WWE Hall of Fame 2019

Who ya got?

[C.S.]

Undertaker? 

Supposedly no plans for him at WM (according to the increasingly wrong Meltzer anyway). 

[flyonthewall2983]

I like the idea of doing a whole show around just inducting Undertaker. The character is a crucial part of history and the man himself a practical institution to those who have worked there for the last 20 years now.

As a television show it badly needs to be rethought. It's one thing to have total freedom because it's your Network and not being bound by the restrictions of networks, but overkill is all the more possible if things get out of hand.

There was something floating around Twitter that claimed to be from WWE promoting some event featuring "the Hall of Famer Undertaker". I could see them really stacking the HOF this year to counter ROH running MSG.

Word on the street is that Bam Bam Bigelow is a lock to be inducted this year.

That show is already sold out and no one cares about the HOF so that seems like a waste of everyone’s time.

You actually got a laugh out of me.

[Brandon-E]

I wonder if we'll be seeing Demolition and JBL go in this year.

[flyonthewall2983]

I've got to think it's going to be a very NYC-centric class, so probably no outliers like The Midnight Express or possibly even Vader. 

[JNLister]

Cyndi Lauper should really be a lock for celebrity wing in New York.

[Ricky Jackson]

Put DeNucci in finally 

[SteveJRogers]

I can see one, or more ECW alumni like Taz, Dreamer, RVD or even Heyman himself.

[Grimmas]

They should put Sean Mooney in.

[Cornette's racket]

Christian should be in this year. He's the forgotten guy out of the TLC era who is retired and isn't in. 

[JRH]

On the subject of that era, I wonder if they'll induct Matt Hardy this year as well.

[Alucard]

Matt's been insisting lately that he's not retired and is coming back so I don't think there will be any rush there

[C.S.]

Rumor/Potential Spoiler:

Hart Foundation (Bret Hart, Jim Neidhart, and Jimmy Hart)

The tag team, not the stable, so no Owen Hart, Brian Pillman, or Davey Boy Smith.

Supposedly according to PWInsider, which I never go to because they had a rep for massive spyware years ago - no idea if that's still the case.

[WrestlingFan]

It's Vader time.

[flyonthewall2983]

I read somewhere that WWE might not make this as big a priority this year. I hope that's not the case but I somehow wouldn't be surprised after last year's show.

[SomethingSavage]

Or they could just, ya know, maybe NOT make it run 6 hours this year..?

Their run times are relentlessly punishing at this point. I don't know how (or why) anyone would keep up.

[flyonthewall2983]

I wish they'd scale it down a bit, and not just in terms of the length. Do it like they did in 2004 and in the 90's where it'd be in a ballroom somewhere with just the roster, their families, etc. It would make for better television. I could see something like this if they ever get around to actually making a building for their HOF.

[flyonthewall2983]

Very strange that there hasn't been anything official yet. Regardless of that, or if putting them in is in part to appease a grieving daughter, but The Hart Foundation definitely deserve to be in. For at least the time they were together, they were the best tag team that company had. And maybe ever had. 

[Strummer]

Sean Ross Sapp just tweeted that advertising has DX ( Chyna, HHH, Shawn, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, X Pac) going in this year  

[El-P]

With Billy Gunn signed with AEW, that one is pretty awkward. So, Chyna finally goes in the HOF ? Those gangbang videos don't bother Stephy no more I guess...
