Let's go Boker!
Haha, typo, man.
Really proud of Booker, I love it. He deserves it.
Thanks, Book.

The Booker man definitely earned his place in the hall of fame. I mean rising from a tag team, to a big singles star. Held almost a dozen major titles, as well as being a Triple Crown and Grand Slam champion in both WCW and WWE.

While I am happy for Booker T, I just can't see the merit. Sure, he is/was a decorated star in both WCW and WWF/E but I would rather see legends we don't see every week on television inducted. I was hoping that Jake Roberts would be inducted this year considering the amazing life transformation he has made. It would be the perfect time for him because he is in the right frame of mind.
Three out of the five inductees have been on WWE television in the last year, I feel like the Hall of Fame lost what it used to be about. I wish there was a specific criteria that needs to be met like baseball but unfortunately that will never happen.

I didn't expect it this soon. I always liked Booker and he does deserve it, so good for him.

I'm happy that He gets to be in the HOF but hold on wasn't Booker T a U.S champion as well? :x.. i think that part of his career is erased due to another individual at that same time that he was feuding with.

Nice surprise, this HOF is stacked. Pretty weird to think that he's making it in before guys like Rock & Triple H.

BOOK! BOOK! BOOK! Nice surprise, this HOF is stacked. Pretty weird to think that he's making it in before guys like Rock & Triple H. Well, he is pretty much retired at this point unlike Rock and Hunter, and has been wrestling longer than them.

He's still on tv so I think they should have waiting a while before putting him in. They could have waited a couple of years after Booker leaves for good. Then it would be a surprise. It would give the fans someone too look forward to seeing. I can see Booker anytime I want on Smackdown!
Was Hillbilly Jim, Demolition, Rick Rudes family, Jake Roberts, Kevin Nash, The Hart Foundation, etc, busy that day?
We got three really awesome inductions with Bruno, Backlund, and Stratus, then a so-so one with Foley but now we are getting lame with Trump and Booker.

Been watching him since his early GWF days. So it's been exciting watching his progress. Little surprised he's going in this year, but it's deserved nonetheless. Good for him.

Booker deserves it, but not for a couple of years, would rather have someone like Theodore Long.

I absolutely cracked up at the fact that at the 1:52 mark they used a clip from the famous promo "HULK HOGAN! WE COMIN FO' YOU N*GGA!"

I'm so happy for Booker T.
I remember watching GWF in the old Sportatorium back in '91/'92 when he was teaming with his brother as the Ebony Experience. I knew he was a star in the making.
It's awesome to see a guy's career from the very start to the pinnacle of this profession.

Definitely surprised, but well deserved imo. I definitely see the argument with putting other guys in first though. Sort of like the NFL HOF. Tons of guys that should be in there but you should wait your turn kind of thing.
Macho Man Bam Bam Boss Man New Age Outlaws British Bulldog DDP The Freebirds HTM Jake the Snake Kevin Nash Lex Rick Rude Raven Scott Hall Scott Steiner/Steiner Bros Ultimate Warrior
There is just a whole list of guys who think need to go in that are mostly removed, moreso than Booker anyway. Again, not complaining and I think it's well deserved but that's why he's a surprise imo.
