[1994-05-22-WCW-Slamboree] Legends ceremony

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Harley Race, The Crusher, Ernie Ladd, The Assassin, Ole Anderson, Dick the Bruiser are inducted in a really classy ceremony - the best of the Slamboree ones.

Was a nice ceremony but they are not given enough time with it only being a segment on PPV. Race gets booed because of his current role in WCW. WWE gets this done right these days by giving members the whole evening. Philly fans behave for the most part.

This is a classy ceremony but should have been given it's own time slot on a show or something. This was okay though.

I thought this was really well done and short of having each guy speak, felt like the perfect amount of time. Another thing I appreciated was how valued the world title was because when Gordon announced that Race lost the belt the last time in 1983, the fans starting whooooing before he said Flair’s name. Really good class of inductees.

This is classic WCW because the plaques are pretty nice.

 

But then, I guess The Assassin didn't show his plaque because they accidentally made 2 Harley Race ones and he didn't get one made for him.

Really well done, much better than the WWF would do at the same time until they got into the business of nostlagia and buying out wrestling's history and made the Hof a legit big time ceremony.

Has anyone ever been to the WCW hall of fame at the CNN Center? Do photos exist? I wonder what's in that room today....

Probably the Atlanta Thrashers Hall of Fame instead.

Well-done, well-produced ceremony. I can't help but shudder to think how this would have gone over had they continued this into the late '90s. Just one year later the entire thing would seemingly just be a set-up for the Angelo Poffo attack.
