Batista seems like a lock as this year’s headliner.
Bam Bam Bigelow was apparently on the short list last year and the rumor was they decided to wait for 2019 and the New Jersey connection. I’m really hopeful that’s true, although the recent passing of Jim Neidhart as well as the mention on RAW tonight of him as a future HOFer has me thinking Anvil might take the posthumous inductee spot from Bam Bam. A Bret Hart induction speech/Natalya acceptance speech doesn’t seem far fetched.
I would imagine the female inductee would be someone we’ve seen compete recently at either Rumble or Evolution: I’m thinking Molly Holly since she inducted Ivory last year, but Michelle McCool, Kelly Kelly, and Torrie Wilson are all possibilities as well.

So what is going on with the Hall of Fame this year? Usually by now we have a headliner announced. Are they having a problem securing a big name? Have the dirt sheets mentioned anything?

They could get around it and induct the Hart Foundation tag team, since then you get Bret and Nattie to accept it. It makes it a little less depressing.

I was wondering that myself. Looking back at the HOF threads for the past two years, it was right around mid-January that we got our first name. WWE usually announces the headliner the same week tickets go on sale in order to spike interest and ticket sales early; I checked the Barclays Center website and the on-sale date is listed as TBA.

Who are the realistic options to go in as the headliner this year? I don’t see Taker or Rock doing it just yet. I guess maybe Batista? They’re running out of headliners at this point. There’s Taker, Rock, Batista, Jericho, Vince, Triple H, Cena, Kane, Big Show, & Owen. But outside of those first 3 names I don’t see the others going in anytime soon.

Could be reading into this but on yesterdays Jim Cornette's Drive Thru he mentioned that he was going to making a public appearance this spring that was going to be televised and he could say more about it later. It would make sense saying this is the 35 Anniversary of the Corny/Condrey/Eaton Midnight Express.

My money was on Jericho but now he’s gone to AEW, I can’t see it happening (even if apparently he still has a decent relationship with Vince).

Wildcard induction: nwo. They have Hogan back on board. It makes most sense to induct hall, Nash, Hogan as faction and maybe include bischoff. Would be a good co headliner with a solid name like Batista

I think Muhammad Ali should have been in two years ago, I hope they get him in this year.
As for the others:
Marquee Inductee: The Rock Super Heavyweight Inductee: Vader Top Card Inductee: Rob Van Dam Upper Midcard Inductee: The Honky Tonk Man Midcard Inductee: Rick Martel Tag Team Inductee: Demolition Female Inductee: Miss Elizabeth (possibly Lillian Garcia) Manager (if not combined with the Female inductee): Lanny Poffo Celebrity: Muhammad Ali (Andy Kaufman or Cyndi Lauper possibly)
Watch they give the Warrior Award to Roman.

How about The Master & Ruler of the World? Sid? Given what he has said about Steve Austin, I think his induction (while due) won't happen for two years when Mania is back in the Midwest. I realized I left out the International Inductee and that's either Keiji Mutoh or Kenta Kobashi

NY/NJ? How about headliner - Paul Heyman? Bam Bam Bigelow as the 2nd.
Others: Molly Holly, the Hart Foundation (tag team, not stable), William Regal, Christian, Muhammad Ali (inducted by daughters Laila and Hana).
That's my 2019 Class.

I would think they wait until they're back in Florida to induct Rock.

Its quite likely Wrestlemania 36 will be back on Orlando, so they may wait until then to induct The Rock, I feel the fact they havent announced a headliner yet, which usually happens at the beginning of the year, they are probably still trying to iron something out, if they had Rock on board they would have locked him in ages ago due to his schedule and would have announced it earlier in the month.
