I just have a feeling some sort of deal will be worked out especially if they were willing to pay Mayweather $20 million for his appearance. I guess it all depends on The Rock and if he wants to do it or not. This will be interesting.


Source - WZ

[The Dream Master]

Holy shit, they were willing to pay Mayweather $20 million to be at Wrestlemania?! That's insane.

[Nick Michalak]

Now, we know why the price for the PPV is so astronomical.

-NJM

[The Dream Master]

Indeed. I have to think that Mayweather's pay day can't be sitting well with the WWE talent, either. He's going to make more for a few appearances than most of them will in their career.

[Just Jeans]

I wouldn't think this would bother most of the WWE talent anymore than a working actor who appears with tom Cruise or Steve Carrell (both cats who make more per film than a lot of working actors will make their entire career). That's just the nature of the entertainment industry.

[CrazyChris187]

i want to see owen hart inducted he was a great wrestler

[Denzil]

I would love to see Owen Hart inducted too. He is very deserving of a place in the HOF.

However you would have to get Martha Hart's (Owen's widow) consent first, which i doubt would happen. After all that has happened, she doesn't want anything to do with the WWE.

Jake Roberts is scheduled to be inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame next month. Apparently he will be given a temporary release from his rehab treatment to attend the award show.

There are also rumblings that Scott Hall, who is in the same treatment facility as Roberts, might attend the H.O.F. ceremony with Roberts.

Roberts is one of the only wrestlers who openly and publicly accepted WWE's rehab offer, and even sent out a thank you letter to Vince. We don't have an update on Roberts' condition, but Scott Hall is said to be doing exceptionally well and looks forward to mending broken business relationships when he completes his treatment.

I hope this is true. Jake deserves to be in the HOF.

Now, come on WWE, INDUCT STEAMBOAT DAMN IT.

[Denzil]

Wow, Jake in the HOF. It would be freaky to see Hall at a WWE show.

It must be just a matter of time before Steamboat gets in.

[Uncle Hoody]

Jake must be inducted by Rick Martel.....blindfolded, both of them.

Worst match ever :lol:.

[andrew8798]

According to Brian Fritz, a very few limited seats are still available for WWE's hall of fame ceremony on 3/29, which takes place at Orlando's Amway Arena. Earlier this evening, Fritz said on the Wrestling Observer Live radio show that Jake Roberts and the Brisco brothers are expected to be inducted into WWE's hall of fame this year. A dark horse name is still legendary annoucer Gordon Solie.

It is interesting to note that TNA is taping Impact Saturday afternoon to avoid going head to head with WWE's hall of fame ceremony, yet Ring of Honor's Saturday night event at the Orlando Downtown Recreation Complex is partially next door to the Amway Arena. In fact, Fritz noted that people attending the hall of fame ceremony and Ring of Honor events will be sharing parking spots.

Well, I'm relieved they actually focused some of the attention on Mae Young's past accomplishments and didn't just target her attitude era comedy routine. She is a pioneer in women's wrestling. I wonder who will induct her. They should ask Trish and Lita to induct her.

I'm thinking Mark Henry.

[ChoKo]

Contrary to previous reports, prowrestling.net says that Jake "The Snake" Roberts will NOT be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. Roberts has been telling people he is attending the ceremony and was recently booked for an indy show in Orlando the afternoon of the ceremony, adding to the speculation.

Shit.

[ChoKo]

From WrestleZone:

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's appearance at the hall of fame almost didn't happen due to his movie schedule. He is in the middle of shooting "Witch Mountain" in Las Vegas that weekend. He will be rushed into Orlando, and then fly back to Las Vegas to resume shooting. Thus, he won't be appearing at Wrestlemania.

Hulk Hogan is pushing indirectly to induct Florida wrestling legend, Eddie Graham (who should be announced soon), into the WWE Hall of Fame. No word yet on where that's going. If it's not Hogan, it will likely be his son Mike Graham doing the induction.

