In his blog, Jim Ross says he doesn't want too many dead wrestlers inducted into the HOF b/c he feels it brings the evening down.
That being said, which 3 wrestlers no longer with us do you think deserve induction?
My picks:
1) Rick Rude - Best bumper of alltime; memorable promos 2) Art Barr - Influential icon to many wrestlers 3) Eddie Gilbert - Great mind for the business

I agree that it should be limited to one or maybe 2 a year depending on how big the class is unless the guy was really old, like Blasse, who did not have an unexpected death.

I see what he means, but that shouldn't stop them from inducting people who deserve to be there. As I recall, the first ever inductee was Andre the Giant, who had died two years earlier.
That said:
-Definitely Curt Hennig. Former AWA World Champion (when that really meant something), one of the all-time greatest Intercontinental Champions, a first-rate manager (w/Flair), a guy who did well wherever he went (AWA, WWF, WCW), and, in my eye, a guy who helped bring "smaller wrestlers" back into a position of prominence, to be followed by guys like Bret and Shawn.
-Art Barr. As said before, very, very influential, one of the recognized greats in many corners of the wrestling world.
-Hawk, as part of the Road Warriors as a team. Being one of the most popular tag teams of all time should earn you an automatic entry.
I'm waiting for the inevitable "The first Ultimate Warrior" joke. ;D

I can't blame him and I actually agree. Two (or three in certain cases) per year, more than that and it seems like a memorial service. Have the majority living and have two "in memoriam" inductions. That said, I want to see these in the HOF: - Bruiser Brody
- The Von Erichs (This would be as a whole)
- Stu Hart

They inducted 2 dead people in 2004: Junkyard Dog and Big John Studd. People seemed fine, and their kids who were there and accepted for them were obviously ok and didn't get overly emotional.

British Bulldog, Mr. Perfect, Miss Elizabeth. Those 3 shouldn't be hard to induct this year.

They MUST add Miss Elizabeth to the Hall Of Fame.
Mr. Perfect, Ravishing Rick Rude and Davey Boy Smith should also be added as posthumous inductees.
