I read too much into everything, one of my shining qualities.
But British Bulldog going in to get eyes from lapsed UK fans the same Mania we get the first WWE champion from Britain?

Hopefully they go back to the old set. Besides the Bret incident, why would half the audience want to watch an acceptance speech with the inductees backs turned to them?

Bulldog absolutely should be in. I thought they might put him and Dynamite in but Dynamite might be a bit controversial? DBS was my absolute favorite wrestler from 1992-97.

Thatβs not the point. Because the Bellas are more recent, thereβs 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. Itβs not as if Victoria and Molly are ancient, however. No theyβre not ancient but neither was Luna and it bugs me that they never gave her a full induction when she was alive or even as a posthumous full inductee in the 2010s. Iβm not saying either Victoria or Molly arenβt long for this world but in ten years from now the Bellas will still be relatively fresh in the memory, Molly and Victoria not as much.

I wonder if we will see a return by harry Smith/dh smith after this. It would make sense for him to accept and if he was back on the roster it would be cool.
Bret is the only one to induct him from a historical career aspect. They could go with an nxt UK worker. Are there any well known English wrestlers that would make sense?

Maybe eventually, but now he is working with MLW and All Japan.

I know the WWE HOF is a work, but the Bellas going in before other deserving people *still* bothers me!

On the one hand, I say it's about time for Davey Boy. On the other, I wish he and Dynamite went in together. Unless they make Davey a double inductee down the road, I don't see Dynamite getting in now.

They can always go the Legacy Hall of Fame route with Dynamite. That seems to be their preferred method for getting some deceased wrestlers in.

I mean, yeah heβs a dick IRL, but you canβt really say itβs unwarranted that he goes in, even if there actually were some statistical criteria.

So who inducts everyone? NWO: Sting or Luger Batista: He wants Finlay Liger: Tough call as all his main opponents are dead now. Maybe Tyler Breeze? Bella Twins: Daniel Bryan Davey Boy Smith: Bret Hart JBL: Ron Simmons

So who inducts everyone? NWO: Sting or Luger Triple H. That much is probably certain. Batista: He wants Finlay Ask and he shall receive. Though I think Finlay may also be looking for Davey Boy's. They were in WoS at much the same time, I think. Liger: Tough call as all his main opponents are dead now. Maybe Tyler Breeze? Finn has a mask that Liger gave him. I can see him and/or Nak getting the nod to induct him. Bella Twins: Daniel Bryan Too obvious, plus they'll likely want someone newer on the women's side. Think Carmella, maybe. Natalya ran at the same time as they did, so it would be a bit awkward. Davey Boy Smith: Bret Hart It probably should be Bret Hart, perhaps along with William Regal, who worked in the UK around the same time or shortly after Young David and Dynamite Kid were tearing things up on World of Sport. Again, Finlay may be a good one as well. JBL: Ron Simmons

JBL could also be Bruce Prichard as they are pretty close friends I think.
