I've been out of touch from wrestling for a bit. There are names I would never consider, like Christian, Bam Bam Bigelow, Batista or Torrie Wilson, is this normal? I mean it just seems overkill and the pool will be diluted if you just put everyone under the sun in. Might as well put in Naked Man. Is it a publicity event rather than a true celebration of work? For the bigger names not to get in if they're done wrestling; Rock, Undertaker, Vader, Hart Foundation just seems strange to me.

If the WWE Hall of Fame was as strict & picky as something like the baseball HOF...there would be like 15 people in it.

We both know there'd be more than 15 people in it, unless it is really the hall of people in good standing with Vince.

Looks like the 3 main men of the Hart Foundation this year. No Owen in the report though.

Surely i wasn't the only one who noticed the guy holding the 'Victoria For Hall of Fame' sign right behind the entrance at the Royal Rumble.
If i had to guess, it'd be similar to others posted, plus some i'd like to see.
- Hart Foundation (Almost confirmed i think) Inducted by: Hart Dynasty - Natalya, Kidd (maybe) & DH Smith (maybe, NJPW could grant permission for him to appear)
- Kane (Headliner) Inducted by: The Undertaker, Jim Ross or Big Show. I'd lose it if JR inducted him and said "This sum B*tch burned me alive and now he's in the Hall of Fame"
- Christian Inducted by: Edge of course
- William Regal Inducted by: Bryan, Finlay or Tajiri (I could actually see that happening)
- JBL Inducted by: Ron Simmons or Michael Cole
- Michelle McCool Inducted by: Layla
- Lillian Garcia Inducted by: No idea who
- X-Pac Inducted by: Scott Hall, NWO (Hall/Nash) or any member/s of DX
- Motorhead (Celebrity Inductee) Inducted by: Triple H

I think people take it a bit too serious because wrestling is pre determined I get not seeing it like any other hall of fame. I feel like it’s just a celebration of people for their contributions to the business. People act like they are joking when they talk about the Brooklyn Brawler going in or Koko being the hall but I understand why they are in. The Brawler was the guy that worked up and down with everyone who walked in the door. He worked with Warrior night after night when he came in, Tatanka, Brutus when he turned face, The Rock etc. Koko in a very similar role but for the heels coming in, Earthquake, Boss Man, Yokozuna they came in and worked with Koko every single night up and down the road. These guys were the litmus test and deserve the accolades.

The only celebrity that really deserves it : cindy lauper, without her no wrestlemania. You have to be there in those years to really understand this

It wasn't a gimmick. Also he was on the first ever wwe show at Barclays Center.

I also agree with everyone saying Vader. the hof is just a wwe popularity club to a degree, but I like to see wrestlers recognized. you can’t tell me Bruno wasn’t happy with his treatment, and that says a lot.

So a leak is out, and I'm absolutely thrilled. All very much deserved and a savvy corporate move to avoid individual controversy that could come from your kid using Google.

Finally Chyna is in. Shame on WWE for not doing it while she was alive.

Finally Chyna is in. Shame on WWE for not doing it while she was alive. Well for me personally I didn’t see her dying at such a young age. And I get why they didn’t want to, with her doing porn. I’m sure had she not passed fences would have been mended I think she was moving away from porn at the time of her death.

Really surprised they chose to do DX. I would have figured Triple H would have stayed away for as long as he could, like Vince McMahon.

I think he will continue to stay away as a solo career unless Vince pushes for it. This is a way to get him in without it being about him. Triple H is different than Vince though imo. Triple H the performer was a first ballot HOF guy before he even started becoming the next Vince. So at least he's in there even if it takes years, or never happens, before he goes in solo. This is all to backdoor Chyna into the HOF imo. The Outlaws, X-Pac and H could have all easily gone in as individual acts, but this gets everyone in and serves multiple purposes. The issues with Chyna and X-Pac, Triple H being in the Vince chair, and Billy in AEW. Takes the focus off of them as individuals and puts them in as the group, which is quite a bit better from a PR perspective. And since it's official:
