Robert S Posted March 20, 2017 Report Posted March 20, 2017 So is this the full class now? There is still a "celebrity wing" inductee missing. Quote
fakeplastictrees Posted March 21, 2017 Report Posted March 21, 2017 Aside from Beth's inclusion, this is a pretty solid and well deserving class. Quote
hammerva Posted March 21, 2017 Report Posted March 21, 2017 Eric Bischoff is now announced to induct DDP. This makes perfect sense for wrestling and non wrestling reasons So we now have Eric Bischoff and Jim Cornette as presenters on the same show with Paul Heyman probably in the crowd. If someone can figure out how to use Vince Russo then hell will literally be one big ice cube Quote
El-P Posted March 21, 2017 Report Posted March 21, 2017 You don't say. This is pretty surreal. I'd rather have Nash or Austin introduce DDP though. Quote
SteveJRogers Posted March 21, 2017 Author Report Posted March 21, 2017 So is this the full class now? There is still a "celebrity wing" inductee missing. Since bringing back the HOF as a concept, they didn't have one in 2005, and from 2007-2009. I'd like to know if they are going to continue with the Legacy Inductees like they did last year. Quote
SirEdger Posted March 22, 2017 Report Posted March 22, 2017 I think I read that they will have another batch of Legacy Inductees this year. Quote
sek69 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Posted March 24, 2017 Legacy Class: Rikidozan Judy Grable Toots Mondt Farmer Burns Luther Lindsay Dr. Jerry Graham June Byers Haystacks Calhoun Quote
The Chief Posted March 24, 2017 Report Posted March 24, 2017 I seriously thought Haystacks Calhoun was already in. Pretty good group there. Quote
Al Posted March 25, 2017 Report Posted March 25, 2017 I thought they should've inducted Jerry alongside Eddie. Quote
Coffey Posted March 25, 2017 Report Posted March 25, 2017 Haystacks Calhoun? HE WAS A MOUNTAIN OF A MAN! Quote
El-P Posted March 25, 2017 Report Posted March 25, 2017 Can't believe there were two workers named Haystacks. What are the odds ? Quote
Robert S Posted March 25, 2017 Report Posted March 25, 2017 The same as there being two Steve(n) Regals? Obviously one was the first (in this case Haystacks Calhoun) and the other (or rather promoters) copied the name. According to Wikipeda Giant Haystacks was at one point even called Haystacks Calhoun.

stro Posted March 25, 2017 Report Posted March 25, 2017 I'm struck by the 2010 class, which had Bob Uecker and Antonio Inoki chatting it up next to Gorgeous George's widow while having Bruce Hart in jeans and sunglasses at the end of the stage. Quote
Al Posted March 25, 2017 Report Posted March 25, 2017 It's usually not an accident. How many permutations of Gorgeous George did we see in regional wrestling? Ditto any wrestler named Man Mountain. A wrestler would become popular and there's a dozen imitators. Especially in the U.K. where you literally had Greg Valentine and Black Jack Mulligan. Quote
sek69 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 Robert Gibson might have already said more words in his speech than he did in his whole JCP run. Quote
flyonthewall2983 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 The camera cut to someone clearly bored in the audience for a few seconds during Cornette's speech Quote

sek69 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 Grandpa Ricky Morton sounds like the most fun family vacation ever. Quote

Jmare007 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Posted April 1, 2017 The camera cut to someone clearly bored in the audience for a few seconds during Cornette's speech It was Reigns Quote