[CosmoBubba]

Well, I'm relieved they actually focused some of the attention on Mae Young's past accomplishments and didn't just target her attitude era comedy routine. She is a pioneer in women's wrestling. I wonder who will induct her. They should ask Trish and Lita to induct her.

As sad as it is, I'd never even heard of her prior to her showing up during the Attitude Era. I had no idea at all that she used to be a wrestler until relatively recently.

[The 5th Golden Girl]

As sad as it is, I'd never even heard of her prior to her showing up during the Attitude Era. I had no idea at all that she used to be a wrestler until relatively recently.

That's okay. I first started watching wrestling in 2000 around the time she was put through a table by the Dudley Boys. When that happened, I was convinced she was a man acting like an old woman because no old woman would ever actually do a bump like that, right? Well, I soon found out how wrong I was. She's not only a real woman, she's a hell of a woman. Since that first powerbomb through a table, I've seen her powerbombed off the stage through tables, body slammed, big splashed, pumphandle slammed, kicked, punched, and Stone Cold stunner'ed, just to name a few.

It wasn't until I watched Lipstick and Dynamite, though, that I realized she was a wrestler dating back to the 1930s.

[ChoKo]

According to WrestleZone, Triple H will be the one to induct Ric Flair into the HOF.

[NW77]

HHH? They should've use Dusty Rhodes or Harley Race to do that instead. Or Steamboat.

[andrew8798]

It has been confirmed that Ricky Steamboat will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. He will be inducted by Ric Flair.

Steamboat and Ted DiBiase got a lot of votes for last year's internal election regarding the WWE Hall of Fame. Vince McMahon takes the candidates with the most votes under consideration but makes all the picks in the end. The two wrestling legends weren't snubbed last year, but Vince knows he can't put all the best candidates in at once, so they are spread out over years.

I don't think scott hall will ever be in the fall of fame

[The Dark Vampire]

Mr T. who has been in the UK promoting Snickers said he turned down a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame. He said in an interview that he felt "insulted" by the presence of Pete Rose in the celebrity wing: "WWE asked me to be in the Hall of Fame and I turned it down. You know why? They put Pete Rose in the wrestling Hall of Fame. This guy can't even get into his own Hall of Fame... After they put Rose in they came and asked me and I said "You don't insult me! You don't put Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame before me! I ain’t going to be a part of that... They put him in and he only did one WrestleMania, and he didn't even wrestle.

Am I understanding that Mr. T said that Pete Rose was only in one wrestlemania?

I do believe he was in 14, 15, and 2000.

True he was

However I can understand how T can feel pissed off that he wasn't the 1st in and they have waited so long to try to induct him

[jasonlives13]

Plus Mr T was in the main event at wrestlemania one and had a boxing match with piper at number 2

True Mr T played a big part in why WM1 and therefore WM was/is so popular ok I'm certain Vince would of pulled it off without T but there is no denying he did help a lot and many tickets and PPV buys would of been made just to see him as at the time he was one of the most popular celebrities around

Yeah and he knew he would get people who weren't into wrestling to buy the PPV to see all these celebritys on a wrestling show, so Mr T should of been the first I think

So....Koko B. Ware? :confused:

[nottidelterrore]

Koko Muthafuckin' B. Ware!

http://www.revolholic.com/kiri/KOKOBWARE.jpg

[The Dark Vampire]

Yeah but sadly it will have to be Frankie 2 with him

[The Dream Master]

I like Koko, and I realize that the Hall of Fame really just boils down to whether or not you're on good terms with Vinnie Mac, but Hall of Fame? I dunno. Seems weird that Honky Tonk Man will be inducting him when I think Honky Tonk Man belongs there himself.

[Nick Michalak]

Yeah, it confuses me too. You've got superstars like Randy Savage, Rick Martel, "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, Davey Boy Smith, Rick Rude, Big Boss Man, Demolition, Legion of Doom / Road Warriors, Steiner Brothers, Big Van Vader, Bam Bam Bigelow, Brian Pillman, Arn Anderson, and scores more that have yet to be inducted, and they choose KoKo B. Ware. A flashy, yet inconsequential low end mid-carder who never even won a single Championship. He's like Flash Funk with a parrot.

