Luger next please. Liger and Luger class of 2020. Yes. Lex has turned himself into a true inspirational story and I'd like to see him get some recognition. Bad wrestler or not, he was crazy popular. |

No problem with the Bellas, and very very much deserved for Liger. Particularly happy that he's going in at the absolute earliest possible time, real sign of respect.

I think Torrie and The Bellas deserve it... but neither deserved it so soon, but they seem to just want to sell tickets so putting in whats still quite fresh seems to be a thing now.

Dave Meltzer said on WOR that in addition to the Bella Twins and Jushin Thunder Liger, Davey Boy Smith will be inducted after heavy lobbying from the Hart/Smith family.

Bulldog going in just makes too much sense so I'm glad that's potentially happening.
Having said that...what a weird class so far. It's like a late 90s WCW roster with the Bellas and Batista there.

The Bellas aren’t my favourites but they would have gone in at some point. My problem is they shouldn’t be in there before Victoria, Molly Holly and others. They’ve had a much bigger impact and are easily bigger stars than Victoria and Molly. |

Regal will probably induct Liger, Liger worked in the UK as Regal was coming up, they were in WCW in the early 90s and Regal has worked Japan a fair bit, I believe Regal was the go between when they snagged Liger for the Breeze match.
Bellas? I guess anyone of the women from the 2010s could be a contender as they worked with pretty much everyone, maybe worth reaching out to AJ if Punk's recent gig means things aren't as frosty as they once were.

They’ve had a much bigger impact and are easily bigger stars than Victoria and Molly. Doesn’t matter. So what if their reality show gave them exposure? They haven’t even been officially retired from the ring for a year. In the NBA and NHL you’ve got to be retired for three full years before you’re eligible. Five years for the NFL and MLB. I mean the WWE Hall of Fame is a joke anyways but c’mon... |

I wonder if Bret will induct Davey, especially after the incident last year and him making an appearance at All In.

IMO, if Victoria and Molly ever get inducted it'll be like Luna where it's just a passing mention by their veteran's committee. |

As a Brit, happy to see Bulldog in there. Davey Boy from about 92-97, in particular, was a real solid worker.

They’ve had a much bigger impact and are easily bigger stars than Victoria and Molly. That’s not the point. Because the Bellas are more recent, there’s no need to rush their induction. People like Victoria and Molly deserve a full induction and by putting in more recent stars instead of them it means they could end up like Luna Vachon and get a legacy induction instead. |

Understood then about the recency of the Bellas. It’s not as if Victoria and Molly are ancient, however. |
