I wonder who they'll get to induct them. Maybe Beefcake and Valentine?

This is how Windham should have gone in to begin with. Feels weird he's a double inductee of all people.

I get him going in with the Horsemen because you have to induct the Horsemen, and there was no way Vince was going to induct Ole, so you go to the next prominent lineup. I actually put his Horsemen/solo run well over his US Express run. I’d actually induct both guys as singles before I would as a team, but I guess it’s the easiest way to get them both in.

With Vince on the outs and Ole no longer with us, I’m just waiting to see if Triple H goes ahead and inducts the Andersons. Lars and Arn are available, as are Brad and Bryant.

My thought process even going back to 2011 was to just induct Tully and Arn as The Brainbusters. Being selective about which version they want to put in always felt kind of silly, and I've always been firmly against multiple time inductees. Yes, I know other HOFs do this too, but it just becomes a game of how many different ways can you induct someone, while completely neglecting from so many others that could also go in. Even their Horseman incarnation they selected was a version that was around for 8 months. I guess what I'm saying is there were several ways they could have gotten all the players they wanted to get inducted, without lazily inducting multiple versions.

I had thought that if they’re inducting Bray this year as well, it would be kind of jarring to induct Rotunda as IRS in what’s going to be a very emotional evening for him.

If Bray gets inducted this year, not only are they inducting Windham and Rotunda but also Windham Rotunda. It's pretty poetic.

If you told me a boxing great would be inducted in a Philadelphia Hall of Fame ceremony, I would have thought of someone else.

The first posthumous Celebrity Hall of Fame induction.
A deserved one but it looks like its going to be another year of wondering why the hell Cyndi Lauper is not yet in the HOF.

Just seen a video of HHH telling Windham & Rotunda they are in the hall of Fame. Rotunda got quite emotional. He’s had a difficult year I’m sure. Assuming Bray goes in as well this year. For those that say WWE's hall isn't a real hall of fame, they need to see Mike's reaction during the whole thing and Barry's towards the end. See how emotional they are and how much it means to them. It is very real. Bingo. We can scoff at it and even be angry about it not being "real" enough, but to those in the business, it's a meaningful 'thank you'
