I would say Undertaker could do it, but knowing how a lot of the time he wants to keep it at kayfabe level for his character, I doubt he'll do it. However, who else could induct him? I know he managed Mankind and Vader. Do you think Foley or Vader could induct him? What about Kane?

I like the idea of Kane inducting and Taker accepting.

Kane
Mick Foley
Vince McMahon
Jim Cornette (granted that one is a long shot)
Michael Hayes (they were friends before either got into wrestling)

I think Kane is the best choice.

If not Taker, than Kane or Foley.

UNDERTAKER.
Enough of this "Oh, he can't break character" junk. Paul Bearer was instrumental to his career well before he was The Undertaker.
F***ing let him do the induction.

I think Taker is going to do it. I mean he already kind of broke the character last year when they used the death in the angle knowing that Paul "died" like twice before hand.

I wouldn't be shocked if Kane did it (though I'd fear an audience disapproval that night) and honestly not disappointed, since Paul was a big part of his character/career too.
But let's face it - if Paul's sons ask/asked Taker to do it, he'll do it. Kayfabe jobs in that instance, I think.

It's not them, It's him. Taker doesn't even go to the induction just because he doesn't want to break character. Yeah but it's Bearer, this is not any ole induction for Taker. I think he would break character to pay respects to Bearer and his career any day, especially now. |

I think he'll show up and pay his respects, but he won't speak, like what he did for Flair and Michaels. |

Exactly- plus, the fact of Taker breaking character to induct Bearer would be a more powerful show of respect there to really sell the induction than anything else would be. |

If Undertaker can break character for the Triple H DVD, he can break character to induct Paul Bearer.

Undertaker could easily do a Paul Bearer induction at least somewhat in character in a way that people would enjoy.
It's not like he has to talk like he's 1992 undertaker. He can talk. He talks all the time today.

They can do it in a "roundabout" way. Taker comes out in full "Taker Drag" with Kane, Foley or Both. Kane and or Foley does the main speech and at the end Taker picks up the Ring Says "Rest in Peace" and hands it to the family.

Uh, Taker is always at the HOF, he just sits backstage.
