Strummer Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheapshot Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakla Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidebottom Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 They put my man Bob Armstrong in so they're just fine in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 If they talk about Tatanka, we better get a Ludvig Borga name drop, damn it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the Fabulous Freebirds, and maybe someone like Stan Hansen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregor Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 If this happens, I hope they induct him as "Native American Tatanka." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chief Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share 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.

PhilTLL Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share 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.

flyonthewall2983 Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