-NJM

[The Dark Vampire]

I think a reason is they don't want to put to many big names in at once for example this year they have Stone Cold -The Funks and Ricky The Dragon Steamboat 4 big names there so now it will just be low to mid carders just so some higher up names won't get overshadowed plus if they put all the big names in at once they will run out of big names sooner or later

True but on the other hand it is Wrestlemania 25, so for the 25 anniversary it should have more big names than some others, they should of threw koko in next year, but im sure there gonna throw a huge name out on the last raw before wrestlemania

[Uncle Hoody]

koko huge name

Does not compute.


I'm sorry but Koko B. Ware had better not be the feature addition of any Hall of Fame unless its the "Best Wrestlers ever to bring a parrot to the ring Hall of Fame"


And I got the vibe from Beyond the Mat that Koko and Vince have a burnt bridge.

I know wrestling isn't "real," but if they want the HoF to have any shred of credibility, it shouldn't be about honoring a certain amount of people. If only 3 or 4 people deserve to get in one year, then so be it. No reason to fill it out so there's more additions. Honestly, I think it detracts from those who deserve to get in because there's no way I can lump in Koko B. Ware (God love him) with Steve Austin, the Funks, or Ricky the Dragon.

You guys are totally missing the point here - it's not about the guy, it's about THE BIRD.

True but the HOF lost any credibility when they put Pete Rose in it

But I do agree it would be better to put just a few in than some who just don't deserve it Koko maybe a nice fellow but all he ever was was a lower mid card guy -enhancement guy- jobber to the stars whatever you want to call it

I don't know why you edited my post to say that I said that Koko was a huge name I said with it being the 25th anniversary every five years (wrestlemania 1,5,10,15,20,25,etc)it should be full of big names, thats why I said put Koko in, next year with some other mid carders

You got me. I misread your post. Thanks for pointing that out.


But even with WM 26 I still don't think Koko is HOF worthy. Maybe Frankie but not Koko.

Whilst all he ever as was a jobber he is perhaps the most famous jobber in history and could be called a legend of the jobber world

I'd mark out like a madman. Demon, my friend outside of this board & on it, met Virgil a few times. He pointed out that Virgil had a lot of change on the floor of his car. He is also rumored to have shared a Sprite with Virgil. :lol:

I know he won't ever get inducted unless they do a gimmick HOF but it does make you wonder

I mean they usually have one big one for the final entrant, I wonder who, wish it was Randy Savage but its never going to happen, I guess its who Vince wants, I know honky tonk man was meant to be one, but he was already booked for the wizard world convention, and he didnt want to let them down, so fair play to him.

[Evil_Meanie]

There is no truth to that rumor whatsoever, it's just a stupid thing that got started on the net and got out of hand. The reason McMahon doesn't like Savage is because Savage took the Slim Jim sponsorship to WCW with him at a time when WWF struggled for sponsors.

Sable sued him for sexual harassment
Hogan for many reasons
Bret Hart (not picking a side but Vince did hate him)
even Eric Bischoff who tried to put him out of business and many more

So the Slim Jim Deal was nothing and if Vince thought he world get some $$$ out of him he would have him back unless he hated him.

Last year when they were making The Legends OF Wm game when someone suggested Randy Savage Vince threw a hissy fit and said never say that name to him it's genuine pure hatered he hates him more than he's ever hated anybody

[Evil_Meanie]

Yet Vince released a Randy Savage DVD.

When Savage's first deal with WCW was up after he fought Hollywood Hogan for the title at Halloween Havoc, he entered negotiations with the WWF for a return, but demanded too much money and a top spot on the card. When Vince didn't do this, Savage went back to WCW. Now keep in mind that this is after Savage left WWF the first time, so this was after the supposed rumor. And yet Savage was discussing a return with McMahon afterwards? Not likely.

