I hate to be the bastard here, but I'm sort of glad Savage won't be able to give his Hall of Fame speech, only because you know some smartass in the audience will try to start a "YOU SCREWED STEPH" chant. It would be worth it if Mach Man responded to that chant. Anyway, Bruno Sammartinoa and Chris benoit are locks for this year.

Hoenstly, a bunch of guys who were mid card to upper mid carders in the Territory days with a couple of bigger names to draw people in. Barry Horowitz might go in for his lognevity and his impact on Florida Wrestling

Savage absolutely should go in this year.

The Rock shouldn't be inducted this year, since he's too young and Macho Man deserves to be the headliner. I get that it makes sense it's in Miami, but Rock's so huge that any time he gets inducted will be a big deal.
Mil Mascaras, Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard and Rick Rude would be good supporting inductees.
Also, I wonder what the chances of Japanese legends like Misawa and Giant Baba getting inducted are, since Abdullah the Butcher and Mascaras are in.

Dok Hendrix was my choice. But as said earlier, he won't unless all Freebirds are admitted. I wouldn't think Slam Master J would be so petty as to decline just because he was released, as it's a tribute to his Dad.
Luger?

Well Mil Mascaras seems to be their international star this year and if they go for another it will probably be Carlos Colon. But Giant Baba probably has a shot at it someday. Though there are so many people who have died who actually worked for WWE that I'd prefer they focus on.

I have the dirt worst feeling that because they're in his old territory...they're going to induct Mike Graham.
All I have to say to that is:
You want to see the most pretentious, douchy, most full -of-himself induction speech...induct Mike Graham.
The speech will be full of enough bulls*** to fertilize the whole earth.

Let us not speak of such evils. He'd pretty much be the bottom of the Hall of Fame if that happened. Even below Johnny Rodz and James Dudley in my eyes.

Eddie got to accept the induction. I'm sure that's more than enough for him in Vince's eyes. Being Dusty's buddy is only good for so much. A name I haven't seen mentioned that I always hope will be a "midcard" induction: Rick Martel.

Well as the Model he was billed from Cocoa Beach, Florida. So maybe they'll toss him in this time.
Also, tickets for the Hall of Fame go on sale Thursday. So they might very well announce the headliner on Monday to help sell tickets.

Jake the Snake Roberts Macho Man Randy Savage Junk Yard Dog (if he hasn't been inducted already) June Byers or Mildred Burke (well, they inducted Gorgeous George) Mil Mascaras (confirmed I believed) Lou Thesz Wahoo McDaniel The Rock Tommy Rich (I have a feeling a regional or Southern star will enter this year's HOF) The Undertaker (possible, but maybe after he has retired) Rick Rude The Fabulous Freebirds Leilani Kai Bull Nakano Medusa Miceli or the Ultimate Warrior (though not possible, VKM has a record of working with anyone when there are ratings and money involved) Kevin Nash Rock n'Roll Express The Valiant Brothers (Jimmy Valiant accepting the nomination would rule.)

The Valiant Brothers (Jimmy Valiant accepting the nomination would rule.) The Valiant Brothers were inducted in 96. Too bad the footage of that hasn't leaked online. There's some snippets of the older ceremonies to be found though. I have the dirt worst feeling that because they're in his old territory...they're going to induct Mike Graham. As far as Grahams, go...I'm surprised they haven't inducted Jerry Graham. Yeah. I think Vince has said on record that Dr Jerry Graham was one of his favorite wrestlers while growing up.

I'm still pushing for Lord Alfred Hayes to finally get inducted.

I'm still pushing for Lord Alfred Hayes to finally get inducted. Now THAT I am surprised has not happened yet. When he died in 2005, they made a video tribute for him on RAW with Jim Ross introducing it and speaking kind words for him. They also did the ten bell salute. They don't do that for everyone. So you have to figure there's a soft spot backstage for him.

I didn't know about the Valiant Brothers. I recall that Jimmy Valiant had an entirely diferent look during those days compared to his NWA days.
