I'm surprised Cyndi Lauper hasn't been considered yet, she did appear on that one Raw a couple years back. What, did she show a young Steph how to She-Bop or something?

Maybe next year, WWE has a strict one corpse per year rule. Savage without Liz is like a hamburger without bacon. Or a TV Dinner without the apple crisp?

They seem to have a lot of resentment toward Cyndi. She was on Raw but Vince had the commentators make fun of her for the entire segment. As far as another previously rumored induction: (TNA Taping Spoiler) {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Mickie James has re-signed with TNA, so it doesn't look like that's happening this year.
It was too soon for her anyway.

So who inducts Arnold? I'd guess HHH or maybe even Austin.

I wouldn't have been surprised if Warrior went off a bit but I'd actually somewhat expect Ventura to do so.

I've been saying for years there should be a non-performer wing in there, so the Jimmy Miranda thing sounds good to me. Kevin Dunn (regardless of his current status amongst some internet commenters as the anti-Christ, he needs to be in there) and Jim Johnston as well as Jimmy Miranda will surely be inducted someday., maybe even Toots Mondt as he's just as big a reason for the success of the WWWF as Vince Sr. And although he was and still is occasionally a performer, it would be a good place to induct Steve Lombardi as it could avoid more of those "jobber in the Hall of Fame" comments. Whilst I'm thinking about it, where should Referees go? Should they be considered in the regular HoF or a separate place if they ever create one? Because the likes of Mike Chioda and Charles Robinson to name a couple deserve to be honoured. I don't think Refs get enough credit for the job they do both in the ring and as part of the crew. I agree. I think Steve Lombardi should be recognised for his behind the scenes work, he must have been doing that role longer than he was a WWE performer now, Bruno Lauer/Harvey Whippleman too. Of course, they can still reference the Brooklyn Brawler in the induction. Tony Chimel is another who could be inducted as either an on-screen talent or behind the scenes guy.

It was too soon for her anyway. They don't like female singers no matter how much attention they got the company, do they? I remember Gorilla making fun of Aretha Franklin on the WWF weeklys after WM3 too. As for the spoiler, I know, Koko Rule, but what DID she do anyway, besides provide one of the most infamous "lost" WWE WM moments of all time?

I think that's what made T's speech so craptastically wonderful. They were so busy worrying about and shepherding about their three problem children, they never saw that rambling mother of a speech coming.

OK, I'm going to drop a long shot name. But a deserving one. Vince needs to swallow his pride and induct Ted Turner into the WWE Hall of Fame. He has always been a staunch supporter of the wrestling business, the most mainstream businessman to ever outwardly vouch for pro wrestling both publicly and financially. While I don't think he ever understood it completely, he was obviously a fan. And he built a cable network with World Championship Wrestling as a cornerstone.
He provided the only true alternative to WWE-brand sports entertainment in the Vince McMahon Jr. Era, and was undoubtedly highly influential in the growth of wrestling in the 80's and 90's.

If Turner goes in, Bischoff should go in. What Bischoff did for wrestling in the 90s is kind of unfathomable.

Bischoff basically just convinced someone with money that what worked in Tokyo would work in Atlanta. Literally his whole legacy could be attributed to a half hour conversation. Every single other thing he did fell between average at best and company-destroying at worst. I say this without having anything against him, it's really just a statement of fact.
