Johnny Sorrow Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 As far as something shameful that's Hart related, the new episode of the Crime In Sports podcast is on Teddy Hart. The hosts are comics, so they make these shows fun but I had no idea the amount of shit Teddy Hart did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRH Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 According to a commercial they aired on Smackdown, Ozzy Osbourne is also going to be inducted. Pretty sure this must have been a request from Triple H ("If I cant get Lemmy, might as well get a guy who sang some songs he wrote").

C.S. Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 The Bellas were forced to cut their speech to 3-5 minutes. #GiveBellasAChance No inductors or induction speeches either. Instead of a pointlessly bloated 2020-21 HOF with double the honorees for no reason whatsoever, they should've just kept last year's class and been done with it. Not like it has to be annual anyway - there was no one for years after Andre. This kind of sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your general point, but after they inducted André in 93 (to form the HoF), they had yearly ceremonies until (and including) 1996. At that point they stopped doing the HoF ceremonies until 2004. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling it the 2020-2021 Hall of Fame and inducting the same people + a new headliner to replace Batista would've been fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Legends inductees: 2020 Ray Stevens Brickhouse Brown Steve Williams Baron Michele Leone Gary Hart 2021 Pez Whatley Dick the Bruiser Ethel Johnson Buzz Sawyer Paul Boesch Their minority selections are getting bizarre (Johnson excepted, her story is worth highlighting).

Robert S Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 It's weird when you have people as part of the regular inductions (Hall, Nash, Hogan) that were born before some people of the "legacy wing" inductions (Dr. Death, Buzz, Brickhouse). I mean Dr. Death was around during the Attitude era both in WWF and WCW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 I can't get past them calling Buzz " Bulldog". Was that his nickname during his blip of a run in the WWF in the 80's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Yes, because they had Mad Dog Vachon at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 I would assume that if they hadn't inducted Mad Dog Vachon already, he would've been included in a Legacy class at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infamously in fact, with both the Brawl For All being structured around him winning, and in WCW mocking Jim Ross! Part of me wonders if it’s just meant for deceased performers, but two people were inducted in 2019 that are still living as of today, and clearly Davey Boy Smith getting in shows they still let the deceased in the main “wing” as a solo act (as opposed to part of the Bulldogs tag, or the 1997 Harts faction). So maybe it’s more about the visibility/desire to show up, of descendants, or at least people willing to present them, as well as adding names to a HOF class?

NintendoLogic Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Two members of the legacy wing (Hisashi Shinma and Joe Cohen) are still alive. It's really just for people they don't think are marketable enough for a full induction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much what I said Also of note, three “years” in a row the Warrior Award has kind of “pivoted,” sort of, to what Warrior said in his speech about employees of the company, more so than the inspiring stories of someone in the fanb...I mean WWE Universe.

Blehschmidt Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 They really made sure to get the WWE Speak into the show this year. I think every single person (except Molly Holly) mentioned the WWE Universe in their speech at least once, and the term "Sports Entertainment Industry" may be my least favorite thing ever. I also had to laugh at Hogan saying it was the "WWE fans" that made the nWo what it was. This company never fails to amaze with it's bullshit.

Well, to be fair, a case can be made that a solid percentage of those who were brought to the product that summer of ‘96 were lapsed WWF, Rock n Wrestling connection era fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert S Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 After hiring the wrong one-legged man, scouting the wrong Japanese guy (I think that happened twice) now showing the wrong black women wrestler from the 50ies? Is it a coincidence that this happened less then a month after the return of Johnny Ace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
