Hall of Fame - Wrestler you think should be inducted?

by legendkillar Wed 20 Apr 2011, 12:49 pm

Hi Guys,

With Edge's retirement and a lot of people suggesting that he should be inducted into the 2012 Hall of Fame, it has lead to think about wrestlers which are not inducted at the moment and I would imagine there is a big list. For my money and probably for others I would say that the one wrestler that should be in there and isn't is Owen Hart.

What about you guys?

Owen not being there is down to his widow and nobody else.

Why? Does she blame WWE?

by Liam_Main Wed 20 Apr 2011, 1:03 pm

Trish Stratus the best WWE diva in history she deserves to be in it.Hopefully she'll be inducted this year.

Macho, Macho, Macho Man!

by Fernando Wed 20 Apr 2011, 1:04 pm

trish will be next year if believed wm will be in Toronto

by liverbnz Wed 20 Apr 2011, 1:07 pm

Macho Man and Warrior are obvious candidates although unlikely at this time.

Are Yoko and/or Demoltion in it yet? If not, they should be.

by Holymiky Wed 20 Apr 2011, 1:08 pm

The Hardy Boyz Wink

Nah jokes but Team 3D may be there eventually, not just yet though.

Lita anyone?

VADER TIME!

by Fadorock Wed 20 Apr 2011, 1:18 pm

there are the obvious ones that never will be for a number of different reasons, and i dont think anyone could argue about these....

Scoot Hall
Warrior
Jack Roberts
Owen Hart
Macho Man
Bruno Sammartino

Other than thout i would go for Team 3D, Yokozuna, Demolition

by David Tails Wed 20 Apr 2011, 1:18 pm

Angle when he finally drops out of TNA

by sodhat Wed 20 Apr 2011, 1:25 pm

Owen's widow doesn't want his name associated with the WWE or wrestling at all (difficult feat when your surname is Hart), so he won't be inducted until she relents. I recall Bret wanted him in the HoF, rightly so.

Mick Foley would be my pick. Wonder if Vince would let the whole TNA business slide...

by Mr H Wed 20 Apr 2011, 1:31 pm

Scoot Hall and Jack Roberts? That would be some afterparty!

I'd like to see Bam Bam Bigelow and Bob Backlund inducted.

by Fadorock Wed 20 Apr 2011, 1:38 pm

these are all great shouts, bam bam should defo be in there, he is one of the most agile big men i have seen wrestle. Angle is another great shout. I didnt know Foley was not already in, he should be as well.

NOW, am i right in thinking that that peice of garbage Honkey Tonk is in there?? Also why is KoKo in there as well?

by David Tails Wed 20 Apr 2011, 1:41 pm

Barry Horowitz. laughing

by Guest Wed 20 Apr 2011, 2:10 pm

If wrestlemania 29 is to be in Toronto here are some of the Canadian born wrestlers I think should be in there

Owen Hart (Obvious why he wont be)
Earthquake (John Tenta)
Trish Stratus
Edge
Dino Bravo
The Rogeuax Family
Jim Neidhart (but would probably be a part of a Hart Family induction)

Others who I feel should be in:
Brian Pillman
Yokozuna
Demolition
IRS
Arn Anderson
Tully Blanchard
Jake Roberts
Rick Rude
Davey Boy Smith

Mangers/Others
Paul Bearer
Paul Heyman
Jack Tunney

For the Celebrity Wing
Andy Kaufman
Mr T (or is he in it already?)

by theundisputedY2D2 Wed 20 Apr 2011, 2:13 pm

Personally I'd like to see WORYAH!, Savage, Owen, Davey Boy, Pillman, Foley, Vader, Roberts, Rude, Bigelow & Demolition in there. But almost all of the names mentioned here deserve a spot.

How about Mike Tyson for the celebrity wing?

by Fernando Wed 20 Apr 2011, 2:20 pm

should long serving refs be considered for the hof?

tim white for example?

Foley is on very good terms with Vince, WWE even promoted his book.

by Kay Fabe Wed 20 Apr 2011, 2:22 pm

Psycho Sid, Marty Jannetty, Brooklyn Brawler, Rick Martel, The Godfather/Kama/Papa Shango, Dynamite Kidd, The Warlord, The Barbarian, Diesel

by Kay Fabe Wed 20 Apr 2011, 2:24 pm

Celebrity wing - Muhammed Ali and Mike Tyson and Lawrence Taylor

by Guest Wed 20 Apr 2011, 2:25 pm

Celebrity Wing:

Liberace
Pete Rose
Floyd Mayweather
Snooki

by Kay Fabe Wed 20 Apr 2011, 2:38 pm

King Kong Bundy is another and Zues for the Celebrity wing

That's good, I really do hope to see him back in the WWE in some capacity some day.

