Long overdue and well deserved. Fantastic news. I may shed a tear.

And I'm hearing Hulk Hogan will induct him!

I really don't get the "It should've been done years ago, so I don't care." mindset. It's finally happening. Isn't that a good thing? What's hard to understand about it? People wanted to see Randy Savage accept the honor in person. I think the chief concern in that comment is the "so I don't care" part, which I've seen a couple posts today and in discussions elsewhere since 2011. I'd rather prefer it have been done years ago myself so he could be there - who wouldn't?! - but I'm certainly am not going to say "I don't care" to this breaking news. I haven't been elated about anything wrestling related in quite a while. And I've come to appreciate him a lot more in recent years, so that only makes this news more enjoyable and his induction more anticipated. I posted an illustration of him as my Facebook banner an hour or so ago, and quickly 5 or 6 people - not even all people who are into wrestling - commented because they knew what it was about. It's weird to think of people dismissing this so easily. I get their worry about it being posthumous, of course, but to not care at all? Gah.

Happy to see Macho Man get in. I truly wish I could have seen his speech for this, but I'm just happy to see him get in.

That'll be everyone from the notable exceptions list inducted won't it? Who's left? Oh don't worry, the IWC is bound to bitch about future should-be HOFers. CM Punk automatically springs to mind.

Even if he does not induct him, they better let Lanny read a poem.

Anyone know what the ticket prices for the HOF might run? I don't even know if I'd be able to make it to that event, but I'd like to know there's a chance.

This is what Lanny had to say on WWE's "BREAKING NEWS" thing on the WWE Network. He'd said before that he gave them permission to induct Randy but would have nothing to do with it, but as he appeared on the Network to talk about it, does this mean he might induct Mach after all?

Glad we're finally getting the Macho Man's induction. Though it makes me wonder if they're saving up Sting's induction for WM32.

WWE says that Hogan will be inducting Savage. www.wwe.com/classics/wwe-hall-of-fame/macho-man-randy-savage-expected-wwe-hall-of-fameI imagine Lanny (perhaps joined by other members of the family) will give the acceptance speech.

I'm as big a mark and staunch defender of Hogan as anybody but I don't want him anywhere near Savage's induction.

Its about god damn time that Savage gets in.
Next guy on my list that deserves the honor is "Ravishing" Rick Rude.

I'd almost prefer Vince to induct Savage because if they were as close as people said, it would make for an interesting speech.

It's time to make one last patch-up and induct Owen Hart in the hall. No excuses now.
