Don't cut down the time, this is the last time we will get to see a lot of the legends. They worked their lives for that moment and I feel cutting them down to 12 minutes to talk about a 30-40 year career is kinda rude. Then you get what Hall had and Nash had (oh we know you've had an amazing career and people want to hear from you bit we only have 10 minutes left). If WWE wants it shorter, then shorten the number of inductees. It's simple.

they have been a little excessive the last few years.
instead of the ceremony they should worry about making a building...say near Full Sail...an actual HOF building with the stuff they have in the warehouse would legitimize it more and make it just that much more special

No offense to anyone, but the main reason this year's HOF ceremony was so long was the Warrior Award for Conner. I think at least 3 people gave speeches for him? I guess it's cool to honor him (even if I tend to think it's just a PR stunt), but they could have done it in 5 minutes.
That said, 9 inductees this year was a record, I think. It used to max out at 7, and that seems more reasonable.

Only thing to do is induct less people. There is nothing you can do if you say they only have 10 minutes each and they go 20 or 30. What is Vince going to do about that, berate them during one of the biggest nights of their lives? Then again, I am talking about the company that fired Punk on his wedding day.

Here's the thing about the WWE Hall of Fame, and I have said this over and over again.... it's just another WWE show.
Eventually every single wrestler ever will be in the WWE Hall of Fame. Because it's gonna happen every year the night before Wrestlemania. But even with that being said, they need to cut it down to 5 inductees going in.
They really should do 2 singles, one tag team, a celebrity, and then the headliner of the night.

I wish Larry Zbyszko was STILL talking about Bruno's yard. Take me down to the Bruno city, where the pool is cool and the bushes are prickly. Where if the chest hair is in plain view, grab your tights & poison ivy ointment to make your dreams come true!

Rightfully, if we had 6 inductees, then we'd get nearly 30 minutes for each inductor/inductee pairing, then if they went over a little it would be fine.
As for getting down to guys like glacier and Horowitz in the next decade, I disagree. there are a great many people who deserve to be inducted, but still haven't been. If we include more international and pre-80s guys, that number is even higher. Not to mention more recent names becoming eligible as years move on. Numbers of headliners might go down, but people in general is fine.
On a side note, I'd be ok with Horowitz, but then I've always admired the part enhancement talent plays and while he's not the most deserving enhancement guy to me, I like him

Don't cut the speech times! I love hearing the stories. Less people is fine

They should only be inducting 2-3 inductees a year. Institute a voting system too so we limit the amount of people like Rikishi and Koko B Ware that get into the HOF.

Boo hoo. I enjoyed the longer speeches. Also, who the hell cares if they went over? It's on their own Network now. They don't need to worry about the re-runs of Total Divas and Legends House. that.

This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. This has to be because the talent and families complained about sitting for four hours. The network means they don't need to worry about time. If it's too long for you, go to bed early. But some of us loved every long second.

Just let these guys have their moment. Don't cut a damn thing. So it runs longer than you want? It's your network. Not like it ruins anything. And anyone not wanting to watch something that long, watch it the next day and fast forward to who you want to see.

Should be like the Hockey Hall of Fame, four inductee's a year. That way you won't run out of Superstars as quickly as they have. Maybe five if you want to add a celebrity.

The length doesn't bother me at all. But less inductions would be good. They have really swelled that number up lately.
They should probably stop having as many fans in attendance too, since they can't be respectful.

I honestly almost fell asleep during most of the boring long speeches during this years HOF. And I was there in-attendance at the SAP Center. And the awkward part was that I wasn't the only one... Saw a few guys around me dozing off.. While the others were trying to keep their eyes open..hahaha.. Seeing as it was my first time, I wondered then if it was like this every year at the HOF....
No disrespect to any of the legends, but yeah, most of the speeches were way too long.. They need to cut it down or have someone at the side of the stage signal them if its taking too long.

Let's just hope we don't have to hear Warriors widow ramble on and on.

I wouldn't mind them having less inductees, just don't cut the speeches short.

Or induct more people who can't cut promos.
