What about another group/stable? DX? The Heenan Family? Triple H is important enough to be inducted alone first before they induct DX. The Heenan Family is way too broad to induct and goes through a couple of decades and multiple companies. Also, I think stables or groups of wrestlers who happen to share the same manager are not quite as memorable as a stable of wrestlers who band together like NWO, Nexus, and DX. The Heenan Family was more like Devestation, Incorporated, the Stud Stable, Jimmy Hart's first family, etc. The wrestlers in these groups were united under the same manager and worked together, but they just weren't quite as united like groups like NWO, DX, Nexus, Horsemen.

Bruno Sammartino was on Vintage Collection this week, unfortunately it was an awful lumberjack match against Randy Savage which isn't the best introduction to people who may not have seen him wrestle before.
I'm guessing some people would be interested in this news as it suggests more of his matches appearing on TV and DVDs in the future.

Are you allowed to take pictures at the hall of fame ceremony?

They probably showed that because, IIRC, that was one of his (if not THE) last match on WWF TV.

In an interview he did with Wade Keller for PWTorch's livecast a few weeks ago, X-Pac basically said DX was going to be put in the HoF this year if Hunter wouldn't have been able to get Bruno to agree to an induction.

Nothing against Booker going in, but again...it's one of those things where it feels like they're overlooking other guys in favor of selling tickets. It may have made more sense to induct Harlem Heat.

this years looks like a good class. i just hope that the inductees are given time to speak this year. what made last years so good was that they were given enough time to speak.

It may have made more sense to induct Harlem Heat. i just think they needed to induct someone quick, and off course booker t could do it on short notice. also fills a "black quota" if they think like that. probably should have waited since he could have been a headliner on a down year. but well deserving

But they could have just as easily gotten Teddy Long too. Maybe Kamala turned them down. I laugh if that happened though. Anyways, I am hoping for a posthumous induction. Hopefully a super heavyweight like Bam Bam Bigelow, Shohei Baba, Earthquake or Haystacks Calhoun. They need to induct more super heavyweights and they certainly need at the very least one posthumous induction per class. Though they should be at two.

Booker T. deserves it. I have wondered over the years if he would go in solo, as Harlem Heat, or as Booker T. and Sharmell.
I wonder if he is inducted by Stevie Ray, Sharmell, or maybe Goldust. Or someone else.

Stacked doesn't even begin to describe this years class now. Don't we still have one or two more names to come as well?

The Past couple of years have featured a tag team or a stable and a posthumous inductee I see Demolition and maybe Bam Bam Bigelow getting in either this year or next 2 years

Are you allowed to take pictures at the hall of fame ceremony? Of course. As long as you're not recording it, taking still pictures is perfectly fine. I chuckled at WWE using part of Booker's infamous "We comin' for YOU, (n-word)!" during the video package.

Trish because her boobs ain't real. Trish had her breast implants taken out after she retired from WWE. So they're real now. I know that's been reported but she still has an above average rack. Either there's still silicone there or she never really needed them in the first place.

I love that they referenced the GWF in Booker's video package. And then Cole takes it even further and mentions GI Bro.

Or someone else. Scott Steiner. Or maybe Big T(and they will ignore the fact that he was Ahmed Johnson and pretend he was never in WWE!)Wonder what they will say when either of them induct Booker.

For the posthumous induction, if not Randy Savage then Brian Pillman.