Savage has been featured occasionally in WWE Magazine (or whatever its called) since WCW folded, giving further evidence that the rumors are a bunch of crap.

I've heard all sorts of other reasons for why Savage and Vince don't get along ranging from:

Savage taking a shit on Vince's contract offer and sending it back to him before going to WCW.

Savage's constant attempts to get Bret to come to WCW after WrestleMania XII.

And so on and so forth..

I believe the Slim Jim story because I saw the evidence of it, and it makes sense. Savage stole a sponsor from Vince at what would prove to be the WWF's literal low point as a company. Then, Savage demanded deals that rivaled the kind of money he was getting from Turner when the prospect of him coming back came up, despite the fact that he built his legacy in the WWF. I imagine that Vince didn't appreciate the fact that Savage held him up for more money after Vince was willing to forgive him and bring him back after taking Slim Jim to WCW.

So no, my friend, Randy Savage did not have sex with Stephanie McMahon. First of all, the dates of the said events are ridiculously skewed, and the fact the no legal action was ever pursued speaks absolute volumes for the validity of it. The fact of the matter is that Randy Savage was, at one point, the greatest wrestler in America...but he was still crazy as hell, and McMahon has distanced himself from pretty much all of the crazier legends out there, aside from The Iron Sheik. If Randy Savage had slept with Stephanie McMahon, there's no way in hell there'd be a 3 Disc DVD set commemorating his career.

[Rich]

Actually about that I've often wondered why WWE doesn't block the gimmick been done outside of WWE as they must own the copyright

Why bother. All they have to do is use a different name. Anyone can dress like a clown in a wrestling ring. If they used a clown costume and changed the name to "Silly the Clown," there wouldn't be a thing WWE could do about it, so I guess they figure it isn't worth the legal bullshit.

[The Dark Vampire]

To br fair the DVD is bare bones no interviews no extras like every other DVD set just matches and there is even rumours Vince didn't want it but got out voted by the board of directors

I'm not saying he did have sex with Steph but whatever it is goes far far deeper than a sponsorship deal.

As for no legal action it would be very very hard to prove as it didn't come out until at least 5 years after said event when she was already legal and having sex anyway plus I've heard a rumour that the reason Vince didn't press chargers is Randy has something on Vince what if came out would see Vince doing jail time

Plus there has always been stories about wrestlers before the 90's going with underage girls and boys even and Vince was rumored to turn a blind eye maybe if Randy got in trouble for it he could say Vince knew about many other cases.

BTW if it did happen I do believe Steph was 100% willing

[Evil_Meanie]

BTW if it did happen I do believe Steph was 100% willing

It didn't happen. Please understand this. I was online before that rumor ever started. I know for a fact that it is just a stupid rumor, and it likely originated from #wcw on mIRC. Randy Savage did not sleep with Stephanie McMahon.

It was a bare bones dvd because Vince doesn't like Savage. But it wasn't a DVD that bashed Savage relentlessly, like the one that Warrior got. Who do you think Warrior slept with, Linda?

Randy Savage has always been regarded as eccentric, and he doesn't have a reputation as being the easiest guy in the world to get along with. He only got worse as he got older. I've got a friend who worked as a jobber on Saturday Night and ran into Savage backstage. He offered to shake his hand, and Savage wouldn't stop squeezing until my buddy dropped to his knees. Savage worked stiff in a match with a celebrity at major PPV event! And just look at how long he lasted in TNA, and I'll bet you probably know the story behind his departure from that company since you were actually around for that one.

The reason that Vince McMahon avoids Savage is the same reason he avoids The Warrior. But people who work for the company at least respect Savage enough to stop Vince from doing a hatchet job DVD on him, like he had originally planned to do awhile back.

