I hate when they do home video releases right before HOF inductions. I get it's a sales thing, but it omits a perfect ending to these documentaries. Anyway, congrats to him - very deserved.

Almost think DDP should have got the Warrior Award instead.

Totally deserves. So does this mean he is the headline inductee this year? Really deserves it. But I'm surprised WWE is giving him that. They must really think highly of him. Unless the headline inductee will be announced later. Have feeling it's going to be Daniel Bryan. He is not the headliner. Johnson speculated it could be Taker and that is the reason he is in NOLA for RAW, but that is just speculation. I'm not understanding Johnson's logic: - Mania is in NOLA in 2018 (not 2017) - NOLA is where the streak ended. - Taker is a SmackDown guy (per that thing before Survivor Series), it should be announced there -- they don't present the AFC Champions that trophy at the NFC Championship game.. - Unless I imagined it, Taker's last appearance was him babbling about competing more often than just Mania. So his very next appearance is a hall of fame announcement and they're gonna make it before the Rumble?!?! Announcing him for the hall of fame next week makes zero sense. |

He deserves it for all the hard work he's put in, especially with the yoga and helping to improve the lives of his fellow wrestlers.
Also, they owe him an apology for treating him like shit when he did them a favor and came to the company when he didn't have to in 2001.

A great choice.
I just hope Vader makes it this year, especially with DDP trying to help him with his health.

DDMe was NEVER a great wrestler; the guy was pushed because he was good friends with Bischoff. If not for Eric, DDMe would have been viewed as no better than WCW's version of Barry Horowitz. I'm sorry if the truth hurts your feelings but it is the truth. |

I always hoped he'd turn up in recent years as a face GM character for a run. Felt like there'd be some fun potential in there (way more than the current trainwreck that is Foley as GM, poor dude)

Hall or Roberts would be my preferred inductors, just for what Page did for them personally. David Arquette. Oliver Platt. |

I'm sorry if the truth hurts your feelings but it is the truth. His money from WCW was guaranteed & he could've taken some time off and gotten paid his money. Instead, he came to the WWF to help participate in the Invasion angle that they f***ed up and got treated like dirt for reasons that still don't make sense to me. You can think whatever you want of him as a wrestler or if he deserved to be in/near the main event. However, there was an opportunity to do something good with him and the WWF blew it because they're dummies. |

Great news. Another well deserved inductee. If true. One of the great heels who besides a short run in 1990, was a shame he never became a long term main event heel. And also was what a real man looked like!
Now hit his music!

Updated the first post, might as well make this the semi-offical thread since so many are being leaked.
Johnson said that it is his belief (just speculation) that the reason Undertaker will be on RAW is to be announced as the headliner for the Class
