Really enjoyed Edge-Christian / Dudley Boyz, Jarrett & Road Dogg. Fell asleep before Henry, but have a feeling I’ll like his speech
Hillbilly Jim went on too long, but it’s nice to see he genuinely loves the fans and that company. Watched Ivory, wasn’t for me, but nothing necessarily wrong with it
Kid Rocks was short and sweet and felt genuine. Cool he dedicated to Joe C, who passed away so long ago

The scene with the Dudley's, Hardy's and E&C was really awesome! Christian really needs to be inducted into the Hall already, the dude was such a great worker in the ring and a character when he got a chance to shine on the mic.

So Jimmy Hart brings out a MOC JLN Hillbilly Jim, and Dana Warrior trots our the same tierd speech and a Hasbro Warrior. How does Mattel feel about this?

I enjoyed the Hall of Fame. I didn’t have much difficulty sitting through it either.

One of my favorite hall of fame ceremonies last night. The Dudleyz, Jeff Jarrett, Mark Henry, and Goldberg were the highlights and Kid Rock and Jarrius were funny.

Is this because the hof is on Friday now and they have media appearances? Because if they are just straight up leaving it’s pathetic and they should be ashamed, the people that remain are the ones who actually have respect Many of them are the families of the inductees who finished their speeches, the rest probably got bored I Know the back area is for the families which is cool, but if any got bored they should feel ashamed. If guys like Cena, Orton, Bryan, Styles, Shane, HHH can stay with the schedule they have everyone should stay. (I know a few women did the stage reveal last night that’s fine)

(I know a few women did the stage reveal last night that’s fine) lol you don’t know the schedules the other talent have though. Most may have Axxess, WrestleCon, WrestleMania dress or entrance rehearsals etc to prepare for or even rest from participating in daytime activities. I’m sure they have a very good reason for leaving and I doubt the inductees are offended because they probably know what the talent are going through, if it was mandatory to stay then everyone would’ve still been there till the end but it’s not and clearly people within the WWE are okay with this. Seriously though I don’t understand why fans are butt hurt over this, it’s not like they left during your speech 🤨

(I know a few women did the stage reveal last night that’s fine) For all we know, everyone who stayed didnt have an early morning axxess obligation. Ill agree if anyone left cause they just didnt wanna stay, yes its disrespectful. But lets not all generalize that those who left, left cause they didnt wanna stay.

My 2019 Class would look something like this for next year: (Headliner)- The Animal- Batista- It only makes sense given the fact that Batista is practically Hollywood he is A list now and not to mention with his Guardians of the Galaxy success as well as the success of Avengers: Infinity War...with Big Dave coming off of that it only makes sense for him to go in next year and as headliner. Not to mention his track record in WWE speaks for itself...2 time Royal Rumble Match winner, former WWE/World Heavyweight Champion, former Tag Team Champion I could go on and on. Not to mention a former member of one of the greatest factions in WWE's history in Evolution. Next year just has to be Big Dave's time. Now as for who I would have induct Batista I would either have it be Randy Orton, Triple H, Ric Flair or even believe it or not John Cena. (Women Representative)- Molly Holly- I would have had Molly go in this year before Ivory but since Molly Holly returned back in January for the first ever Women's Royal Rumble Match I figured it was only a matter of time before she goes in. Not to mention a former WWE Women's Champion and she was one of the biggest women's wrestlers during the Attitude Era/Ruthless Aggression Era. As for who inducts Molly Holly I would have it be Lita. (Legend)- Vader- It is Vader Time hell it should have been Vader's year this year but they passed on him for whatever reason. Not to mention Vader his track record speaks for itself and he was one of the biggest names during the Attitude Era in the WWE. Not to mention he was a champion in WCW/NWA and one of the best big men in the history of this business. As for who I would have inducting Vader I would have it be his old manager James E. "Jim" Cornette. (Warrior Award Recipient)- ?? (Tag Team)- Demolition- I mean they are due perhaps even overdue for an induction and before New Day broke their record they were the longest reigning WWE Tag Team Champions in history. One of the greatest tag teams of the 80s going into the 90s but also they put tag team wrestling on the map more or less. (Posthumous Induction)- Bam Bam Bigelow- I just think that it's time honestly. Bam Bam is one of the greatest big men this business has ever seen. Wrestled in all 3 companies WWE, WCW and ECW. Not to mention he was an ECW World Champion but also he headlined Mania 11 in the main event against LT. (Celebrity Induction)- Floyd "Money" Mayweather, Jr.- Perhaps one of boxing's greatest names not only right now but possibly of all time...his record in the boxing world speaks for itself undefeated in all of his fights and not to mention he was in a match at Mania 24. Hell he guest hosted a RAW episode as well so why not pay tribute to Floyd? As for who inducts Floyd Money Mayweather no one better to do it than Big Show.

A great class and great show. Any talent that left should be ashamed. Very disrespectful

Thoroughly enjoyed everyone's speeches. Finished work at 11 and then had a night out with my work friends until midnight, got home at half 12 and stayed up until 5:30am watching the ceremony.
It was really weird seeing so many empty seats towards the end. Respect to everyone who stayed until the show ended.

I know it was really long, but I enjoyed Hillbilly Jim's speech immensely. I always enjoy hearing wrestlers tell old stories, it's like the younger guys and gals sitting under the learning tree and hearing how it used to be while also getting lessons from these guys. It doesn't hurt that I loved Hillbilly.
