I haven't (probably blindly) seen a thread about this yet. I just read that Meltzer is claiming that if Taker isn't working a match he will headline.
Thoughts? Names? Ideas?
Apparently 32 is in Texas so Taker could hold off. I would personally have Sting/Savage co headlining. Have Sting do his one time only WWE match at Mania going over HHH and then have some kind of face off/alliance with Taker on the post Mania RAW
Others? Demolition (inducted by ??) Madusa (inducted by Heyman) Davey Boy Smith (inducted by Bret) Vader (inducted by Flair maybe?) Jim Cornette (inducted by ??)

Haku/Meng would make for a cool induction actually given the guys tough guy rep

Sting/Savage almost reminds me of Foley/Sammartino
IE 1 guy not Headlining who was arguably a much bigger star but had heat with management and the Headliner never had a WM singles match

I still want to see Rick Martel inducted, as I do every time we begin to speculate
Would also like to see Nikita Koloff go in if he hasn't already (don't think he has)

That would be like Shane Douglas inducting Ric Flair. Perhaps a current Diva or Molly Holly could induct her. Jim Cornette would probably want to go in with Eaton and Lane (and perhaps Dennis Condrey) as the Midnight Express, rather than go in solo. Vader might want to be inducted by his son, though his son is no longer in developmental.

Heyman has heat with Madusa? It was 21 years ago, so I'm sure they are both over it, but reportedly they could not stand each other back in the day.

Good list in first post.
I'd extend Jim Cornette's entry to The Midnight Express (Lane, Eaton & Condrey with Cornette). Cornette said he'd accept and be there "with bells and whistles on" meaning he'd be on his best behavior.
Sting / Savage as a co-headline makes sense, especially since Savage has passed on. Flair inducts Sting, Hogan inducts Savage, and Lanny accepts on his behalf.
We have our headliners, we have our tag team and our non-wrestler...
Madusa as the female inductee makes sense... Would she accept?
Given Itami and WWE's wish to make headway in Japan... a Puroresu star makes sense. Muta, Ultimo, Lyger makes the most sense for the American audience, and Ultimo has the advantage of resonating in Mexico too. But if they want to make headlines in Japan, you have to be talking about Baba, Tsuruta, Misawa and Kobashi. And given Japanese values, you'd have to do Baba first, even though Kobashi has the advantage of still being amongst the living. And he was conspicuously backstage at the last Japanese tour.
Or, they could always induct Hansen, whom was a rival to all 4 of them. The greatest American in Puro history.
They've been making sheep eyes at Quebec, what with the hiring of Owens & Zayn and the Where Are They Now article on Rougeau on .com... they could do Martel. Inducted by Zayn or Santana. Obligatory ceremonial tie-up ala Flair/Steamboat if inducted by Santana.
British Bulldog works for me as the seventh entry. But, Dynamite Kid would deserve it, too; this should have an s at the end of Bulldog.... however, he wouldn't accept. Davey Boy it is, one of wrestling's biggest overachievers, IMO.
Cyndi Lauper as the celebrity.

I don't see Sting going in this year. If he has a Wrestlemania match, they'll want to wait until at least next year, so he can sell tickets to two events instead of just one. Also will be hard for the current generation unfamiliar with him to take him seriously going against HHH if he's already one of those old guys going into the HOF.

Madusa and Heyman are friends, they never had heat. They are always putting each other over on Twitter and he and his kids went to visit her at Monster Jam not so long ago she posted photos of them on Facebook, he would be the only current person on the roster that has a connection to her. In her recent shoot with Vince Russo she talks about riding with Heyman and Rude in WCW
Shes also still friends with Eric Bischoff, she posted pics hanging out with him and his wife also recently.. , if they could get him to induct her now that would be a pretty controversial and interesting induction!!

Hart Foundation (Bret, Owen, Bulldog, Neidhart, & Pillman) I'd love this, but as we know it'll not happen due to the feelings of Owen's widow. Best we can hope for is the other three getting inducted as solo stars alongside Bret (or perhaps Neidhart could go in as part of a Hart Foundation tag-team induction, if they can't trust him to remain sober). I'd certainly be happy to see Bret join Flair on two inductions, as I'm sure Hogan soon will when they pull the trigger on the nWo induction.

Then I was very much mistaken. I've been part of the newsletter/IWC scene for a long time and I was trying to remember something from the newsletters from about 22 years ago. I remembered hearing how they clashed behind the scenes of WCW in 1992. Even though I thought they didn't get along, I was still assuming that both of them were over it by now anyway.

I expect plenty of cutting to the head of the line this year, especially if it's Taker.
I don't ever see Demolition going in, unfortunately. Too much whitewashing of history, but if they ever did, the Hart Foundation could induct them. If this is another Savage situation where they're inducted posthumously, then I'd pass as well.
Part of the reason I was adamant about Savage going in prior to his death was for him to personally see the admiration he left behind and to see two parties bridge together. We never got that, and noe really it seems like too much of a formality in the sense that it's expected, yet it doesn't feel the same since Savage won't be there. He should have gone in in 2006. He should have gone in in 2007. He should have gone in in 2008.

Jim Cornette should not be in it by himself. I want the Midnight Express to be in the Hall of Fame and if I get my wish then Jim Cornette can be inducted with them. It is a smart move because if Cornette was inducted by himself he will talk for hours about crap no one wants to hear and talk shit about mostly everyone since he hates everyone and everything in life. If he was inducted with a great man like Bobby Eaton he might have a better attitude. This could be wishful thinking since Cornette usually behaves like a 10 year old.
This is what I want for the Hall of Fame
Randy Savage- Koko B. Ware in the Hall of Fame and not Savage is like the Baseball Hall of Fame to have Rob Deer in the Hall of Fame and not Lou Gehrig. Midnight Express- I just want Bobby Eaton in the Hall of Fame and I think this is the only way he can be. Cyndi Lauper- The only celebrity who is not already in the hall that deserves to be in it (besides LT) Rick Rude- But if Savage gets in I understand why they wouldn't want another dead person in it. DDP- Why not? Sid- I just love the guy. Lauper can be the token female that they like to induct each year.
