Hall of Fame 2024

[flyonthewall2983]

First year without Vince.

Im stanning for Haku to get in

[JRH]

Considering they're selling merch of them, I think Ken Shamrock and Sid are locks to get in.

[sek69]

I'm down for anything that gets Sid on TV in 2024

[KawadaSmile]

Shamrock, Sid and Batista would be my bets

[Robert S]

Considering that the WWE somewhat seems to work together with AJPW (for now), is there anyone closely related to All Japan (in 2024) who could be introducted? Tajiri did not wrestle for All Japan in 2023, maybe Kensuke and/or Hokuto via Nakajima?

Could always induct Baba

That's one way to get Motoko over.

[flyonthewall2983]

Someone from ECW surely maybe Heyman

Motoko died a couple of years ago. Anyway, if they introduce Baba, it would be as part of the legacy wing.

A whole 30 seconds on television

The WWE HoF was the only modern product I would watch 10 years ago. And it's probably the reason I got back into wrestling at the Mainia in New Orleans. I think WM30. 

I looked forward to the night before WM and the big HoF production. And it's great for the old tymers. 

Then they made it into a joke in the ring. And super short. They need to go back to the big stage production. 

It really meant something for the veterans to thank ppl and talk about their journey. Remember Larry Zybysko. Peacock ruined everything. I miss the WWE Network. 

I want another season of Legends House before the last of them are gone. 

[JRH]

With Piper, Patterson, Okerlund, and Finkel sadly no longer with us, you'd have to hire some new legends for a second season of Legend's House (you could still have Duggan, Hillbilly Jim, Atlas, and Jimmy Hart). Maybe get Tito Santana, Ricky Steamboat, Mike Rotundo, and DDP. As for this year's HOF, they'll probably want to get guys who have relatively been scandal-free, so we could get the aforementioned Rotundo, Slick, The Natural Disasters, the Wyatt Family, Ken Shamrock, and Sid, possibly Batista as a headliner if they can get him (if he doesnt want to show up due to the whole situation, just go with Rock).

[flyonthewall2983]

Paul Heyman the first inductee announced. In Philadelphia this could be a hell of a speech.

[JRH]

Bull Nakano was just announced on Twitter/X (I cant link to it though).

[KawadaSmile]

The GOAT

[Timbo Slice]

What did Kyle O’Reilly know wearing that shirt

[NintendoLogic]

Bull was more successful in the States, but Aja Kong was better overall. Hopefully she also gets in someday.

[pmo]

Yeah thing is they have more footage of Bull Nakano and she even showed up when Dump had her brief run so it covers a few eras

 

 

[JRH]

I wonder if Heyman will be the headliner, or if that one is yet to be named.

[NintendoLogic]

I figured Mike Rotunda would have gotten in as IRS before going in with the US Express.

[Timbo Slice]

I like it given it seems like a great way to pay tribute to Bray. 

[SirEdger]

That's also how I feel. It looks like they decided Heyman will be the headliner (in Philly, rightfully so) and they'll likely hold off on inducting Bray until next year. It's a sureshot that both Mike Rotunda & Barry Windham will have a few words about Bray on that very special night.

[JRH]

Muhammad Ali is going in. Considering his importance to wrestling it's long overdue (too bad that he's not alive to give the speech though).

[JRH]

Thunderbolt Patterson is also going in. Huh, that's an odd choice as he's not really that well known to modern fans (guess this proves that HHH really is in charge of the HOF).
