JRH Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 So if the spoiler list is accurate, who inducts them? My guess: DDP: Jake and Hall Rude: Austin or Heyman (i'd like to see Jesse Ventura, but i dont think WWE trusts him with a live mic) Christian: Edge Natural Disasters: Jimmy Hart IRS: Dibiase Regal: Not sure who could induct him. It'd be nice to have whoever the current NXT champion is by that time to induct him as a tie-in to NXT. Heck, if push comes to shove, they could even get Bill Dundee (who managed him in WCW) to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersonic Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Is Vader being held until next year? I guess it makes sense since his biggest match in the Foley feud, that being at Halloween Havoc 1993, was in NOLA. It's obvious that Foley would be the best speaker, even more than Sting.

Oh the idea of Jesse having in sort of legit involvement with WWE in 2017 would be amazing especially since he is completely bat-shit insane with the conspiracy stuff now.

SteveJRogers Posted January 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 You're right. I'm actually spooked by this. For years, I thought Christian won. Am I thinking of another match or different DDP result? Mandela Effect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I'd imagine HHH would induct Regal since HHH has been giving credit to Regal for his career for like a decade now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Dragon could also induct Regal. Their relationship is well documented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Or Malone.... or David Arquette..... I suspect it will be Jake when it is said and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye12 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Too bad Dusty passed away, he would've been great inducting DDP. But Jake is a fine choice if they go that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye12 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Well they did Sting last year and Angle this year, if they continue to induct the TNA Hall of Famers, the Dudley Boyz should be next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Ok, so that answers the "headliner" question for sure. Â I will be a little surprised if he works Mania, but not shocked. Personally, it isn't high on my wish list or anything, but I can see them booking him against Shane or Cena. I can also see them making him a special Ref for Goldberg v Brock (ugh) or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â LOL! At least Angle and Dudleys are legit from the WWE perspective, with Sting being one of those "we're trying to be all inclusive to those whom we have video libraries of" picks (though to be fair, a number of the WCW HOFers weren't exactly JCP/Georgia/Florida stalwarts, so there is precedence in a promotion wanting to induct legends in regardless to time spent in promotions/territories the Hall supposedly is set up to honor). It will be one of those hell frozen over days if Jeff Jarrett or the Hebners ever get inducted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye12 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Shane is a good pick. If Lesnar was a better speaker and they didn't try to keep his aura about him, he'd be a good pick also. Or Edge, if Christian isn't going in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveJRogers Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 BTW, to finish up the TNA HOF inductees (Sting, Angle, Not Dudleys, Jarrett, Hebner and Gail Kim), I can see Kim as a future "class padding" women's division pick. There's been worse picks. Â Back on Kurt, I wonder if this was what made them push so hard for the TNA library last month. Sure they have more than enough for Angle's career, but those 7-8 years in TNA do have stuff worth spotlighting (Samoa Joe, Main Event Mafia stuff, etc).

cm funk Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I could maybe see Brisco or Patterson inducting Kurt. It wouldn't be my pick but I could see HBK do it too  Off-topic......Radiohead was a huge band in the late 90's into the mid 2000's. Maybe it's my age (35) but to me at their peak they were much bigger than Motorhead. I saw them live in 2001-2002 where they legit filled a 70 thousand plus venue. Don't think Motorhead ever did that, and I'm a fan of both bands so this isn't a potshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cm funk Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Heck, maybe Austin could induct Kurt. They had a great run together in 01 and you know WWE wants to get Austin involved at WM every year, so that would make sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
