Will WWE ever induct ULTIMATE WARRIOR into the HOF

[The OP]

I think both Warrior and Savage will be inducted eventually. It might not be until either they or Vince are dead, but it will happen.

Well after Bret "The Hitman" Hart was inducted, anything is possible now.

[Rockhound]

Actually, a better question is will we ever see Bruno Sammartino inducted?

[The Peoples Elbow]

How about NOOOOOOO!!!!

Sammartino will likely go in after he's dead, since rumor has it the only thing keeping him out is that he keeps declining.

[plushtar]

For the last time, Savage is not buried. WWE Magazine interviewed him a few years ago. Even if he was in the Hall of Fame, the IWC would still complain about him being buried.

Warrior will not be inducted for the same reason that Sammartino is not currently inducted. Aside from Ric Flair, Eric Bischoff, and Paul E. Dangerously there is no one more deserving of a Hall of Fame spot.

[Raja Lion]

Is there anyone else who thinks Warrior SHOULDNT be inducted?

[Hulk With A Mustache]

After The Self-Destruction Of The Ultimate Warrior DVD and the fact that Warrior has said he would refuse an induction, I doubt it.

I'd rather see Savage vs Warrior again, but instead of a Retirement Match, make it a "Winner Gets into the WWE HOF" Match.

Something tells me that match would end on a double count-out. Perhaps an Iron Man no DQ match where they would alternate between yelling unintelligible stuff into the microphone and calling various people punks for an hour, ending in a draw. Then when Gorilla Monsoon says there must be a winner, they just keep doing it until the arena clears out.

They guy's name is just Warrior, not Warrior Warrior. He just has to put that on forms that require a first and last name.

If he didn't want people to mockingly refer to him as "Warrior Warrior", he should have thought about before the change to a one-word name. ;D

WARRIORIZED: "When you bite the hand, rip off the fingers PAST THE KNUCKLE...!"


Not going to happen.

A better question to ask would be, "Will the Ultimate Warrior ever get inducted into the Hall Of Those On Fair Terms With The WWE?", because that's basically all it is.

[Branimal]

Its literally a crime that Savage isn't in there.

I don't see what Randy Savage is getting out of his past glory by holding onto this grudge against Hulk Hogan and WWE.

I have no idea what this is all about but Savage is one of the greatest of all time..back in his prime anyway.

Its a shame that his career basically goes unrecognized by WWE..the whole thing seems rather childish..especially WWE's Macho Libre.

[Schemer]

Honestly, I don't care... If he ever did go in, I would simply fast forward his part on my DVR or DVD, whichever I happened to be watching. I would rather listen to Michael McDonald sing for nine hours than have to listen to the Ultimate Idiot.

I'd rather see people like Savage and DiBiase go in this year. Y'know, people who actually contributed to wrestling with innovative offense or gimmicks. Savage's high flying was amazing for the time, and DiBiase, in my opinion, was the gold standard for heel characters in the late 80s and early 90s.

You're saying the gimmick that, to this day, is talked about (like we are now), and is imitated by the current Smackdown! World Champion, and before him, current generation stars like Londrick, was not innovative?

Perhaps we should induct Battle Kat in the HOF. Battle Kat had louder pops than CM Punk. Nobody imitates Battle Kat.

[Schemer]

As I said he was the gold standard heel... I only meant during his active career though... The gimmick itself is one of the best ever created... In fact, McMahon himself said if he were a wrestler, that would be the gimmick he would give himself. I used 80s and 90s in reference to DiBiase's wrestling career, not the longevity of the gimmick. Sorry for not clarifying that in my last post.

DiBiase was awesome. He sold better than half the roster at the time. I still get a kick out of watching him kick that kids basketball away.

I understand that Dibiase was a fantastic heel, but lets face it - the kids wanted to buy Hogan and Warrior merchandise. They wanted to see Dibiase get the crap kicked out of him.

A crazy loon that charges to the ring, huffing and puffing, wasn't heard of before, I don't think.
