Every since the network came out I've been enjoying watching Rick Rude. I'm very surprised he hasn't had any mentions for HOF inductions in past years, I don't even think there is a beyond the ring on him. Is this due to him leaving WWF for WCW, or due to the fact the want one posthumous induction a year.
He was heavily featured in the Jake Roberts doc.

He'll get in, just with him being gone now, I don't think there's a big rush for it.
He was a World Champion in WCCW, so possibly this year, but more likely when they are in Minneapolis

Possibly to avoid the mention/thinking of his death. Though his career should definitely be celebrated.

Rude is one of the biggest omissions from the HOF IMO. Former IC and US Champ (International world champ too). One of the biggest heels in the business for 6-7 years

Vince is still probably bitter about him showing up on WCW same night as raw aired and wasn't his death drug related?

I always figured he already was in the HOF from the early years when they didn't air them or put them on WM dvds. Yes, this is a glaring omission indeed.

I remember a year ago there were rumors about his son or something getting a tryout in WWE. Was any of that true, or were those just rumors?

I believe there is some sort of issue with his estate.

Wasn't he just mentioned the other day? Didn't JBL compare Big E to him?

The posthumous deal, they limit them as much as they can. But I think with Madusa and Kevin Nash putting him over this year I think hes got a good chance of being considered.

I thought he was actually in, already. Needs to be corrected.

Do what's best for business... unless you're consumed with spite.
But who knows, maybe it's just one of those things.

Barring any problems with his estate, it's likely since they don't like loading up hte Hall of Fame ceremonies with posthumous inductions.
Since, there are people that aren't in yet that are still alive to talk about their career and I'd be kind of a downer if the entire night was talking about these relatively young guys that died.
again barring any problems with his estate he'll get in eventually.
