Kaufman is one of two celebrities that’s been long overdue for an induction (Lauper being the other) Lauper is doing something with I think Elton John in Australia during Mania weekend. So maybe she finally goes in at Mania 40 since it’ll be a return to the northeast.

God I want Jim Carrey far away from this. He’ll claim that Andy’s spirit will come and say “step aside I’m doing this,” and host itself in Jim’s body, just so Jim can act like he thinks Andy would
Yeah that whole documentary pissed me off.

It’s about time Kaufman is in and in Hollywood no less. I would love it so much if Tony Clifton did the acceptance speech. I do have to wonder if Lawler is in any condition to do the induction speech.

Could David Letterman induct him if Lawler couldnt?

From PWInsider's paid section:
There has been talk this year's WWE Hall of Fame will honor, for the first time, a WWE referee. We have heard the name they wish to honor but have not confirmed it with multiple sources but it's someone the entire industry loved. Honestly, such a move is way overdue, so kudos to WWE for finally doing it.

Tim White has got to be the one going in. Hebner, Lil Naitch, and White are the big three as options though.

So with H running things, we finally got Kaufman in? Thank goodness. Maybe we can clear up some of the other glaring older omissions like Rick Martell… Rick Martel has been asked before but he doesn’t want anything to do with wrestling anymore which is fair enough.

"Someone the entire industry loved" makes me think Hildebrand as well. Honestly it is kind of crzy a ref has never been in the HOF, I can think of ~5 off the top of my head who deserve it (Hildebrand, Earl Hebner, Nick Patrick, Tim White, Marella, Lil Naitch)

If it's Brian Hildebrand, then that's probably who Foley is inducting, since he was one of Brian's closest friends.

I hope Andy inducts himself into the HOF This would be the greatest thing to happen in the history of entertainment! Old a** Andy comes out (with Jimmy Hart, of course) and starts going off on how there isn't a woman alive that could beat him. Speaking of people to induct him.... Jimmy Hart!

Bring Jesse back just to criticize him for his slow count from Wrestlemania III. LOL
