Flair's induction was emotional. But Flair should have more time, Rock and his family took up about 45 mins of the hour...

I missed the first airing so im watching now. Its crap that The Crock got 20 mins all to himself....damn spotlight hog....Its awesome to see Dean Malenko truly be the ICEMAN and not laugh at anything Crock says

It's bull **** they didn't give Solie, Eddie Graham, Mae Young and the Briscoe Brothers any air time. They've only got an hour, I understand it. Its not like it will be cut on the DVD. Every second will be on there.

Solie should have had 15 mins, Flair given 45 and the rest for the DVD.....NWA '80s> anything WWE put on the air

While I agree that Flair should of had more time, calling The Rock a spotlight hog is ridiculous. If you think WWE didn't want him on there because it would up ratings then you're an idiot.

All i can say is it is apparent the man who wrote thall shall have no other God has never seen a Ric Flair match, or else we'd be reading a totally different book......

I read on another site Rock went for about 40 minutes total & Flair went for an hour & a half. I was in the audience, and Rock was actually on stage closer to 70-80 minutes. Although some of that time, he was standing in the background while his father or mother spoke (and Rocky Johnson did speak for a long time himself). And yes, Ric Flair did speak for about 90 minutes, and would have spoken longer if Triple H wasn't repeatedly (like 3 times) walking up behind him and telling him they had to wrap it up because they were short on time. When Ric Flair finally ended his speech it was 11:34 p.m. ET by my watch. When you consider the USA special started at 11 p.m. with the pre-recorded Rock stuff, the video editors were probably scrambling trying to edit Flair's speech for TV on the fly when it was still going on & showed no signs of stopping. Still though, I think a 90-minute Flair speech going to the very end of his time is so appropriate. Even in giving speeches, he's going broadway!

Being there live can not compare to what they aired of TV or what will be on the DVD. Flair would have gone 2-2.5 hours easily. What makes me upset the most was Rock Johnson going atleast 20-30 minutes. Flair did't mention Sting or Piper though...upsetting. Im guaranteeing they won't air Flair's bust on Hogan though

I thought Cena's speech was nice, but what the hell was the purpose of it? Just to get Cena on TV for 5 minutes? There was no reason to give him time on a Hall Of Fame show when they're already pressed for time as it is. I would have rather heard 5 more minutes of The Rock speaking and let them save Cena's speech for the DVD.
