shakla Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 The thing that bothered me about the Lita video on RAW was current Divas like Summer Rae and Naomi talking about what a "pioneer" she was. I doubt either of them even knew who Lita was 10 years ago.Summer Rae was seeking out Kyoko Inoue videos on her own in developmental. That's cool, didn't know that. I know there was a story about her wanting to study Missy Hyatt not too long ago. I watched the Lita video again, it wasn't as bad, no one called her a "pioneer". Just hope Steph doesn't induct her. Don't need her corporate robot speech she did with Trish last year. I know DDP inducting Jake (if it happens) will work out, but I'm not sure how many casual fans know of their connection. More than a few will wonder why the "diamond cutter guy" is doing the speech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackToBionic Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Yeah, DDP has no trouble selling what he's doing. And hey...rightfully so, he's cleaned up the two biggest messes in wrestling so I think he has earned the right to say YRG 800 times in every interview for eternity.

Strummer Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Summer Rae also bases her current character on Missy Hyatt from the 80s. After Dusty encouraged her to do so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Hall should go in with Nash. Maybe Waltman too.They could probably headline a HOF. Michaels and Hunter should induct them. Maybe Hogan, but I don't think Hunter would let anyone else do it. Alternatively I guess you could put them in separately and then induct the Outsiders as a unit to get Hogan in again.

cheapshot Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 The Outsiders were just Hall and Nash though I thought, that was the tag name they used? If Hall is going in surely they'd put him in the same year as Nash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovert Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Edge has been announced for Wrestlecon so he is a good shout to induct Lita. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMJ Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 ^ Ya' think so? While I'm not doubting it, part of me wonders if Edge is going to want to induct an ex-girlfriend who, while doing wonders for his career, may also remind him of his second divorce. I don't know - wrestling is a strange world, but to most normal human beings, I'd imagine that this would be a bit awkward...especially for Edge's new baby mama, Beth Pheonix.

Well they worked together every day for another 18 months after that, and as far as can be ascertained they are still on friendly terms, so I doubt it would really be an issue.

Yeah, remember, they had already broken up by the time they became an on-screen couple. Having said that, it should be Trish Stratus. I mentioned this in a BR article this week, but remember: They feuded or teamed off and on for pretty much their entire WWE careers. Their first big PPV match was against each other (Fully Loaded intergender trios match in 2000), they were partners for the "She's All That" knockoff story and the tag against Christian and Jericho, they main evented Raw against each other in a famous match, Lita was Trish's retirement match opponent, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are true contemporaries and their full-time WWE runs almost entirely criss-cross, timeline wise. Trish already being a hall member helps. Just hope they don't have AJ induct her. There could be a slight chance of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bix Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 No way it's AJ for obvious reasons. Feel a little weird about Hall probably going in this year since comes off as doing it while they can trust both him and Jake are sober. It's understandable, but it feels kind of morbid.

Anyway, both Edge and Trish are good shouts. Even Matt and Jeff if it were possible. All four were strongly associated with her over the years. The safe money is on Trish though. Outside bet: Danny Doring and Roadkill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hall is going in surely they'd put him in the same year as Nash? You could induct "the nWo" but the problem there is that everyone on WCW's roster was nWo at one time or another plus one of those race car drivers.

Matt D Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 I think the Outsiders can include Hogan. It was sort of how they were referred to at the very beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