[The Dark Vampire]

Antonio Inoki has been announced
I'm really happy about this as he is a true legend and thanks to the Internet I have been privileged to see some of his matches

[The Dark Vampire]

Wendi Richter has been announced on Raw

so now we have both (legit) Screw Job people in the HOF and hers pre dated Bret's by 12 years

I thought she said she would never have anything to do with WWE/F again and she has refused to be put into the HOF in the past as well as just last year didn't want to be in the Miss Wrestlemaina Battle Royal but maybe she thought if Bret can put the past behind him so can she

[The Dark Vampire]

The Ultimate Warrior was asked and has apparently turned down a Hall of Fame invitation this year in Phoenix where he resides, according to those who would know. It could still happen but there is an issue over money. The standard rate is $5,000 although certain people have been paid more in the past.


Week earlier, The Honky Tonk Man rejected an offer to be inducted into the 2010 class of inductees.
Credit>Gerweck.Net

I hope this is true as I really dislike the guy I don't think there is a pro wrestler I dislike more

As for Honky a few days ago I herad he has signed a WWE legends contract so maybe if true he's changed his mind

[Evil_Meanie]

I think the only reason Honky rejected them was because of a scheduling conflict. Maybe that got worked out.

[nottidelterrore]

The Ultimate Warrior is a talentless & bigoted racist piece of shit.

Yeah. A real shame with how I was a huge fan as a kid. Hearing how crazy he is in real life & how reckless he was in the ring made me lost respect for him. If he was normal & not that reckless in the ring along with more moves, I would still be a big fan. He ruin it for himself.

The 1st inductee of the 2011 HOF is

Shawn Michaels

[Special Killa B]

Looks like WWE dropped the all WCW inductee's this year.

Thinking of that past WCW idea I was fooled into thinking that WWE was about to announce Sting as the first inductee. I never thought they would inducte HBK this soon considering it hasn't been a full year yet since he retired.

[The Dark Vampire]

Maybe they will still do some WCW stars it would won't be purely a WCW Hall Of Fame

[Sutter Cane]

Wasn't Ric Flair also inducted before he retired from his WWE career, too? I think it ended the night after he was inducted, but whatever.

[The Dark Vampire]

For the WCW thing anyway with the exception of Sting how many major WCW stars is there who couldn't be inducted based on their WWE careers anyway

Nash
Hall
Luger
Booker T
The Steiner Brothers
even Arn Anderson -Vader and at a push Goldberg

Could all be inducted into the WWE section

[Autobotsdie]

For some odd reason when Lawler said the roof would come off the place when they annouced who it was going to be I automatically thought the Rock was gong be announced since they already put Austin in HoF.

[pa®tci]

I hoped they will wait at least one more year and I am not finding it right for him to lead the class in the WCW year. I mean HBK is my MOST favorite wrestler EVER, but this I just don't find right. Otherwise I am really happy for him (oh! That Sweet Chin Music on del Rio!) it was an really emotional moment on RAW.

[The Dream Master]

Have they even confirmed that this is supposed to be the "WCW year?" Really, Vince is an idiot if he doesn't do something NWA-themed down in Atlanta at Wrestlemania. The Freebirds should definitely fucking be there singing about Badstreet, Atlanta GA.

[WesReviews]

The Freebirds should definitely fucking be there singing about Badstreet, Atlanta GA.

Baddest street in the whole USA.

[The Dream Master]

I don't even think The Freebirds are in the HOF, which is fucking nuts. They have to be inducted this year. Perfect fit. Have Kevin Von Erich induct them.

Goddamn, Vince, I just booked your shit for you.

[The Dark Vampire]

In the ring, "Bullet" Bob Armstrong carved out distinction as a tough, working-class hero who would never back down from a fight. Outside of it, he raised four boys who would carry on his legacy proudly. In both respects, he has been revered as a man of honor.

Born in the Atlanta suburb of Marietta, Ga., in the autumn of 1939, Armstrong craved action from a young age. In his teens, he served in the United States Marine Corps in Korea. When his service ended, he became a firefighter. But his dream was always to enter the ring and he did so beginning in the mid-60s. Armstrong was by no means an overnight success, but he was hardworking and dedicated and by the end of the decade he'd built a strong fan following in the South.

