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. Has to be black ref or FAN riots…

If it’s past tense then it’s either a deceased ref (Brian Hildebrand, Joey Marella or Tim White) or a ref no longer with the company (Earl Hebner or Mike Chioda), only name that can be ruled out is Teddy Long playa

Andy Kaufman going in is long overdue. Also I wouldn’t be a damn bit surprised to see Tony Clifton show up to accept on Andy’s behalf. Nor would I be the least bit surprised to see Andy himself show up

I just realized that come WrestleMania weekend, REM’s song will mention TWO Hall of Fame members. (“Mr. Fred Blassie in a breakfast mess, yeah yeah yeah yeah.”)

Danny Davis arrives to be inducted, but has it taken away due to his lifetime ban plus ten years.

Could the referee be Tommy Young by any chance ?

Charles Robinson? Does anyone hate him? Lol He was my first thought as I think they'd want the first person in that spot to be alive to accept it as tacky as that sounds.

Whoever accepts for Andy should try reading from The Great Gatsby (it's public domain, so no rights issues either) and see how long before they get cut off.

As far as who accepts on Kauffman's behalf, it should be his brothers and sisters. I don't mind a joke here and there, but the HOF shouldn't be a farce and having Zmuda or "Tony" accept on his behalf is a disservice to how serious Andy actually took the wrestling business.

At most, it should just be one brief bit overall, like when the Dudleys were inducted and put the one guy through the table at the end of their induction.

Or Taker doing the in character entrance and raising the urn after Bearer went in.
