No, this is their moment. Most likely one of the last moments some of them will have on a big stage. So although I may joke about it, I respect that some people want to take time with their speech. It's not really their moment though. The WWE HOF is about profiting from nostalgia that these people can provide. They aren't doing this because they really give a f*** about honoring these people. What if every old actor got to ramble on tv for an hour just because they might not ever be in a movie again? No tv network is airing that. Correct, which is why they're called podcasts.

Lita's was by far the worst speech. Hillbilly Jim and Larry Zybyzsko were just a lot of rambling, but Lita spent 25 minutes telling the stupidest f***ing story of all time. Beat me to it. And she did her damndest to make the story feel even longer by basically interrupting it twice and starting over. First she puts Rey and Arn on the spot and they stand there awkwardly with no mic and nothing to say and then she puts everything on hold for like 3 minutes to explain what "working left" means.

I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

A surprisingly good speech? The Bushwhackers. Although admittedly that came after the emotional Connor the Crusher induction and I think everyone needed a laugh after that. I can't remember if this part was real, but I recall the story of them being told of their gimmick going along the lines of this: (Vince finishes explaining gimmick and nuances to it) Bushwhackers: I don't know about this (Vince slides them their contract offer w/money amount) (Both Bushwhackers do the arm swing)

To which Vince responded,"Well look at the wall and see posters of the ugly mugs of some of my top faces - Hogan and Duggan". To which they agreed and probably did what you mentioned
