flyonthewall2983 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 I wonder if that means Hunter inducts him. That's a no-brainer. Reading the article, it makes the most sense. Unless they can attract someone like Zbyszko or Graham to do it, Paul seems the obvious choice. And frankly, he kind of deserves that much for essentially making this happen.

I'm glad it's happened if only for the history to be out now and not swept under the carpet or an elephant in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonthewall2983 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 This is going to be a big coup for their PR if they milk this the right way. Bruno's comments on the Wellness Program particularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdw Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Kind of cool that they're getting both Bob and Bruno in there leading into the big show in the NY area. Need to give Trip some credit for making this happen. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Totally agree. I really wish they would put Ivan in this year too though that is wishful thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bix Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Ivan's always been kind of a weird omission. Is it possible he's someone who they've reached out to who turned them down over religious objections to content or whatever? Very very happy to have my HOF ticket sitting in front of me.

Mini Bennett Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Initially I thought Mick Foley going on last was a lock, but with Bruno now getting inducted is it fair to say that definitely is not the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Initially I thought Mick Foley going on last was a lock, but with Bruno now getting inducted is it fair to say that definitely is not the case? I would assume Foley was the backup plan as the HOF "main event" if Bruno hadn't agreed, but now with the group they have now (and they aren't done for this year yet) they've kind of shot their load for a while with top level entries. The only top level guy left it seems would be Edge since Rock's going to probably be around to some extent for another year or so probably. *edit* lol, brain cramp on my part forgetting Edge was already inducted. Who else do they have left who would qualify for a big name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruiserBrody Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 It's the 25th anniversary of one of the worst days of my child hood. No doubt I was balling by the time the 2nd ref showed up to confirm the screw job. I still get chills watching this and I even distinctly remember the little 10 second teasers the WWF ran showing Hogan being choked out by Andre while Hogan's voice over plotted revenge...oh to be 5 1/2 again... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRG0Q6Dy7Wk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Savage, but he's dead so it wouldn't be the same. Lanny Poffo's also stated time and again that Randy wanted the Poffo family (Randy, Lanny and Angelo) all inducted like the Von Erichs. It makes me wonder if this year wouldn't be a bad time to do that, if they come to an agreement of course. In the past, if Savage was alive and accepting/speaking, it would be a main event induction, but Lanny? Not so much (hell, Lanny himself says this). However, the Poffo family induction wouldn't be a bad midcard induction with this HOF class being as stacked as it already is. After Bruno being confirmed yesterday, I read a great line elsewhere: If Ole ever got the call and there was a deal that he accepted, it's a sign that Vince's health is shot.
