Possible idea for the next Hall of Fame...

[BrianZane]

Has anyone thought to induct Scott Hall and Kevin Nash as a collective unit? It makes sense, since they were the first ones to "invade" WCW as the Outsiders, which led the way to the whole nWo storyline. The two are practically synonymous with one another. Add that to the fact that they are both really good friends of Triple H and that as of this writing, Hall has been clean for a good chunk of time, would this year be the one to pull the trigger? Don't forget, this year's WM marks the 20th anniversary of Hall's ladder match with Shawn Michaels.

idk there would be a lot of temptation for Hall to relapse.

Being inducted into the HOF? It's not like he'd be going back on the road, and it's basically a guarantee he'd bring his son with him. He'd be just fine.

What a shitty reason to not induct someone...a realistic concern i
For some maybe, but still a shitty reason.

Why not the original 3 NWO as a group? Seems like a lot of effort to specifically exclude Hogan.

I would say because they already inducted Hogan as an individual...then again, that didn't stop them from inducting the Horsemen after Flair.

I almost think they'll induct DX (as has been rumored) before they induct the nWo, but that would make about as much sense as if they inducted Demolition before the Road Warriors.

[Next Level was WRONG]

Nash apparently refuses to go in before Rick Rude.

[Manute Bol]

I'd love to see a really huge Hall of Fame class to go along with what looks like a huge WrestleMania card this year. Induct Hall and Nash separately, along with Randy Savage and The Ultimate Warrior. Do it up big for WrestleMania 30.

if Val Venis and Big Dick Dudley ever teamed they would've been called The Collective Unit

[The Heenan Family]

The only one I'm 100% positive will be inducted this time is Ivan Koloff. Beyond that we're looking at The Ultimate Warrior, Paul Bearer, and maybe Lou Thesz now that Bruno is in. They should probably try for Muhammad Ali or Cyndi Lauper. A living super heavyweight like King Kong Bundy, Kamala, One Man Gang, or Vader would be nice too.

If they do a faction though it should be the Fabulous Freebirds. The NWO can wait if Hogan inducts someone like the Warrior (yikes) or Ali. Wasn't the reason why they didn't induct Paul Heyman last time because he was currently an on screen villain? So wouldn't it be weird inducting HHH or Michaels for the second time while they were working a corporate heel angle?

And Yokozuna, as I recall.

Even when it comes to non-wrestling situations, Nash is lazy.

[Emmet Russell]

Yeah I don't think Nash would do it, unless he's changed his mind since all the previous stuff he said.

I think they need to change the HOF ceremony a bit. I believe they have too many inductees each year & they need to cut back, otherwise we'll get more Koko B. Wares in there. Is Jake Roberts in the HOF? if not, I wouldn't mind them inducting DDP, Roberts & Hall. It would be very emotional for all, i'm sure. They'd be able to tell the stories of their recoveries, & get their rightful place in a HOF.

[Crappler El 0 M]

I think they should induct Jake Roberts, Scott Hall, or both. They are clean and look good. Hopefully they will stay this way. Scott Hall could also go in with Nash or with Hogan and Nash.

[mizerable]

I like the idea of inducting the Outsiders. In fact I believe Nash has also supported this. If you were to pick one thing out of either Hall or Nash's career that would be their defining moment, it's definitely the jump.

While you could just induct the nWo, it falls under the whole double induction thing, which I hate, since you'll soon see all the same people getting inducted, while neglecting others. Not that they don't do that already, but it'll be more prominent.

And why isn't Ravishing Rick in the HOF?

[WorkingInAColeMine]

Putting Scott Hall in New Orleans seems like a bad idea

According to X-Pac, if the Bruno induction fell through this past year, the back-up plan was that DX would've been inducted into the Hall of Fame.

[Cranjis McBasketball]

I hope DX goes in so we can finally receive a DVD about them. I recommend "DX: Even We Can't Believe You Bought, Like 29 of These Already, Most of It Isn't Funny or Memorable in Any Way"

I think Bearer has already been announced this year, so who inducts him? Kane? I know the temptation is for Taker and he's the best choice, but since he hardly ever breaks kayfabe on screen, it's likely he won't.

For the 30th Mania, Ali should go in, probably Savage is your biggest Mania related name to not be in yet. I have no objections to Hall or Nash, but it's likely they'd go in as Diesel and Razor with after thought to nWo or Outsiders stuff. Not because Razor and Diesel were better, but they were WWE, so you all know how that is.