The crowds who lined up to watch the grappler in arenas throughout Alabama and Georgia saw something of themselves in Armstrong. He wasn't the biggest man in the ring and he wasn't flashy, but he had tenacity. It was this “never say die” spirit that helped Armstrong persevere when a weightlifting accident nearly disfigured him. Instead of sulking on the sidelines, he pulled on a mask and became "The Bullet." His popularity only grew.

What endeared Armstrong with his fans the most was the fact that he was a true southerner. Although the talented competitor was often lured by big paydays “up north,” he was too much of a good old boy to be tempted by the bright lights of New York City or Chicago. He made his greatest mark in promotions like Southeastern Championship Wrestling and Georgia Championship Wrestling. It was where he felt at home and where he felt connected to the people.

A dedicated family man, Armstrong and his beloved wife, Gail, raised four sons — Brad, Scott, Steve and Brian. Physical like their father, the boys would all grow up to become sports-entertainers. Brian is best known as "The Road Dogg" Jesse James, a former member of DX and one of the most popular Superstars of WWE’s “Attitude Era.” Brad and Steve both found success in World Championship Wrestling. Scott was a WCW competitor as well and later made his mark as one of WWE’s top officials. All of the Armstrong boys are highly respected as talented performers by their peers, which shouldn't come as a surprise. The Bullet trained all of them. Over the years, Armstrong also had the opportunity to team with each of his sons and won championships with them on many occasions.

Amazingly, The Bullet still gets in the ring with his sons to this day. Although he’s understandably slowed a bit with age, the 71-year-old can lace up the boots and dish out a Georgia Jaw Breaker when he needs to. It's proof that the Southern man is still as tough as nails and more than ready to claim his well-deserved spot in the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2011.

Goddamn, Vince, I just booked your shit for you.
Quoted for truth. I've got nothing but love for the Freebirds & Von Erichs. Weren't the 'Fabulous' Freebirds the first wrestlers with theme music intros?

I grew up in Texas watching the WCCW. We moved to Maryland in '84 and somebody was talking about Hulk Hogan. I was like, "who the hell is Hulk Hogan?" :shyface:

[The Dark Vampire]

I wonder if Bret Hart will induct her and talk about their "Sunny Days" together? :p

if the rumours are true if they got everybody up who had Sunny Days with her they would have a list bigger then the WM attendance crowd (I also read that Chris liked to watch)

[Brett H.]

Just ask Sabu...

[Uncle Hoody]

Weren't the 'Fabulous' Freebirds the first wrestlers with theme music intros?

Gorgeous George in the 50s came out to music.

[The Dark Vampire]

Yet Hogan still claims the whole idea was his

[Monkey]

Gorgeous George in the 50s came out to music.
Really? Learn something new every day.

Yet Hogan still claims the whole idea was his
Hogan lives in his own world, brother. I read on Wikipedia he underwent spinal fusion surgery back in December. Hope he finally has the sense to stay out of the ring.

So there's a selection panel, but Vince can veto anybody no matter what the vote? (I'm a little fuzzy on the details). If so, it reminds me of UFC: Ultimate 100 Greatest Fights; fans voted on their favorites yet some of the best matches weren't listed because the fighters pissed off Dana White or left the UFC on bad terms.

When you the man, you get to write history (and annihilate credibility).

[The Dream Master]

I believe the Freebirds were the first to come out to like rock music and shit, and it sort of led to everyone doing it. Sgt. Slaughter also claims to have introduced the idea of entrance themes to the elder McMahon too, I believe.

But in terms of an entire territory having themes, I'm sure WCCW was the first, probably because it might be the best territory of all time.

WWE is proud to announce the newest member of the 2011 WWE Hall of Fame — comedian and game show host Drew Carey. The WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony presented by THQ’s "WWE All Stars" will take place at the Phillips Arena on Saturday, April 2 and the one-hour TV special will air Monday, April 4 at 8/7c on USA Network.

