Could the referee be Tommy Young by any chance ? Only if Barbarian inducts him...

Have any ECW originals , as in not wwe/ECW people ever been inducted other than RVD or that Dudley's?
Not this year but I do see ...
Paul Heyman (headliner when inducted) Tommy Dreamer Sabu Sandman The FBI Jazz Maby Todd Gordon?
And I'm more talking about the mid to late 90s ECW I know Tito, Snuka, Murraco and guys like that from Eastern Championship Wrestling are in.

Jazz and Sabu were part of the concussion lawsuit, so that could be a hindrance to WWE putting them in.

And I'm more talking about the mid to late 90s ECW I know Tito, Snuka, Murraco and guys like that from Eastern Championship Wrestling are in. Paul Heyman is a certainty. Dreamer will probably make it cos he was quite big in ECW (as stupid as his vice appearance was in defending Flair), Sabu, assuming they can get past the whole lawsuit over the concussion maybe. Same for Jazz. Sandman I don't see why not due to his popularity at the time (even if he was never a favourite of mine personally) Todd Gordon however...I'd be very surprised. As for F.B.I. I don't see it but if Koko B. Ware can be inducted than why not?

I hope Raven gets inducted by Vince one year, and all he says is "WHO THE F*** INDUCTED RAVEN?"

Koko deserved to be inducted.

I don't understand the apathy towards certain people getting into the 'Hall of Fame' under the guise of 'Well if this person is in, then anyone can get in'. Who cares?
If an organisation wants to acknowledge someone's contribution to their company/industry no matter how small/brief then what's the big deal? For the smaller time workers it could be a lovely way of knowing their work was appreciated in the end - would you really begrudge a lifetime jobber like Horowitz (for example - could be anyone that ate pins every week on TV) getting his thanks from the industry? Might not mean a lot to you or I but it could mean the world to some that gave their all to this world without thanks at the time.
The argument about someone going in before someone else is bollocks to me as well, we all know there's a logistical issue in some case, a legal issue with others and an also emotional issue to consider with some, but does it really matter that one person went in before another? Doesn't lessen the achievements of some of those that are not there yet in my opinion.

Because then the company can just make it an echo chamber for their friends and supporters. If that's what they want to do, then fine. Just don't call it a Hall of Fame. And that way I don't have to hold out hope for legitimate top talent that are still not somehow inducted, even though they are still living.

Koko deserved to be inducted. Most of the people that get pointed to as not deserving to get in either did a lot behind the scenes, or were still super popular which is literally the only part of wrestling that isn't pre determined. or were in the Celebrity wing which is by name different than the main inductions... Like you can only get inducted if you won 3 championships or whatever doesn't really work in a scripted environment...

Koko B Ware was mainly a jobber to the stars, but he was popular and did the main Piledriver song. If they had a cartoon at that time, he'd probably have taken JYD's place at some point. So even though I feel he isn't quite HOF worthy, I can see the argument. In this day and age, he probably would have at least had some Zack Ryder type title runs. I still don't get Queen Sharmell, though.
With only a week to go, I assume they will add Stacy officially and maybe one other besides the Legacy wing.

It's kind of embarassing that "Man on the Moon" was only the 3rd item that came to my mind because of that reference. 1. Thought : Nice, a Max Moon reference. 2. Thought : what has Cameron Grimes to do with the HoF 3. Thought: Oh, right "Man on the Moon"

I wonder if there will be a Warrior Award winner this year. Personally there shouldn't be because let's face it, NOBODY can top Shad Gaspard for why he got the award.

You’re right, but I’d think Damar Hamlin would be a good choice.
