Kinda hoping he wears the face paint whilst being inducted. I loved the Ultimate Warrior as a kid so I welcome this induction. I do believe however that this years class and any other future hof class for that matter is going to have a tough time topping last years

I do believe however that this years class and any other future nod class for that matter is going to have a tough time topping last years While getting Bruno last year was a major coup, the only thing that could top it would be, for me, if they ever got Sting. That and whatever year Undertaker finally gets into the Hall.

The fake Warrior that replaced him when he died should induct him

I think Lita will be the diva this year. I'd be really happy if they inducted her this year. But she's still fairly young and on good terms with the company, so they might hold off for a year or two. I would say Madusa and/or Bull Nakano for the female spot. Madusa has actually been rumored for a few years now, so I wouldn't be surprised. Bull Nakano would be a shock, frankly. As for who inducts Warrior, I actually think it will be Punk since the two have always spoken very highly of each other. Sting would be an awesome choice, though.

Great announcement.
Along with Jake going in, and one of the 3 tag teams I mentioned earlier...I would say that would be a very good class.
To fill things out a little more;
Another singles' star; Bam Bam Bigelow or Rick Martel Female; Madusa or Missy Hyatt Manager/Promoter; Slick or Jim Crockett Jr.

They like putting in somebody for international markets. Japan is now getting RAW live so I'm thinking a Japanese great goes in.
My guess is Muta. Hardcore domestic fans will remember him well.
Maybe Ultimo Dragon or Jushin Lyger for the same reasons.
Then you go into the realms of the Four Pillars, the other two three musketeers, Jumbo and Baba...
Or maybe they put in Stan Hansen and make that the international entry, which makes sense.
But overall I predict...
UW, Paul Bearer, Jake Roberts, The Midnight Express & Jim Cornette, Lita & Dick Ebersol

Maybe Sarge could induct Warryah?
He beat him for the title and had a small feud with him. Plus, with him being on the good side of Vince/HHH it would be in safe hands.
Can't recall if he was on Self-Destruction dvd trashing him though

I wonder who is going to induct him. HHH? Vince McMahon? CM Punk? Orlando Jordan? Pat Patterson?

Would Jim Powers be good enough to do the induction? I don't think you need a big name, and I'd prefer someone who was sincere in it, which I think Powers would be, since they're friends.

On who to induct Warrior, I'm going to go with the too awesome to happen answer: Sting

Besides Warrior, I could see this years class look like this:
- Jake Roberts - Paul Bearer - Lita - Demolition - Celeb Inductee

Hopefully this year it's Warrior, Jake Roberts, Paul Bearer, Vader, Demolition
2015 I'd hope to see Savage, DDP, Hall & Nash

Can't recall if he was on Self-Destruction dvd trashing him though I am sure he was on it, but if he was he certainly did not stand out to me. I remember DiBiase and Heenan ripping him a new one, though.

Jake Roberts was already a good candidate because he is in shape and in a good frame of mind, and recently made an appearance. I think the location of New Orleans is pretty fitting too considering his days in the Mid-South territory.
I think the one-two punch of Warrior-Snake would be big enough to headline the Hall of Fame, though I would love for them to add Demolition or the Freebirds (with Hayes and Garvin accepting for themselves, Gordy, and Roberts). I think the Freebirds is a little more likely since Hayes has been a company man for about 20 years.
DDP could induct Jake. I bet WWE would actually prefer this, even if Jake had someone else in mind.
If the Freebirds were inducted, you could have Kevin Von Erich induct them.
If Demolition were inducted, perhaps Bret Hart would do the honors for them. It would give Bret something to do that weekend. I am sure they would induct just Eadie and Darsow, which is how it should be.
As far as Paul Bearer goes, I think they should go ahead and induct him solo with Undertaker and Kane inducting him and Paul's sons accepting. New Orleans would probably be a great location for Paul's family, who I believe live in the Gulf region. Paul may have hoped to be inducted alongside Undertaker, but I think Paul was hoping for this so that he could be standing together with his great friend. With Bearer's passing, I think it is more appropriate for Kane and Undertaker to induct Paul Bearer solo. Also, Undertaker really deserves to be inducted solo as he was without Paul Bearer for most of his career. I would even argue that the Undertaker should be the only one inducted in the year that he goes in. I don't actually expect that to happen though.

Im going with this class, I think its a varied bunch.
- Ultimate Warrior (Inducted by Hulk Hogan) - Jake "The Snake" Roberts (Inducted by DDP? Ricky Steamboat? Ted Dibiase?) - Demolition (Inducted by Bret Hart? Arn Anderson?) - Paul Bearer (Inducted by Kane, but perhaps add an Undertaker cameo) - Ivan Koloff (Inducted by Bruno Sammarino) - Rick Martel (Inducted by Tito Santana? Tony Garea?) - Bam Bam Bigelow (Inducted by DDP?) - Madusa (Inducted by Paul Heyman) - Lord Alfred Hayes (Inducted by Mene Gene Okerland)

I am sure they would induct just Eadie and Darsow, which is how it should be. Exactly. I never cared for Crush (although when he became a single's star he was cool), but Ax and Smash made it work very well. I really wish they would close a deal because Eadie has said he will accept if asked, and Darsow is already on good terms as it is. Having Warrior, Demolition and Jake would make for one of my favorite classes ever if they got it done.