Drew Carey is the latest member of the celebrity wing of the WWE Hall of Fame, joining the likes of Pete Rose, Bob Uecker and William “Refrigerator” Perry. Other members of the 2011 WWE Hall of Fame Class include “The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels, “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, “Bullet” Bob Armstrong and the original WWE Diva, Sunny.

Carey established his place in WWE history as a surprise entrant in the 2001 Royal Rumble. However, Carey’s fortunes quickly turned, when the massive WWE Superstar Kane entered the ring, prompting Carey to eliminate himself from the match.

Carey, a former United States Marine Reservist, is the host of “The Price Is Right” and star of “The Drew Carey Show” and “Whose Line Is It Anyway?”. Carey will lead a cast of improvisation all-stars, including Ryan Styles, Colin Mochrie, Greg Proops, Brad Sherwood and Kathy Kinney, in the new series “Drew Carey’s Improv-A-Ganza,” which premieres April 11 at 8 pm ET/PT on GSN. Each episode will showcase a half-hour of improvised sketch comedy complete with audience participation.

His back was gone before that the day of the match he spent the whole day laying flat on his back with ice on it in his locker room (he didn't normally have a personal one but that day was different )

It was the chokeslam on the casket at Royal Rumble what blew it out it was mistimed/mis aimed

Say what you want about how HBK was as a person at that time to say he could barely walk he did put on a good match at WM14 then taking the Tyson bump have to credit him for that

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



TNA IMPACT WRESTLING Star Ric Flair® to Attend WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony

Flair Confirms He Will be Present in Miami When the Four Horsemen Receive Their Hall of Fame Honor

CHARLOTTE, NC – (March 27, 2012) International celebrity the Nature Boy® Ric Flair is set to become the only wrestler in history to be inducted into the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Hall of Fame twice. Flair’s dominant 1980s wrestling group, the Four Horsemen, known to be the greatest in ring performers of all time, will be granted their seat in the Hall of Fame at a ceremony in Miami, FL on March 31st, the day before Wrestlemania XXVIII. Flair will be inducted along-side fellow members of the Four Horsemen: Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Barry Windham, and J.J. Dillon.

The news of Flair’s second induction was followed by a firestorm of controversy. Questions flew about whether Flair would attend the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony as he is currently under contract with Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling. Understanding what a huge honor this is for Flair, TNA is graciously supporting him in the decision to attend the Hall of Fame ceremony alongside his fellow inductees. “Being inducted once was one of the greatest accomplishments of my career, so I’m humbled and honored to be recognized again. I wouldn’t miss the ceremony for the world,” says Flair.



TNA President Dixie Carter says, “We are proud of Ric’s many accomplishments and contributions he has made to the world of professional wrestling and beyond. We wish to congratulate him on yet another honor he truly deserves.”

Flair, a 16-time World Heavyweight Champion, was inducted individually into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2008. On becoming a two-time inductee his agent Melinda Morris Zanoni of Legacy Talent and Entertainment says, “We are all so proud to be watching Ric continue to make history. There will never be an athlete more deserving of wearing two Hall of Fame rings than Ric Flair.”

For more information on Ric Flair go to www.ricflair.com, follow him on Facebook: Ric Flair, The Nature Boy, or on Twitter: @RicFlairNatrBoy. Flair is currently with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. TNA airs Thursday nights (9/8c) on Spike TV with monthly 3- hour Per-Per-View events.

There was a issue to if TNA would let him go but I guess they must of come to an agreement.

though I bet TNA use the fact Flair is the only wrestler in history to be inducted into the HOF twice as a storyline it's not like that haven't used the WWE HOF as a storyline in the past.

But I do think now Flair is in twice others will be HBK will be put in as part of DX (once HHH is in solo first) Bret will get in again as part of The Hart Foundation I guess it's a good idea so they can use a major name twice (I suppose they are running out of major names now)

Edit to add

Hogan in again as part of the NWO (that is when Hogan & Vince have that few months every few years when they make up or at least pretend to to get what they want from each other)

I do think the NWO will go in sooner or later they are to big apart of wrestling history not to
