Yeah, I echo everyone's sentiments about Regis. Especially how he went into retirement after he was done his show, he had time to do the WWE Hall of Fame. That would've been a hell of a speech. Also, I might be showing my age, but if Ray Combs was still alive, man, he would be another amazing Hall of Famer. His speech would've been full of him roasting guys and it would've been great. RIP Regis and Ray. It would have been Regis second appearance at a HOF since he appeared at the 1994 ceremony to induct Classy Freddie Blassie I think. Freddie was the person who helped Regis kick start his talk show career and Regis was forever grateful. Freddie even appeared as a guest of Regis on one of Regis’ first shows.

Regis would have been amazing. I wouldn't doubt that, because he would have enjoyed it, Vince purposely held off inducting him. Looking at celebrity inductees, the only one that really strikes me as having been a fan would be Mike Tyson. Maybe a few are fans and I didn't hear it but Regis's only equal whose inducted I would have to say is Mike Tyson for being a really big fan. And Burt Reynolds is another one who was a big fan. He really only had the one small spot at mania X but he would go over to guys at autograph shows and get pictures with them.

A few weeks ago, I said the WWE should go out of its way to avoid making the Hall of Fame into "Bloodline Night at the Hall of Fame," and they've instead leaned into it - having Roman Reigns induct Paul Heyman and having The Rock induct his grandmother. I hope the fans in attendance respect the moment, but I also hope WWE doesn't see this as an opportunity to squeeze out one last little bit of heel heat for The Bloodline before WrestleMania.

Or just go whole hog and induct Nia Jax and the Headshrinkers too, just to milk that Anoa'i family tree as much as they can.

I had the same concern in the Smackdown thread for tonight. It's definitely going to be a more "hostile" in terms of kayfabe Hall of Fame class. I think if people boo, cheer or heckle, the crowd will lean into it, instead of keeping people quiet like in the past.

last year fans were more respectful from what I remember.
I think after the Bret shit, WWE probably has zero tolerance or something of the affected when it comes to the HOF now. Like if a fan or group is being obnoxious I can see them being removed.

Never have I anticipated a hall of fame speech as much as I am anticipating Thunderbolt Pattersons speech. I will personally donate $5 to WWE if he begins with “I’m just as surprised as you are.”

Trying to learn the new wrestling schedule and restarting on WrestleMania weekend is not wise, Mr. White.

Vince would be screaming at Nattie to go change into something else.

Keith Lee just wandering behind Punk! That may have been intentional. Keith might be trying to get fired.

Is it me, or has the production on this pre show been really bad so far? No one seems prepared.
