Road Warrior Animal said in an interview this week that that WWE is looking at a building in Tampa, Florida for the location of the actual WWE Hall of Fame. He said they're asking wrestlers to donate things like wrestling gear for it.
If that's true, then Bruno loses one of his argument points. He's said repeatedly that when people ask him to "do it for the fans" in regards to induction, he says "where would the fans go to view this hall of fame?" If this does happen over the next few years, I wonder if he'll acknowledge it or just brush it off.
One thing that pisses me off about Bruno is that he treats those who have let themselves be inducted as servants of McMahon in that Vince snaps his fingers they go jumping for him. It's terribly disrespectful and I wish those that interview him would call him out on it. But they won't because who wants to upset the living legend.

It was announced at the Wrestlemania press conference that Triple H will be inducting Shawn. I was interested to see who else Shawn might've gone with, but sometimes the obvious pick is the best one. Sure, it's fun to create a little drama every now and again, but you only get inducted once. May as well do it right. |

I think WWE is thinking one day, they will be on better terms with Flair again and he will induct Arn or the Four Horsemen as a group will get in. Then again, this could mean guys like Roma and Benoit could be considered HOF members....so maybe just Anderson and Blanchard.
Who will induct Road Warriors? I LOLed about Rocco. I think Animal's son would be an option too. It would be funny for Demolition to induct them. I could see Dusty doing it too.

Then again, this could mean guys like Roma and Benoit could be considered HOF members....so maybe just Anderson and Blanchard. If the group gets inducted, it should be the other originals... Arn and Ole Anderson, Tully Blanchard and J.J. Dillon. In regards to the other members, Curt Hennig is already in, while Barry Windham, Lex Luger, Sting, Sid Vicious and Brian Pillman can get inducted by themselves another time. Maybe Dean Malenko too someday, but definitely not Roma, Benoit or Mongo. Also, it's funny you mention the Roma/Benoit situation, because that's why I think WWE is inducting The Road Warriors, not The Legion of Doom. They get out of inducting Droz (who has a couple of pictures in their gallery strangely enough) and Heidenreich by doing that.  |

Probably NWA buddy and WarGames partner Dusty Rhodes. Someone I was hoping for was old NWA and WarGames rival Arn Anderson. |

I'll say Dusty abducts Abdullah. It only makes sense considering all the brawls they've had over the years.

Will they ever do multiple inductions like the RnR HOF? For example, they could induct Flair as a Horseman as well as solo.

As far as wrestlers already in the HOF; here are the strongest candidates to be inducted again: -Hulk Hogan inducted for original nWo -Ric Flair for Four Horsemen -Shawn Michaels for DX or The Rockers -Bret Hart for Hart Foundation |

They said the same thing about dress code at the HoF before Wrestlemania 25 and I didn't see a single sign about dress code when I got to the arena. No one that I saw in attendance was dressed "business casual", everyone was in t-shirts and shorts/jeans. |

Imagine some idiot writer who has no idea about the history of wrestling or the people he's inducting handing a script to say, Sunny or Bob Armstrong. Writer: Remember, you want to dedicate this to your late husband Kevin Corino. Sunny:... his name was Chris Candido, you idiot. Kevin Dunn: Don't worry, we'll revise the script. Bob Armstrong: Why are we reading from scripts anyway. Shouldn't we say things from the heart? Kevin Dunn: NO! That's what they do in ... (shudders) Wrestling. We are ENTERTAINMENTS, and in entertainements, we use scripts. Now, let's get all of the divas who have no idea who you are, Sunny, to induct you up on stage now. (By the way, We're not Wrestling.) Snork this company. |

Stupid question...
Is there a way to watch this live tonight? Or do you more or less have to wait until Monday to see the short version, then buy the Mania DVD to see the longer version?