Whoever called for Andy Kaufman to posthumously go into the celebrity wing, I fully endorse that!

by legendkillar Wed 20 Apr 2011, 2:58 pm

From a Diva perspective I would like to see Chyna in there.

Celebrity wing Andy Kaufman is a great shout. Either him or Pee Wee.

by David Tails Wed 20 Apr 2011, 3:53 pm

Savio Vega.

There's a theme here that I think will put WWE off, but I can't put my finger on it.

Are you kidding?! It's better for WWE if they are dead. That way they can get an inductee's 'best friend' to induct them and tailor the speech to their liking.

Hell, for Owen they'll send out Jim Neidhart and have him say "I spoke to Owen before he died and he said his accident wasn't WWE's fault".

by crippledtart Wed 20 Apr 2011, 4:00 pm

Andy Kaufman was never in WWE, just to throw that out there. I know there are non-WWE people in the Hall of Fame but I don't think there are any in the celebrity wing.

There are a lot of extremely average wrestlers' names being put forward here. IRS, Savio Vega, Dino Bravo, Warlord for example.

by theundisputedY2D2 Wed 20 Apr 2011, 4:01 pm

Crips how can you deny a place in the Hall of Fame for KWANG!?

by David Tails Wed 20 Apr 2011, 4:04 pm

Crips, surely if you saw my Barry Horrowitz reponse...you would realise not all of my posts are serious. Do you honestly think I want Savio Vega in there?

by theundisputedY2D2 Wed 20 Apr 2011, 4:21 pm

I'm not a fan of his but Lex Luger probably deserves to be in there.

"AND YOUR T-SHIRTS ARE TOO TIGHT BILLY!"

by AberdeenSteve Wed 20 Apr 2011, 5:15 pm

Some great names being mentioned here. Mick Foley would be my choice, he gave a lot to the WWE in his time there. Another one mentioned I would have in it would be Kurt Angle.

A little off topic but still on it if that makes any sense, which of the current roster can you see being future Hall of Fame inductees?

by theundisputedY2D2 Wed 20 Apr 2011, 5:31 pm

To be honest Steve I think it's a case of take your pick. There are obvious ones like the Undertaker, Triple H, John Cena, Randy Orton, Kane, Rey Mysterio & Big Show but who's to say we won't get a "Koko B. Ware moment" many years from now and someone like JTG is inducted?

by Kay Fabe Wed 20 Apr 2011, 7:12 pm

I dont think a wrestler has to be a great wrestler to be inducted to be honest

by Shifty Sat 02 Jul 2011, 8:14 pm

Bill Eadie, and Barry Darsow, sadly the hall of fame isn't really fair. Vince wont put his personal differences aside with a lot of wrestlers who deserve to be there.

by NickisBHAFC Sat 02 Jul 2011, 9:14 pm

The Rock will be inducted in at Miami

by Aaronb33 Sun 03 Jul 2011, 1:10 am

It'll never happen but I'd like to see Eric Bischoff and Paul Heyman indicted, mainly for helping create the Attitude Era.

Other than that, Mick Foley, Kurt Angle, Arn Anderson, Taker, Kane, HHH, Paul Bearer, Jimmy Hart, Jim Neidhart, Demolition should all be in, in my eyes.

by The Awesome Giz Sun 03 Jul 2011, 12:33 pm

What about JBL and Ron Simmons? APA induction would be great.

Yokozuna and Umaga are 2 who should be in soon.

Goldberg at some point maybe, I could see kamala getting in.

Big Daddy V will get in at some point, not that I'm a fan of his.

by Guest Sun 03 Jul 2011, 3:08 pm

Drew Carey!

by Ché Guerrero Sun 03 Jul 2011, 4:46 pm

Anyone think they'll induct the Bulldogs?
I suspect they will only induct Davey Boy and probably forget about Billington (Dynamite Kid)

by pauline1981 Sun 03 Jul 2011, 5:03 pm

Hulk hogan is my choise

by pauline1981 Sun 03 Jul 2011, 5:03 pm

Hulk hogan is my choise

by Ché Guerrero Sun 03 Jul 2011, 5:17 pm

^^^ Not sure if this is wumming or not but he was inducted in 2005
Unless you love him so much you think he deserves to be in it twice

by **Kenny** Sun 03 Jul 2011, 5:32 pm

Know it wont happen but Id like to see some of the jobbers recognised they were a integral part of building WWF .
Brooklyn Brawler
George South
The Italian Stallion

by pauline1981 Sun 03 Jul 2011, 5:40 pm

Im sure you can be inducted twice

by User Name Sun 03 Jul 2011, 6:02 pm

William Regal

by Shifty Mon 04 Jul 2011, 4:58 pm

Pez Watley, but if were being serious then maybe Demolition!

by ncfc_Tooze Tue 05 Jul 2011, 9:36 am

sting
Great Muta
Undertaker
Demolition
