Anyone else pretty much pissed off we won't get to see the Hall of Fame until AFTER WrestleMania? definitely. hall of fame is supposed to be "the home run derby," or "all star saturday night" of mania weekend. the big event before the big event. it wont feel the same watching it after |

Anyone else pretty much pissed off we won't get to see the Hall of Fame until AFTER WrestleMania? Not at all. You gotta look at the positives to the change as well. For me, Ive never watched it on its original airdate so I cant relate to those that disagree with the move. I usually DVRd it or downloaded it, to watch usually on the Monday after Mania ironically. From the WWE's perspective it gives them a chance to give us a MUCH better show. They have the time to edit it cohesively and make it tons better from a production standpoint. Ideally, it'd be nice if they aired it in its entirety, but thats not going to happen. Having it on Monday night also should give it a better rating, and that may lead USA to giving the future induction ceremonies a full airing at some point. Also, its worth pointing out that the guys being inducted in years past had to stick to strict rules regarding time of speeches and such. Now they dont. They can give their full speech and production handles the edits. Its a big positive for them and thats who the night is about. Theres too many positives for the move from my perspective. I would probably think differently if they were airing the full thing, but its essentially just a highlights show. |

I like that they are being inducted as The Road Warriors, as opposed to the Legion of Doom. usually WWE would wanna go by the name they trademarked for them.

I am fine with most that are getting included, but I wonder if Vince will ever pull the trigger on inducting someone like the Midnight Express (who undoubtedly deserve it even though they never had a WWE run). I wonder if Cornette would swallow his pride for his teams benefit and participate.

Add me to the 'glad the hall of fame won't air until Monday' team. The video package they'll play for it during Wrestlemania itself will be fresh. The introduction of the new hall entrants to the live crowd will be a good segue into the Undertaker/Triple H match actually, cause Shawn will get the most attention.

This has become my favorite HOF class so far. My Second Favorite Singles wrestler from my third favorite tag team (Shawn Micheals) My Favorite Woman (Sunny) My second Favorite Tag Team (Road Warriors) I was also a pretty big fan of Hacksaw as well. I'm pumped. Anyone else pretty much pissed off we won't get to see the Hall of Fame until AFTER WrestleMania? I'd always forget it was on until flipping around and catching maybe the last 2 minutes. when is it coming on this year? |

I wonder if Cornette would swallow his pride for his teams benefit and participate. Abdullah the Butcher, Nick Bockwinkel, Verne Gagne, Eddie Graham, Gordon Solie, Bill Watts (although was a WWE booker), The Brisco Brothers (One of em obv was in after his in-ring was over) are all members who spent very little time (if any) in the WWE. No one knows what the eligibility or selection procedures are, so its hard to say why some guys are getting in and some not. Right now, the most glaring name not in is Macho Man. Until he gets in, I can't really complain about someone else not getting in. |

It was announced at the Wrestlemania press conference that Triple H will be inducting Shawn.

However, Bruno Sammartino not being in is ridiculous, though you can't blame WWE when Bruno doesn't want to be in their Hall of Fame. Bob Backlund needs to be inducted as well, but Savage is overall more deserving. |

I believe Backlunds is his choice, as hes "not retired yet" Yes, I think he turned them down in either 2006 or 2007 because he said he was not retired. However, since that time he did appear at the Raw 15th Anniversary Battle Royal, so it would seem that he is still willing to make appearances for WWE. |

Sadly, this will have to be a posthumous induction, unless Bruno leaves a directive for his estate to sue the WWE if they ever try to do that. Maybe not as much as Savage, but Jake Roberts and Dynamite Kid are also guys that need to go in pronto. |
