Where is Mama Rhodes with a steel chair run in? Peddling shirts somewhere else, apparently. |

I thought Bull had a heartfelt speech you can tell she was very honored to be there. Other than that and no disrespect to the inductees, it was the worst HOF since they started airing these live 20 years ago. |

Why the hell did the rock get a belt during the Ali induction. Seems out of place and utterly unnecessary to cut it short about Ali and honor the rock instead.

Why was the crowd so quiet during Nakano's entrance? Seemed like they were distracted; was something else going on in the arena?

Why was the crowd so quiet during Nakano's entrance? Seemed like they were distracted; was something else going on in the arena? Since he was expected to be the main event induction and surprisingly opened the show, I think a lot of people left right after Heyman's speech. They had just sat through an entire episode of SmackDown! and probably took it as a chance to hit the exits early since most have activities all throughout the weekend. Doing the Hall of Fame ceremony right after a live event like that is pretty rough. Six hours sitting for anything is a big ask even for your most dedicated fans so they probably thought getting Heyman on ASAP was the best option. You could immediately tell right afterwards how quiet the crowd was and even the wrestlers at ringside looked completely wiped. The lack of star power following Heyman really hurt the energy of the show. When an event runs close to 1AM though I guess it doesn't matter who headlines as the audience is just kind of over it at that point. Congrats to the inductees as they all are deserving, but if you are a more casual fan who went to bed after Heyman you didn't miss much. Very happy for my girl, Bull, though as she was actually one of the first female wrestlers I ever saw growing up in the New Gen era. |

Smackdown, Hall Of Fame, NXT PPV, two nights of Wrestlemania followed by Raw the next night. I remember when Mark Henry was inducted and it looked like he was on an episode of Dynamite because the crowd was non existent. |

Literally coming in here just to say. If we end up with a fair number of botches towards the end of the show tonight (YES TONIGHT), I won't be surprised. Putting the HOF after Smackdown last year was fine, it was in California, West Coast. It's on the East Coast this year. It's almost 1 am. I've seen so many people online comment that everyone looks exhausted. I've seen people say that Solo has literally been napping in his chair. Someone online said that Wells Fargo is trying to get fans to change seats because everyone left after Heyman. You can't do this to people. Wrestlemania is an all day affair every day of the 'week'. These wrestlers (and fans) are expected to be up early tomorrow, put in a full day at the gym, in planning, and at World, put on the show of their lives, have a press conference until 1am, then wake up the following day and do it again. They needed tonight to sleep. This is horrible. If WWE doesn't look at this cluster and change the date next year to be Thursday, I'll be shocked. And APPALLED. Came here to say basically the same thing. I was struggling to stay awake watching. Several reports are out of a lot of fans leaving after Heyman’s speech. Hall of Fame definitely would benefit being on Thursday night going forward. |
