It's probably going to be Triple H. However Bruno has some old school friends who are still alive. I'm sure any number of them would love to do the honors. EDIT: Either way, I hope Superstar Billy Graham attends the show.

George the animal Steele would be a good choice to induct him too.

This is one time where I'm going to say that I want Triple H to get the nod. He did his homework on this one. That is, unless Bruno has someone else on his mind to do the honors.

I'd bet Triple H inducts Bruno. They appear to have a great rapport. Triple H personally made it happen and he symbolizes the WWE as a company and the McMahon family. It would be great for someone who symbolizes WWE and the McMahons to induct Bruno.

I hope they don't induct any more wrestlers this year. There are only a few names that could go in with this class and I think most of them deserve not to be overshadowed. I actually hope they get one of the big names for a celebrity induction, like Kauffman or Mr. T.

This years Hall of Fame class is going to be very tough to top. Bought time Bruno took his place, I'm glad it happened whilst his still around

They would never put a celeb in at the same time Bruno's coming in, one of the problems Bruno had with the HOF were the celebs (although they might be able to swing judo gene lebell).

As happy as I am for Bruno (still marking over it), does anyone else think it takes away a bit from Foley's? Maybe Mick should have been in another class where he would have been guaranteed the final spot, the amount that Foley has helped change wrestling not just in WWE, but around the world needs to be considered.
I always thought of Foley as a headline and final inductee, but as people have said this years class is stacked. I am more than happy with Bruno going on last, its just that Foley maybe should have been in another year instead.

I don't necessarily think it takes away from Foley. If anything, it makes Foley's induction that much more special. Bruno represents the wrestler that put MSG on the map, Backlund and Bruno represent the MSG main eventers and Foley represents the guy who went to MSG to see guys like Bruno and Backlund who wound up headlining the Garden himself.

Exactly. This Hall is probably the most meaningful since the hall Hogan went into but more so for those very reasons. Those three men are pretty much the story of the WWE's relationship with the Garden.

Odds there are a few (likely drunk) idiots in the crowd that try to get themselves over with "what?" chants during Bruno's speech?

I'm not sure Bruno would realize what they were chanting right away if it did happen. But I don't think it will. It would certainly be edited for the television version and dvd though.
Right now I'm just nervous about the celebrity inductee. I cannot stress enough how much I do not want it to be David Arquette or Donald Trump. This particular class deserves better. Please let it be Muhammad Ali, Andy Kaufman, Cyndi Lauper, or Mr T. With maybe Lawrence Taylor if it means Bam Bam Bigelow would be going in too.

I don't think WWE wants the ill-will and bad publicity that would go with inducting Lawrence Taylor right now. I know people always counter with, "Well what about Mike Tyson?" The cases are different and the public forgave Tyson many years ago, whether through the documentary or through the Hangover films, or just through time. Also, Tyson's scandal (while very real) didn't involve someone underage.

Then you have Jim Ross praising him on their legends roundtable. Personally I'd shy away from him for a bit longer, but apparently some WWE outlets didn't get the memo?

I'd just forego a celebrity inductee this year, since Bruno has always hated when they were used in wrestling. Yes, I am advocating doing whatever we can to make Bruno happy.
