"Prophet of Ash, have you lost your mind?? Andre is already in the Hall of Fame!"
Yes. He was the first in. In 1994. And when Andre was inducted, he was inducted silently with no actual induction ceremony, and only an article in WWF magazine to induct him. At the 2014 Hall of Fame ceremony, 20 years after his induction, it'd be nice to see him re-inducted with proper fanfare.

not a bad idea, maybe have a celebration of 20 years of WWE hall of fame of some sorts. would be nice to have a little spotlight shined on him IMO.

The only way Andre should be reinducted is if they induct the Colossal Connection

I was seriously about to go ape crap on someone when I saw the thread title from the main page....reading it though, I honestly agree. Andre deserves the recognition, if not a HOF re-induction maybe something done specifically for him like a Lifetime Achievement Award (which is essentially the same thing) but can be done not only to celebrate/honor Andre but also further decorate his accolades as a wrestler.

I'd be for it if it meant they'd finally release a Andre dvd set.

I would have said yes if he was alive to accept the award. Seems pointless to induct him again if he's not even there to speak.

Andre was inducted in 1993.

He should at least get some sort of recognition. He is still to this day a household name and one of the most popular wrestlers of all time.

I always got a kick out of the long going rumor of Big Show being Andre's son. I still hear people say it these days, and when I tell them that isn't true, they look at me like I'm whack. That one's almost as good as the "Kane isn't the same guy that used to play him" rumor.

Yea, not a bad idea - a celebration of 20 years of HOF Inductions - maybe they could bring back a bunch of them and really make a big deal out of it!

I would love to see a dvd documentary on Andre. I'd like to see an official induction maybe to coincide with wrestlemania 30 but I'm not sure who would do it. Most likely Vince would but it would be nice to make it an ensemble with Demolition, Haku, Bobby Heenan if possible, Hulk Hogan, Ted Dibiase or anyone who had some long term association with him.
The dvd from a few years ago (I think 2005) which was a re-release of a coliseum video was nice but nothing informative, just matches and I think it was only his face matches. He is certainly one of the biggest stars to this day and even well known outside of wrestling with Princess Bride. The Princess Bride dvd has a little about him which could be added to a WWE dvd.

Fair enough he wasn't given proper recognition in 1993, but he was the very first to go in. Surely that's recognition enough. He's obviously not done anything since then having passed away before he was inducted the first time, so it makes a re-induction even more pointless imo. The Hall of Fame ceremony just passed marked the 20th anniversary anyway, surely?
Sorry, I just don't get it.
