Even if they did make a physical Hall of Fame as a tourist attraction I imagine it would go out of business very quickly. They couldn't sustain having a set go-to WWE location even back when their popularity was at its absolute peak, I sure as hell don't see how they would pull it off now.

It pretty much has to be a traveling exhibit that happens before shows but since they’re apparently no longer gonna be a traveling show and just a TV show, I guess they want a building.

They need to put one in Universal Studios. Nothing huge, but big enough to still be cool and might have a chance to not go out of business as fast.

I hope they have a dark ride game in it where you ride the DX Tank and shoot WCW alumni. Except you can’t shoot Alex Wright. Ever. Or (power) bomb Billy Kidman.

Part of that is because Times Square's rent is f***ing nuts. That's obviously not the only reason. Owning the building and property will help a Hall of Fame last longer.

The one thing I would want is replicas of entryways, with a (reasonable, so no Benoits or anything) option of music to come out to, reliving old entrances and such.

No, they were renting a massive property in prime location in the most expensive real estate on the planet that was just mediocre bar food and a gift shop. If they owned the property and had actual reasons for people to spend at least 4 hours there, they'd be fine.

Could go in the Mandela effect thread but I swear Flair makes this claim at least once a year, this certainly isn’t the first time he’s said this I’m sure.

Believe it when I see it. And I won’t believe it lasts very long until it does. I don't know much about the Performance Center campus (if there's even a campus?) but could it be located there? I reckon that'd probably prolong any shot it has of remaining open for a while...

I'm sure it will be just as successful as WWE New York was.

Vince would totally have an exhibit on his ass (where you get to pay extra to kiss the replica). Every hour the replica will do tricks.

He probably already had it made, but market research said the Stacy Keibler one was a better sell at the time. ...yes, in case you forgot, there was one of Stacy Keibler's backside (couldn't find a picture from Axxess, but...):
