According to Dave Meltzer, Jerry "The King" Lawler was not overly excited about being inducted into the WWE hall of fame. Apparently "The King" feels that the hall of fame implies that he is old and retired, which isn't the impression Lawler wants to convey. Believe it or not, Lawler had baseball tickets, and would have preferred to attend the ballgame rather than being inducted. Lawler was also upset when asked whom he would like to induct him into the hall of fame. Lawler picked legendary announcer Lance Russell, but he was told no one would know who Russell is.

Ya I noticed Lawler didn't look that happy on RAW. His grin seemed forced, and he could've said no.

Modern fans probably had no clue (or cared about) who Verne and Greg Gagne were. Lawler's already got both of those beat in most fans' eyes.

Well Lawler is old and boring.His best days as a colorman are behind him as well so he better get used to it.

Bockwinkel owned.

I suppose you could argue that Bockwinkel never did anything in the WWF, but I totally agree with his induction. A real class act.

In my eyes, Bobby Heenan would be the logical choice to induct Nick Bockwinkel and i must say that i agree with him being in there.

Still no Von Erichs
Not to say that Bockwinkle doesn't belong in, but every week I keep hoping to hear the name Von Erich called, but have so far been disappointed. The only thing that would possibly make me mark out more (well not really) would be Randy Savage, but we all know thats not going to happen

I feel the same way with DiBiase. Every time someone else is called, I curse, and I cry.

Usually one manager goes in. With Taker's push and the fact that he's gone "old school Taker" do you think maybe this is the year Paul Bearer/Percy Pringle goes in?

If a manager is gonna get inducted this year then I'm guessing Mr Fuji or Elizabeth.

I hope they get: Verne to induct Bockwinkle. Heenan to induct Perfect (who has Larry the Axe acccept) Lance Russell should have inducted Lawler but, since Kevin Dunn is an idiot, have Jerry Jarrett induct Jerry Lawler.
