It would be a definite styles clash, but I'd like to see what Steamboat could have done with Raven (either in ECW or WCW).

And even though I didnt see it, apparently he gave a rambling, incoherent speech. Sigh, sometimes I hate being right.

There's also the option that he decides to go back to the WWF around 1996 or so so he can wrestle Austin and Vader again (as well as matches against Owen, Bulldog, or even Shawn Michaels).

I'm kind of more worried about Rodman with a live mic. Hopefully they give him a scripted speech and he sticks to that.

So here's the full list of inductees: Demolition AJ Styles Dennis Rodman Sid Vicious (Legacy wing) Bad News Brown (Legacy Wing) Hogan vs Andre, Wrestlemania 3 (match induction) Stephanie McMahon (headliner) Kind of upset Sid and Bad News arent getting full inductions, but at least their families will be there.

So apparently the WWE is considering NOT having WM in Saudi next year due to what's going on in the Middle East.

Just finished Larry Zbyszko's book Adventures In Larryland. Sadly, it's not reccomended, as he rushes through most of it, while the Bruno feud does get a decent amount of coverage, he doesnt really go that much into detail about the rest of his career, though we do get some interesting stuff about him being a pilot.

I assume Bret Hart inducts them (Fuji and Jimmy Valiant are no longer with us, and their most well-known feud was with the Harts).

AJ Styles has just been announced and got a pretty epic video, wouldnt be surprised to see him as the headliner.

James Dixon is contiuing his Titan Trilogy by now working on the WWF's 1992-94 period. As someone who enjoyed that series I may have to get that one soon.

Wouldnt be surprised if they save him (and Rock) for Saudimania next year.

While we're on the subject of Apter mag columns, is there a list of everyone profiled in The Wrestler's X-Ray section (where a panel of past wrestlers would give their "opinions" on various wrestlers (of course, the opinions were obviously not written by the actual wrestlers, you could tell because Bruno Sammartino's comments would often use the term "doggone it").

As for predictions for the rest, as I speculated on another board: Demolition Haku Saturn (sounds odd, but they did give him a best of playlist on the WWE vault recently) Steve McMichael (can double as a celebrity induction) Bam Bam Bigelow (finally) Legacy Wing: Ox Baker, Tony Garea, Ken Patera, Wahoo McDaniel

Technically the Outsiders ARE in the Hall of Fame. Nash and Hall were both inducted seperately, and the NWO was inducted as a unit (and Nash and Hall never teamed up outside the NWO AFAIK).

So apparently Jacques Rougeau was interviewed for an episode about Ray Traylor (personally, I think Jacques himself merits an episode more, you've got the backstage fight with Dynamite Kid and the controversy over the Mountie gimmick).

Anyone read the Barry Darsow book? I'm considering picking up that one.

Dusty Rhodes vs Mr Perfect (the only time they ever wrestled each other):

Some of the fans do make timestamps in the comments, still, the uploaders themselves should do that, especially if they slip in rarities.

Those are behind paywalls though, the Vault, while it is monetized via ads, is free, so it may be different.

Yeah, I read that most of the library is just going to be on the Vault channel (sadly, they wont post any events that had Benoit, just highlights, even though they could just edit Benoit out, but then you miss out on certain Royal Rumbles and WW3 Battle Royals). It would be nice if they could post it in some order though, right now it's like digging through a bin of tapes.

This would be a great way to post short runs in companies. They could do it for stuff like Owen in WCW or Barry Windham's stint as the Widowmaker.

I dont know, I think Ric Flair's final match (I mean the tag with Andrade vs Lethal and Jarrett, not the Shawn one) was pretty bad. At least Cena was healthy here.

I remember that one of the Best of the WWF tapes had a match from Kuwait involving Mr. Fuji vs some blonde guy (since the commentary was in Arabic, there was no way to tell who the blonde wrestler was). I wonder if that match was from this tour. EDIT: The tape in question is Best of the WWF volume 16.

It's wild that Cena's entire push can be traced back to impersonating Vanilla Ice on a Smackdown Halloween skit.
