Has anyone else spotted this year - how WWE have failed to inform us, who's inducting who?
when it comes to the big boss man, I would personally love to see Akeem induct him, have him wearing a suit and tie, but also wearing the yellow hat (just for twin tower, nostalgia purposes), and give a speech on what it was like tagging with him.
as for the freebirds, I never really watched WCW back then, so I cannot really comment on who's the ideal candidate, to do the speech for them.
the godfather's induction? tricky one..... after a long hard think, all I can come up with is D-Lo Brown. At least another former nation member could give a bit of insight on things.
Sting? gotta be Ric Flair. However if Ultimate Warrior was still alive, I would have said him, that way Jim Hellwig and Steve Borden could have had a 1 night reunion about old times of their tag team.
have I forgot anyone? that's all WWE have announced so far isn't it?

I'm pretty sure WWE confirmed that the APA will be inducting the godfather. Flair will induct Sting and Kevin Von Erich will induct the free birds. I know the one man gang is in town that weekend so it would be cool to see him induct bossman. Not sure about Jackie. Also I'm surprised there are no celeberties being inducted this year.

Yes your correct about the APA inducting the godfather, I remember the commentators saying that on raw a couple of weeks ago now, sorry about that. I remember reading somewhere that at wrestlemania 17 in 2001, when they had that gimmick battle royle, WWE wanted George Gray to wear his Akeem attire, but due to the fact he dropped so much weight, the Akeem costume looked stupid on him, and they wanted him to wear his One Man Gang attire instead, now if WWE do decide to pick George to do the induction - I'm guessing they would probably prefer him to be under his One Man Gang gimmick (which would really suck for Akeem fans). |

It would be cool do him to do the induction. He's at wrestlecon that weekend so he will be in town. I guess Slick is another possibility. |

Doesn't bother me. The whole point of the night is to put the spotlight on the individual/s not their inductors.

Only one man should induct the Boss Man - his old rival, Nailz.  |

They don't always say. I remember at 30, there were rumors that the kliq was inducting razor. Most everyone knew it would be Nash, but even when I saw him the day of, he still wouldn't spill the beans.

Eh, we have general ideas. The inductor isn't quite as important as the inductee minus the headliner, which we already know is Sting by Ric.

Why? Michael is alive and can accept the induction. The kids are on stage because they are accepting the induction for their dads who have passed away. There is no reason for his kid to be on the stage with him. |

This seems like an incredibly unimportant thing for WWE to tell fans beforehand. I wouldn't say they've "failed to inform us." They might not know yet.

His father is alive... The other boys are speaking because their fathers aren't They aren't up there just because they're the FB's kids |

I want Sable to induct Jaqueline.
Flair to induct Sting will be awesome. I just hope he is able to talk less about himself and more about Sting,
Akeem works for Bossman, but part of me wants Big Show to do it,

Trish gave congrats to Jackie on her website, so maybe she will do it? Either that or it will be a current diva.
For Bossman, maybe Jacques Rougeau? Although, I think he and Vince aren't on best of terms. OMG would be good, too.
