This class is ridiculously good so far it kinda sucks that don't usually only two of the inductions get televised? I'm assuming it will be Foley and Bruno so that sucks for Backlund and Trish. I think it will be Trish, Foley, and Bruno on TV. Backlund will be cut. That's my prediction. but if theres a celebrity they are always televised

If Schwarzenegger inducts Bruno, he could be the celebrity press

With the amount of potential celebrities they can induct with connections to MSG and New York, it's highly unlikely we won't get one inducted this year.
There's still 7 Raws to go before WrestleMania AND they have been known to announce inductees on Smackdown and WWE.com. Yokozuna last year for example.

Kamala was at one point rumored to be inducted this year. I haven't heard anything about that lately though, and I'm not even sure if he would be able to attend due to his poor health.

The celebrity inductee is usually added to get press from the sports and or entertainment media which Bruno did. I don't think we will get a celeb this year and in the future whatever year Rock,HHH and Undertaker get inducted.

^^ I got used to the previous one fairly quick, although it always kinda looked odd (given how well the classes usually were I never had a reason to really dislike it). But this is much nicer.....very sleek.

It's a bit "just discovered the gradient tool", but it works well enough. I presume that they'll be throwing in the date in the space at the bottom? If not, it's a little empty down there.

Not gonna lie, it looks like something I'd have made playing around with WordArt in Microsoft Word.

Yes. But we've still got 6 more RAW's until WrestleMania. Plus they've been known to make announcements on Smackdown. Like Yokozuna last year.

Part of me would actually be quite fine if they capped it at 4, now that they've announced Bruno. ........unless, of course, Martha woke up tomorrow morning and realized she had a change of (avoiding the pun avoiding the pun avoidingthepun) hart ( AH DAMMIT). Yes. But we've still got 6 more RAW's until WrestleMania. Plus they've been known to make announcements on Smackdown. Like Yokozuna last year. Mil Mascaras was inducted last year too, yes? His induction was announced (well before others) by HHH on a Smackdown taped in Mexico.

They've never inducted less than 7 people (not counting 93) nor had less than 6 inductions. So if 12 years of tradition holds we're in for at least two more inductions and three more people. There could be more than that though.

I wish they'd just stick to this 4. I hate that we only get like 3 televised inductions.

Celebrity induction news {Spoiler}
The Wrestling Observer is reporting two things.
First that Cyndi Lauper is being considered for induction this year. But...
Second that Donald Trump was at one point scheduled to be announced as the celebrity induction last Monday, but it obviously didn't happen. Whether that is because the deal fell apart or they decided to push it back a week is unknown.
My thoughts: Trump's induction would take this class into the gutter. Not because he's a celebrity, but because he's a controversial mess. Lauper deserves it more for what she did for the WWF and is least likely to cause bad press outside of the "HoF is a joke because they induct celebrities" crowd.
Though I wonder if the tea party backlash on Swagger/Colter this past week has anything to do with why Trumps induction video was pulled.
