Considering no new names were added this week, it appears as though the 2018 class list of finalized. It seems like the first time in a long time that gone without a dead person to get inducted. The rumors heavily favored Bam Bam Bigelow, but that may be postponed for next year. Still, there are lots of late greats like Earthquake and Day Boy that have yet to go in.

There will still be posthumous Legacy Wing inductees. We usually find out who they are once the t-shirt with their images leaks. Though last year the original reports left off Bearcat Wright and yet he was inducted and on the shirt. So even those reports are not final until we actually see the video package.
But yeah, it sucks that there is no traditional posthumous induction this year. Dr Death Steve Williams would have been a good choice given the territory. I am hoping Ivan Koloff, Lord Alfred Hayes, and Ray the Crippler Stevens get regular inductions but they might end up going in via the Legacy Wing.

It was supposed to be Bam Bam, but the rumour is that the WWE realized that WM is in Jersey next year, so they decided to hold it off to make it more meaningful.

Makes sense, even better if they pull the trigger and get Vader in there as well (I'd love to see Big, Bad, and Dangerous entered in at the same time even if they weren't together stateside). Slight sidenote: I randomly decided to watch Major Payne with the kid a few days ago and I completely forgot that Bigelow was the biker hired by the kids to take Payne out:  |

King Kong Bundy. For those who weren't there, the build up to WM2 was one of my favorite of that era and the cage match delivered even if the rest of the card didn't quite. |

If only there was a woman that inspired non-standard looking female wrestlers that deserves to go in...

Bundy is part of the concussion lawsuit, so he’s a no-go for now. Same with Kamala unfortunately. |

It's pretty refreshing to have a year without a deceased inductee, those are mostly downers at times, so this year's ceremony should be a lot lighter. I'd certainly expect Bigelow to be part of next year's class though.

I think Chyna is to Stephanie what Macho Man was to Vince...she's going to get her due but there's obviously a LOT of personal baggage the McMahon has to set aside first. Remember Macho Man didn't go in right after his death, took a few years..and I doubt it was due to Lanny's crazy "All Poffos must enter the Hall" statement. |
