For the posthumous induction, if not Randy Savage then Brian Pillman. Rick Rude must go in.

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. Me too... that had to be a rib I love that they referenced the GWF in Booker's video package. And then Cole takes it even further and mentions GI Bro. They actually showed WCW era GI Bro in the package

I just wish it had the grocery store fight too.

Congrats to Booker T. That was a nice surprise last night. Also, this means we may FINALLY get the WWE debut of Stevie Ray. For the posthumous induction, if not Randy Savage then Brian Pillman. Rick Rude must go in. Why not Bam Bam since they're in Jersey?

This class is loaded and is just owning all other HoF classes in a big way.

I'd agree except I don't think you can outdo 2005 based on Hogan AND Piper alone...nevermind the rest of that class.

This class is loaded and is just owning all other HoF classes in a big way. Bruno alone makes this the greatest class ever. Add in that Backlund is going in the same year, and it won't even matter who else is in. I'd love for Savage and/or Jake to go in this year, but if not, this class is more than deserving.

- Former WWE Diva Maria Kanellis is currently scheduled to induct Bob Backlund into the WWE Hall of Fame this year.
Huh? Wasn't Maria Menounos originally rumored to induct Backlund since the two are friends? Or did the sheets simply mix up the two Marias?

I'm guessing they just got the names mixed up because it would be kind of odd for Kanellis to induct him.

Where ever you got that took it from a PWInsider audio update where Mike got his Marias mixed up and didn't bother reading his correction.

Yup, Johnson originally said Kanellis in his audio update, then reworded the write-up for the show to mention that he meant to say Menounos. And it's all broken down from there. It's going to be Menounos.

The 2005 class failed partially in that it didn't include a posthumous induction. They could have easily thrown Ray Stevens or Haystacks Calhoun in there.

Posthumous inductions aren't always necessary, though. I don't mind not being depressed every year that someone isn't there to receive their honors... .....also, it failed partially because Mr. T wasn't there, thus having every member of the WM1 main event in the HOF.

Posthumous inductions aren't always necessary, though. I don't mind not being depressed every year that someone isn't there to receive their honors... They are pretty necessary when there's a long line of people worthy or suitable for induction into their Hall of Fame given their standards. This is who they have inducted in 13 ceremonies posthumously. 1. Andre The Giant 2. "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers 3. Antonino Rocca 4. The Grand Wizard 5. Vincent J. McMahon 6. Junkyard Dog 7. Big John Studd 8. Eddie Guerrero 9. "Mr Perfect" Curt Hennig 10. The Sheik 11. High Chief Peter Maivia 12. Eddie Graham 13. Gordon Solie 14. The Von Erichs 15. Gorgeous George 16. Stu Hart 17. Road Warrior Hawk 18. Yokozuna It's wide range of main eventers to midcarders to guys who never worked for WWE. With a finite number of headliners to sell out ceremonies in the future (maybe 10 plus), they can't really afford to skip posthumous inductions given the standards they've already set. 1. Randy "Macho Man" Savage 2. Lou Thesz 3. Owen Hart 4. "Ravishing" Rick Rude 5. "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith 6. Ray "the Crippler" Stevens 7. Paul Bearer 8. Bam Bam Bigelow 9. Haystacks Calhoun 10. The Big Boss Man 11. Miss Elizabeth 12. Jack Tunney 13. The Fabulous Freebirds 14. Bruiser Brody 15. Shohei "Giant" Baba 16. "Flyin" Brian Pillman 17. John "Earthquake" Tenta 18. Lord Alfred Hayes 19. Dick The Bruiser & Reggie "The Crusher" Lisowski 20. Andy Kaufman 21. "Toots" Mondt 22. Johnny Valentine 23. Chief Wahoo McDaniel 24. Gene Kiniski 25. Stan "the Man" Stasiak 26. Dick Murdoch 27. Adrian Adonis 28. "Dr Death" Steve Williams 29. King Curtis Iaukea 30. "Playboy" Gary Hart 31. Paul Boesch 32. Sam Muchnick 33. Edouard Carpentier 34. Karl Gotch 35. Pat O'Connor 36. Big Bill Miller 37. Gory Guerrero 38. "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert 39. Dr Jerry Graham 40. "Crazy" Luke Graham 41. Sky Low Low 42. Professor Toru Tanaka 43. El Santo 44. Rikidozan 45. "Whipper" Billy Watson 46. Dino Bravo 47. Luna Vachon 48. Brian "Crush" Adams 49. Angelo Poffo 50. Willie Gilzenberg I'm just listing people who were in the television era or have connections to WWE, have some sort of international appeal or have connections to future sites of WrestleMania. Next time they go back to Texas I'm quite convinced Paul Boesch will be brought up again. A guy who never really worked for WWE and is one of many famous promoters. Hell Jim Barnett did stuff for WWE and I didn't even list him. Can't discount Poffo given Lanny's claims. Can't discount Crush at the moment because we don't know who they'll choose for Demolition. etc

Does anyone know the song that plays in the majority of the Booker T video? Been trying to find it for the last couple of days and having no luck.
