Every year around this time, WWE Hall Of Fame speculation runs wild, and a big factor every year is the location of Wrestlemania and the Hall Of Fame ceremony. Like this year, wrestlers from New York City are being rumored because the event is in New York City. So who would be rumored for other cities that WM might be in?

hard to tell. since the freebirds weren't inducted in Atlanta who knows if that really plays a factor. only 25 in Houston played a huge role in determining names in the hall. Besides that and Eddie Graham in Florida at mania 24, I don't think location matters all that much

Please have it in Pittsburgh so the Interwebs can explode over the possibility of Bruno AND Angle being inducted at once.

Phoenix, Arizona so that the Honkey Tonk Man rumors can pick up again.

Besides that and Eddie Graham in Florida at mania 24, I don't think location matters all that much Not entirely true. For instance with 24, they went with Peter Maivia and Rocky Johnson because of the Rocks connection with Florida and so many Anoa'i family members living down there (including Rocky Johnson). They also went with Gordon Solie because he was big in the Georgia/Florida region. Both Brisco brothers lived in Florida. And as you said, Eddie Graham was chosen basically for the location. In Atlanta they went with Abdullah the Butcher because he lived there and Bullet Bob because he was a regional star. Plus Sting turned down their invitation. With WM26 they tried to induct Ultimate Warrior and Honky Tonk Man who both live in Phoenix. As you mentioned, WM25 was big with Texas and or Oklahoma. WM28 they inducted Yokozuna for the big Anoa'i family presence in Florida. They certainly tried to induct Savage. His family basically resides in Florida. Though I think a lot of this class was leftovers from the year previous that carried over. So Simmons and the Horsemen were strong favorites for Atlanta (because of the region) but were held off until the next year. Now we're in New York and it seems to be all about Mick Foley, Bruno Sammartino and so on. Next year looks to be in New Orleans at this rate because they couldn't get Houston. So I would expect a bunch of Texans and Mid South territory type guys going in.

If it's ever in Memphis then Sputnik Monroe. (although NOLA would work)

After watching this weeks "Are You Serious?", they need to have a WrestleMania in Nashville just so they can induct David Schultz. Bonus points if they get John Stossel to induct him.

Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara, if WM was in any hospital. Serious answer: I would say celebrity induction of Alice Cooper in Detroit
