www.prowrestling.net/artman/publish/WWE/article100335.shtml"Dot Net Exclusive: Jake Roberts scheduled to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, special guest may accompany him " Jake Roberts is scheduled to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame next month. Prowrestling.net has learned that he will be released temporarily from treatment to attend the award and someone will be assigned to keep an eye on him. There are also rumblings that Scott Hall, who is in the same treatment facility in Georgia, might attend the Hall of Fame ceremony with Roberts. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Real, or Smark Bait? It would be cool if this was true, since Roberts deserves it.

Hard to guess who would induct him, since he was pretty much a loner character. I'm guessing Dibiase.

Alice Cooper could induct him giving Vince loves 'celebrities' and they have a WM history....kinda.

If true, Ricky Steamboat could induct him maybe. Or for someone who's on the current roster Undertaker Tommy Dreamer?

Do they have to do this now? Yea he deserves to go in and I'm not sure exactly what treatment is like, but this has got to be a Hell of a time for Jake right now. How about next year if things are going better?

Assuming this is true, maybe they're figuring the positive re-inforcement from his peers will be a good thing as he's trying to stay clean.
Looking for someone to induct him? There's another obvious one: Taker.

Then again, since he's wrestling in the co-main event the next night, perhaps not.

I'd love to see him go in, I just fear that this would be the perfect chance for him to fall off the wagon.
Who should induct him? Dreamer or Undertaker are both good suggestions.

Steve Austin could induct him since it was Jake he beat for KOTR, thus starting Austin 3:16.

Austin's another good one, since I think Jake had a hand in that angle for Austin.

Jake The Snake definitely belongs in the HoF, and I think Alice Cooper would be th best guy to induct him.

Jake has always been my favorite. I'll induct him.
Of course, no one knows who I am. Maybe Alice Cooper should do it.

It won't happen, but I'd love to see Raven induct him.
Jed f'n Shaffer ~It'll probably be Cooper or Austin, cause Austin can seemingly be plugged into inducting anyone.

Randy Savage anyone?
Isn't it up to the inductee to decide who inducts them? I think Savage would be AWESOME in that capacity. And apparently it will be as close to the HOF that Savage would ever get...

That would be so awesome. He's one of my absolute favorites. I could care less who inducts him, just wanna see him up there. One of the best talkers of all-time.
