goodhelmet Posted April 1, 2015 Report Posted April 1, 2015 Shit, don't ever do that to me again!!!!! Quote
Strummer Posted April 13, 2015 Report Posted April 13, 2015 so Dave confirmed the PWI report that Eva Marie was originally supposed to host the event. Has to be a typical Kevin Dunn "get the old guys outta here and replace em with a pretty girl" deal. Maybe they were filming an angle for total divas and had no intention of using her Quote
Strummer Posted April 13, 2015 Report Posted April 13, 2015 also the company was unhappy on how long the show went and will make all efforts to make sure it lasts no longer than 3 hours next year. And Vince apparently didn't like Madusa swearing and Shawn going off script Quote
goc Posted April 13, 2015 Report Posted April 13, 2015 There is the same story EVERY YEAR about how the show went too long and they are going to make it shorter next time. Quote
flyonthewall2983 Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Posted November 11, 2015 Early prediction for next year: Haku. Quote
Judy Bagwell Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 Bruce hart if only they had pushed him instead of Owen in 94... Quote
cheapshot Posted November 15, 2015 Report Posted November 15, 2015 Early prediction for next year: Haku. I know he won't go in as Meng, but I much preferred that run to his Haku run in WWF. Quote
shakla Posted November 15, 2015 Report Posted November 15, 2015 Agreed. Wonder what percentage of his video package would have WCW stuff if elected. I would bet 10% at most, even tho he had some memorable "spots" there. Quote
Sidebottom Posted November 30, 2015 Report Posted November 30, 2015 Tatanka has signed a Legends deal apparently, so wouldn't be surprised to see him go in. Expect moaning from people who think it's a legitimate HOF and not just media content. Quote
goc Posted November 30, 2015 Report Posted November 30, 2015 They put my man Bob Armstrong in so they're just fine in my book. Quote
Loss Posted November 30, 2015 Report Posted November 30, 2015 I have no problem with Tatanka going in, but I anxiously await whatever revisionism they have in store for us as far as his impact. Quote
Matt D Posted November 30, 2015 Report Posted November 30, 2015 "He's alive, hasn't been in the news negatively for a few years, and more people know who he is than Danny Hodge." Quote
C.S. Posted November 30, 2015 Report Posted November 30, 2015 I have no problem with Tatanka going in, but I anxiously await whatever revisionism they have in store for us as far as his impact. Â Tatanka had a long undefeated streak and later one of the few genuinely shocking heel turns in the company (even though I saw it coming) + he beat Luger when wins and losses still mattered and Luger was still a big deal. I was never a Tatanka fan, but he did have an impact for 2-3 years. Quote
Coffey Posted November 30, 2015 Report Posted November 30, 2015 If they talk about Tatanka, we better get a Ludvig Borga name drop, damn it! Quote

Hopefully the Fabulous Freebirds, and maybe someone like Stan Hansen. Quote
Gregor Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 If this happens, I hope they induct him as "Native American Tatanka." Quote
SteveJRogers Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 If this happens, I hope they induct him as "Native American Tatanka." BUFF-a-LOOO Quote
flyonthewall2983 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Posted December 1, 2015 How many guys are on Legends contracts but not in? Quote
The Chief Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 How many guys are on Legends contracts but not in? Â Off the top of my head, Hillbilly, Vader, Sid, I'm sure there's plenty more. Quote
SteveJRogers Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 Why the heck isn't Jim in? Beyond Koko/Bushwacker/James Dudley/Johnny Rodz logic, does he have a case? Quote
Matt D Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 Loyal Company guy, fondly remembered from the cartoon, spent another decade as a Coliseum Video lynchpin, and then another after that as a goodwill ambassador. One of the iconic figures of the rock'n'wrestling era. Big name value from fans of a certain age. Â All of those things are more important than wrestling skill, titles, etc, for the WWE hall of fame. Quote
PhilTLL Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 Beyond Koko/Bushwacker/James Dudley/Johnny Rodz logic, does he have a case? Â The first part of your sentence answers the second. He doesn't need one. It's the WWE HOF. And, yeah, everything that Matt D said while I clicked on another window and forgot to hit Submit, ha. Quote
flyonthewall2983 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Posted December 2, 2015 I'd take the Bushwhackers out of that. Their Hall of Fame speech was Hall of Fame-worthy in and of itself quite honestly. Quote
