    Would that be the first time they've put in a wrestler that's never wrestled in WWE? Why would they do that good and all as I'm sure he was?

    No, there has been quite a few Non WWE affiliated people - Verne Gagne, Nick Bockwinkel, Gordon Solie, Mil Máscaras, Gorgeous George - Vince has taken it upon himself to honour guys from since defunct federations...

    Dont think Inoki ever did either

    He actually won the WWF title from Bob Backlund... though as I pointed out when I drafted him in the boards.ie PW draft
    As Inoki refused the title his reign is not included nor is it recognized by WWE in its official history, and Backlund is recognized as having one reign from 1978–1983.

    Mil Mascaras (mentioned above) was in a Royal Rumble once too, often mentioned including by JBL during the most recent rumble because he eliminated himself from the match.

    I have absolutely no interest in seeing the Weedwhackers going into the HOF. None.

    But they'll come out and forcibly lick the liver spots right off Mean Gene's head! Some people are just anti-entertainment...

    Which, from stories I've heard, was because he was too egotistical to allow anyone else to eliminate him.

    I wonder why The Dudley Boyz arent going into Hall of Fame this year? they are far more deserving than Bushwackers, but then again WWE might have plans to bring back Dudley Boyz on a part-time or even full time basis or maybe there is still heat between Haitch and Bubba Ray.

    WWE are strongly hinting Madusa is the tomorrow's announcement.

    Well-deserved if true.

    Also a big WWE HoF logo on her Monster Truck would pretty cool.

    I agree but why isn't Miss Elizabeth going in with Macho Man?

    It would have been perfect to have them both go in together.

    Still remember him asking her to marry him!! :)

    Alundra Blayze.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,166 ✭✭✭Stereomaniac


    I'm delighted that she's finally going in at last. I hope they don't make a show of her now though.

    PWInsider
    With WWE in Pittsburgh, PA this Monday for Raw, I'm guessing Larry Zbsyzko will be announced next for the WWE Hall of Fame. Zbsyzko is originally from the Steel City.

    Going to WM this year and have to say, pretty content with the fact that I didn't get a HOF ticket...

    Buh Buh Ray came back already in the Royal Rumble

    Buh Buh Ray came back already in the Royal Rumble

    Speaking of which... is he still a free agent now? I wonder why WWE hasn't signed him up yet, he seemed willing to return going by what he said after the Rumble.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,478 ✭✭✭brianregan09


    I'd say he is back in a trainer or road agent capicity

    Yes Yes Yes Yes


    A lovely gesture by WWE

    the award will be presented by The Ultimate Warrior’s widow, Dana Warrior, and WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan to Steve Michalek, Connor’s father

    That is a very deserving accolade for his family to receive. When I think of Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania last year, I think of that child before I think of any of the great action in-ring.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,301 ✭✭✭✭gerrybbadd


    Well, that's me gonna be balling like a baby on HOF Saturday.

    Very well deserved, I reckon there won't be a dry eye in the house.

    Have to ask. What makes him so special compared to the thousands of other young kids who die every year from illness? Screams a PR stunt to me.

    I get what you're saying. I suppose with him being so visible last year, and the way so many fans felt so touched by his journey, is why he's being inducted.

    And I get that this kind of thing isn't what Warrior meant when he wanted a Warrior award (he meant it for unsung heroes backstage), but i've no real issue with Connor being the first inductee.

    I think though, they should call it the Connor The Crusher award instead.


  • Registered Users Posts: 86,117 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Based on the WWE.com description and prior speculation, PWInsider.com reports the announcement will likely be for either Larry Zbyszko or Tatsumi Fujinami. Zbyszko seems the more likely choice, but there was talk of inducting Fujinami this year as well.
    This year’s Hall of Fame headliner, Kevin Nash, is expected to be announced next week if not tonight

    Just saw an alert on my phone from wwe that larry zbyszko is the latest inductee into the 2015 class.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    Tatsumi Fujinami was announced on Smackdown

    They don't want a dead guy (Randy Savage) going on last. Nash will most likely be announced on Raw this Monday and will close to the HOF event with a banter-iffic speech.
