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. It's not like Corny doesn't know how to behave in public, he sometimes just chooses not to. An induction of the Midnight's, he would absolutely behave. I really don't think he's that kind of asshole.

The one thing I definitely hope we get is more inductions of people who have already been inducted.

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 I'd say Beefcake was super over once the Barber gimmick started in 87 through the early 90s until he left. He also was a tag champion with Valentine earlier in his career. His stint with WCW and his various gimmicks there hurt his overness. Some who just started watching around the Attitude era just remember that. It was a bad way to go out. I'm glad he finally got in in 2019, though. Demolition might get a great pop if they came out in full make up, but due to the lawsuit they may just quietly get backdoored in some day (if they or their families want it).

I think for the Midnights, we'd have to wait until the next Mania in the South. As for this year, I'll say:
Batista The Great Muta William Regal Leilani Kai Demolition
Also, we're a bit early, but it would be a travesty if Heyman didn't go in next year in front of the Philly crowd

Exactly. And also heād be going in himself and will he would get a chance to thank people in his life. I also think from listening to his podcast heās said he wonāt go to the event for no reason but if needed he would, and he will want want to honour Bobby Eaton. I know heās not fond of flying though although he did go England a few years ago but that might be a fly in the ointment, but I think heād do it for the midnight express.

Even though I see the reason for still having the event, that's made the WWE Hall of Fame jump the shark for me. Less of that, please. Itās like the Rock nā Roll Hall of Fame, where artists often are inducted for a band and again as a solo act. Eric Clapton, for example, is a 3-time inductee. It should be sparingly for those who deserve it, but it shouldnāt be ruled out entirely.

One for Black Scorpion and the other for a lifetime achievement honor for being Charlotteās dad.

If it is indeed Batista, I hope his suit is blue.

Highly underrated band. āCanāt Find My Way Homeā is one of my all time favoritesā¦that album cover though. <Randy Orton cringe.gif> lol

The fact that he hasn't been inducted for Blind Faith is more criminal than their album cover. Probably because it was only one album, but if I had my way heād also be in for Blind Faith and Derek and the Dominos.

Itās not realistic, but Iām still pushing for Demolition while theyāre bith still alive, as well as the Fabulous Rougeau Brothers.
The question is, if you induct Demolition, does it include Crush?

I'm also thinking this may be the year Diamond Timothy Flowers gets in. If Ed Carl is still alive he'll probably induct him

How about the Brooklyn Brawler? Heās an elite jobber who also had some time in the Doink gimmick and as Kamalaās manager, while also working backstage for a long time.
Batista, Sid and Demolition are my hopes for the major names.

The question that none of us know the answer to is, who is making the HoF decisions now. We think it was Vince in the past, but is he still doing it? If HHH is doing it now does he put in people that he wants? To me that would be NWA people, maybe the midnight express. But I think if he's in charge we may see some older guys

I think for tag team you gotta go with Demolition. Just Ax and Smash though and not Crush. Demolition had most of their success before Crush came along. By the time Crush got there, the Demos were winding down
