Does anyone know the promoter that came up with the Super 8 tournament? I'd have to say they deserve a spot.
I agree that Christopher Daniels should be one of the first inductions.

Metal Maniac? King Kaluha?
If Tom Brandi gets in, does he get extra rings as Sal Sincere and the Patriot?

Necro Butcher deserves a spot, and they should put him in the inaugural class to make sure he can actually attend.
Nick Mondo is probably a lock given that he seems tight with the GCW crew.
Reckless Youth for the nostalgia.
Christopher Daniels to give the event some profile, and because he definitely deserves it.
I'd like to see Human Tornado in there as well.

I have a feeling this is partially to bestow honors upon Joey Janela, however.

I dont think he'll be in the Inaugural Class... but Ultramantis Black would be one of my picks. He and Hallowicked are sentimental favorites of mine
Danielson and Punk should realistically go in the first class. Hero and Cabana too. Cabana inspired SO MUCH about the modern day scene.

Maybe hold off on Punk for a first one and do Cabana first. Like, obviously, they seem to be able to be civil enough right now, but better to A. not make it awkward if it doesn't have to be, and B. Cabana frankly has had a much bigger impact on indie wrestling, even if Punk's the bigger star, considering Cabana revolutionized self-promotion and hustle, actually making a living on the indies.

Thinking of girls... Mickie James should probably be considered as well. Her initial run as Alexis Laree and current body of work since leaving WWE (Or the multiple times she has) speak for themselves. Also her push to get Women's wrestling more features on the Indies and beyond with Empowerrr.
Cheerleader Melissa would be another one. MsChif and Mercedes Martinez would also be high up there as would Sara Del Rey

I'd assume Trent Acid would be a lock right?

Honest question: Is it Orange Crush soda that's sponsoring them, or is it a different company called that?

Damn I always just thought it was the soda. It made GCW seem a little more big league to me since even if it’s not a top tier soda, most Americans have at least heard of Orange Crush. Not that I want this to happen, but has the soda company ever piped up about this? It seems like this is a case that could create marketplace confusion. I mean I was confused.

Amazing Red should probably be in the conversation as well. I remember all the BYW forums back in the day being flooded with guys who were trying to be like him.

You were confused, yet interested.
