I am almost certain the next induction will be Bullet Bob Armstrong. They hit you with a huge induction right at the bat, so they will follow it up with a induction the common wrestling fan will never even heard of. So my guess is Bob Armstrong. I say if the Road Warriors get inducted, it will be one of the last ones announced on TV I thought the inductees get lesser and lesser each time. Wasn't Bob Uecker the last one announced last year?

I got a feeling the Freebirds are the next inductees.

Yeah that's true but you still got Abdullah the Butcher; if they do decided to induct him OR Leslie Nielsen. Since they like to do celebs and I would actually agree w/ Leslie being inducted

I hate that celebrity wing with a passion and don't recognize any of its inductees.

When if Sting and the Macho Man actually do become the next people introduced?

Since they like to do celebs and I would actually agree w/ Leslie being inducted I'll never be happy with the celebrity wing until Lauper gets inducted. You know, because she's the only celebrity to ACTUALLY HAVE DONE SOMETHING IMPORTANT.

Was Sensational Sherri sober during her speech? I've often wondered this since he's been mentioned in here but is the whole showing up on Nitro and Raw on the same night the reason Rick Rude isnt in yet? I would imagine they are going to shy away from wrestlers who died as a result of drug problems. Well....no because that would scratch off The Road Warriors and I seriously doubt they'd just induct Animal and not Hawk. More to the point and I dont mean to sound insensitive but Eddie Guerrero is already in. Vince even said the WWF/E HOF is about your contribitions to the industry not your contributions + what you did in your spare time.

All true, but WWE wasn't in full blown PG at the time those two went in. And they went in before the Benoit incident. I don't even remember who I was talking about originally anymore, as I recall, it was someone deserving, but I stand by what I said.

On The Celebrety Wing: If they made a meaningful contribution (Competed/were involved in an actual match) to the industry (Mr. T, Cindi Lauper, Mike Tyson, Andy Kaufman) I'd be more apt to recognize them as HOF worthy.... As it stands now do you know how many "Celeb" wing entrants there are...... I'll give you time to think on it...... Give up? 3.......3 people in the celebrety wing....all of them inducted in the last 7 years. Pete Rose- Inducted in 2004 William "The Refridgerator" Perry- 2006 Bob Uecker- 2010 And you know what......all but one of them actually had SOME impact and had meaningful interaction not limited to skits and stunt casting.....and He's got this going for him On What is HOF Material: I will contend that inducting Eddie Guererro in 2006, only 5 months after his passing was "Too Soon". I'm not disputing whether he DID have a Hall of Fame worthy career, nor do I believe he shouldn't be in the HOF at all/should be removed from it.....I would just like to go on record that almost everything WWE could have done wrong in the wake of Eddie's death.....aside from the Tribute/Memorial show WWE did, and in the most spectacular way as well.

Not me. I hate that celebrity wing with a passion and don't recognize any of its inductees. So if Kaufman got inducted you wouldn't recognize it? If Kaufman or Mr. T got inducted, yes I would. Anybody else (and especially Rose & Perry) is a joke. Say what you will about Koko B. Ware, but at least he deserves to be in there more than those two. (I give Uecker a little bit of a pass. I enjoyed his WWE appearances, though I still don't believe he deserves HOF recognition)

There are waaaay to many wrestlers that have died because of drugs. Too many major stars would be left out unfairly

So Bret is willing to induct Shawn? Interesting, even if its a given that HHH will.

Cyndi Lauper ushered in the Rock n' Wrestling era, helped give MTV it's highest ratings it had ever seen, appeared at Brawl To End It All, War To Settle The Score, and the very first Wrestlemania, and got Hall of Famer Wendi Richter massively over. I'm not saying that's more than Taylor or Mr.T (I think these three should be the only ones in the celebrity wing), I'm just saying that that is alot of credidentials to get into the Hall of Fame, celebrity or not.

I still believe that Andy Kaufman deserves the spot. Sure, he was never in WWE, but his feud was big enough with Lawler that it got on the David Lettermen show. That happening in the pre-Rock 'n' Wrestling days is HOF worthy to me. But you can feel free to disagree.

www.impactwrestling.com/Content.aspx?ID=35837- Former World Champion Lex Luger is reportedly in talks with WWE for an appearance at WrestleMania 27 in Atlanta this year. No word yet on what Luger could be doing but it may be a Hall of Fame induction or something else.
