I was really looking forward to the first Vince-free HOF, thinking maybe this is the year we get Demolition. Still holding out hope, if not them, the Midnight Express for the tag team.
I’m betting The Rock is the headliner.
Great Muta, after retirement, absolutely deserves to go in.
For the women, Leilani Kai. She is long overdue as are Rockin’ Robin and Velvet McIntyre.
I’m once again renewing my call for Brian Pillman.

Sid Goldust/Dustin Rhodes R Truth Did R-Truth officially retire? He hasn’t been around since the 24/7 got retired, but we would’ve heard something if he was done.

It’s February. WrestleMania is in eight weeks. Is this the closest we’ve come to a Hall of Fame induction ceremony with no Hall of Famers announced beforehand?

[quote author=" Push R Truth" source="/post/17034257/thread" timestamp="1675454216" Goldust/Dustin Rhodes [/quote] Only if he retires before the HOF ceremony and doesnt stay in AEW (Granted, they could put him in even if he works for AEW as a favor to Cody).

[quote author=" Push R Truth" source="/post/17034257/thread" timestamp="1675454216" Goldust/Dustin Rhodes Only if he retires before the HOF ceremony and doesnt stay in AEW (Granted, they could put him in even if he works for AEW as a favor to Cody).[/quote] Ric was in TNA during one of his Hall of Fame inductions, so there's some precedence there and I doubt Tony would have too much of an issue with letting Dustin do it.

My HOF Predictions if I had it my way:
Batista Goldust Midnight Express & Jim Cornette AJ Lee Bull Nakano Andy Kaufman William Regal
Legacy HOF: Woman (HOF or Legacy HOF, this would be messy so I get why it won’t happen. Still wish it would though)

Luna is already in. They quietly ushered her in with the legacy wing. Ugh. I hate the legacy wing. Some people there should really be in the hall Get used to it since even the 80s themselves have become "oldies". Heck I think most of last year's were 90s and up. Doubly so for the women...because remember how they "started" the history of the division with 1993. I have my feelings why that is. And yes, Lauper would be included in those suspicions (that and I've heard anything from her not being available/wanting to go, to her having issues with a certain other member of the celebrity wing and wanting him out before she accepts...)

Brutus Beefcake for a legit period around 89-90 was possibly the most over babyface besides Warrior or Hogan........and he was getting crickets a few years ago when he was inducted. Other then maybe Martel or Demolition I don't think we are gonna see any Pre New Generation stars inducted in the future unless they do another Legacy wing for people posthumously

Cornette and the Midnight Express might get in sometime in the next few years, albeit maybe not this time. I know Rock and Austin both want it to happen, and they're probably not alone. I guess it depends on if they'd be worried Cornette would misbehave, though he didn't for the Rock 'N Roll Express, so maybe he'd behave for Eaton's posthumous sake and Stan Lane and/or Dennis Condrey's.

The biggest reason Cornette probably isn't showing to Mania this year is that he has a fear of air-travel, and I think will flat out not get on an airplane these days. So a Midnight Express induction involving Cornette may have to wait for Mania to be held in closer proximity to Kentucky.

Count me in for Midnight Express. It is a shame that Bobby isn't around anymore to get to enjoy it. Cornette 100% will be on his best behavior.
I'd expect more of the ECW names like Bam Bam to get in when they are in Philly.
Martel just seems to be done with wrestling but I'd still like him to go in and maybe we can get one more random Tito/Martel brawl like they did with any RR, battle royal, or multiman tag match post Strike Force breakup.
Sid needs to go in, but it will need to be an 'early' Mania, god knows he won't miss softball practice or a game.
