They'll probably induct Maria Menounos and I'll hate it because she's literally shoe-horned into a million diva tag matches that nobody gives a shit about. Maria Menounos would actually deserve it. She's one of the better celebrities who actually gives a shit about wrestling and actually tries in the ring. My issue with Menounos is I literally cannot name a single match she was in's participants because they are all interchangable and all have the same storyline about heels showing up on set and getting into a fight. The closest one I can recall is when she got Eve's fake tan on her ass and I think Kelly was her partner. I couldn't tell you who Eve's partner was to save my life. She's a fan of wrestling and she tries, but she's probably one of the least memorable celebrities to get multiple appearances.

Evander Holyfield. Have Tyson induct him. It writes itself.

She's one of the better celebrities who actually gives a shit about wrestling and actually tries in the ring. It's nice that she's a wrestling fan but she's a C list celebrity who just can't draw for WWE like bigger celebrities have or can in the future. Unless something dramatic happens in her career that suddenly thrusts her into the spotlight, there's no point in inducting her. It's one thing to give "thank you" inductions to hard working career wrestlers, it's another to give that to a celebrity who's sole purpose is to draw attention but essentially fails to do so.

The funny thing about bringing Snooki up in threads like this is that unlike so many of the last decade's worth of cheap celebrity publicity stunt appearances, she really didn't embarrass herself the way a lot of others did.
Also, if they're ever going to even remotely consider that long string of guest hosts, they have to consider Hugh Jackman. Was about as close to A-list as they could get for it, seemed genuinely enthused by his participation and had a helluva spot with Ziggler. Not condoning putting ANY of the guest hosts in, but if they do, he should be a top consideration.

Also, would be great to see him and Punk run into each other backstage during a skit and just give each other double-takes.

I think Arnold Schwarzenegger deserves a spot. He's a fan of the business, had a Smackdown episode revolve around him, and the induction speech would be a fun listen.

My issue with Menounos is that she'd probably give a 90 minute acceptance speech.

If they can get him to work a pay-per view it would be fantastic. As you said, his enthusiasm and energy during that RAW really was far and away better than most guest hosts. For celebrities I kinda like them to do about two or three significant things before induction. His guest hosting of RAW is a great start, but now he needs a Mania spot.

Muhammad Ali, Cyndi Lauper, Mr. T, and Andy Kaufman seem to be the only deserving candidates left. Maybe Bob Barker can make it in, too. Arsenio Hall? During the late 80s/early 90s when the WWF really needed some mainstream attention in their corner, Arsenio was more than happy to not only have wrestlers on his show, but play along and interview them entirely in kayfabe. From main-eventers to mid-carders, I don't recall another host (possible exception of Regis) giving that much shine to the roster. That's why I thought Regis should have gone in this year while they were in New York. Off the top of my head only he and Arsenio interviewed Warrior in-character. Plus Regis is in his 80's, so they might as well have done it now.

Leslie Nielsen and George Kennedy.
And yep...Undertaker has to induct them. They'll finally have found him.

I have a feeling they won't induct Regis Philbin while he's still alive. The 'E is afraid his acceptance speech will make everybody else's look like crap in comparison.

Interesting side note: when Kim Kardashian was doing backstage interviews at Mania that one time, that was the first time I'd ever seen her.

If Vince's limo driver gets to be in the Hall Of Fame it would make sense if the torch is being passed to HHH then his favorite band Motorhead being inducted.

Who are you to doubt Snooki? She made the top face diva at the time look like a hack, simply due to having a cheerleading background. She might even have embarrassed the front office into hiring the kind of talent we have now.
