I know they put Flair in twice but absolutely no need to put Bret/Jimmy in twice, give Anvil his due on his own, have Bret do the induction and Nattie,Ellie and his other daughters accept

They should have made it the 1997 Hart Foundation. That way, Owen gets into the HOF by association and Martha can't do anything about it so long as they don't use Owen's name to promote it. The '97 Hart Foundation will never go in as long as Martha, Oje and Athena feel the way they do about WWE. The only way the faction could go in is if they pretend Owen was never part of it, and there's no point in doing that. And also, like... The only reason to even induct the faction is JUST as a workaround for Owen. Davey Boy could easily go in either by himself or with Dynamite Kid and Pillman could go in on his own.

Am actually wondering if there IS going to be a Hall of Fame 2019 tbh. Me too. Atleast in terms of taking place in Barclays the night before Mania. Maybe they have a small ceremony at a smaller venue with people who want to be there ie family, friends of inductees and WWE higher ups. No wrestlers unless they want to go.

Apparently an advertisement ran last night in the local New York market saying that D-Generation X will be inducted. The group induction will include Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, X-Pac, and Chyna. link to the video advertising their induction

EDIT: And just like the Four Horsemen induction, WWE is going to have to make a deal with another company to allow one of them to be inducted. WWE made a deal with TNA for Flair back in 2012 and it looks like WWE will need to work something out with AEW for Billy Gunn.

I can only imagine what a worthy trade for Billy Gunn would be in 2019. “Uh... I’m sure we can get together a couple of unsold No Way Jose shirts.”

DX is actually rather baffling to me. Triple H, the Outlaws, X-Pac, and Chyna could all easily sustain their own inductions and it just feels like it'd undercut whenever Triple H's solo one eventually happens.

That shit is dumb and petty as it is, how can you block someone from using their FAMILY Last Name??

I could see Triple H not wanting to do a solo one from the standpoint that people will see it as nepotism, even if he was a world champion before he so much as dated Stephanie. That's never mattered to people who would be upset about it, though, and I think he'd probably just think it'd be a bad look. This also lets him side-step the issues that Chyna presents, and X-Pac to a somewhat lesser degree. Both of them are deserving, but both are also eyebrow-raisers on their own.

If I recall, they have never threatened to od so, but Cody wanted to show he could do it without the name. Someone found that WWE does have the merchandise rights to the name, which is probably the only thing they could f*** him on if he was using it, but those are set to expire this year, when he will presumably buy them and probably go back to using it.

That shit is dumb and petty as it is, how can you block someone from using their FAMILY Last Name?? Because they owned the name. You have to protect your trade marks

I think HHH will avoid accepting a solo induction for a good long while yet. IIRC Vince doesn't plan on going in until after he's either retired or dead, and while I don't think HHH will wait quite that long, I suspect he'll wait long enough to put some distance between his performing career and his induction.

I don't get the big deal about people going in twice. It's no different than someone like Eric Clapton or Paul McCartney getting honored for their solo work and for the different bands they were in. I know WWE hyped Ric Flair as a "two time Hall of Famer" but that's just typical pro wrestling ballyhoo.

Cody did, but it seems like there were still some complications there.

They were just a bit below the top tier guys like Austin and The Rock in terms of popularity during the peak of the Attitude Era.

Triple H's initial HoF induction comes as part of a group, with Billy Gunn.
SOAK THAT SHIT IN FOREVER FOLKS.
