April 13, 201510 yr comment_5664723 so Dave confirmed the PWI report that Eva Marie was originally supposed to host the event. Has to be a typical Kevin Dunn "get the old guys outta here and replace em with a pretty girl" deal. Maybe they were filming an angle for total divas and had no intention of using her
April 13, 201510 yr comment_5664727 also the company was unhappy on how long the show went and will make all efforts to make sure it lasts no longer than 3 hours next year. And Vince apparently didn't like Madusa swearing and Shawn going off script
April 13, 201510 yr comment_5664739 There is the same story EVERY YEAR about how the show went too long and they are going to make it shorter next time.
November 11, 20159 yr comment_5709530 Bruce hart if only they had pushed him instead of Owen in 94...
November 15, 20159 yr comment_5710104 Early prediction for next year: Haku. I know he won't go in as Meng, but I much preferred that run to his Haku run in WWF.
November 15, 20159 yr comment_5710122 Agreed. Wonder what percentage of his video package would have WCW stuff if elected. I would bet 10% at most, even tho he had some memorable "spots" there.
November 30, 20159 yr comment_5712540 Tatanka has signed a Legends deal apparently, so wouldn't be surprised to see him go in. Expect moaning from people who think it's a legitimate HOF and not just media content.
November 30, 20159 yr comment_5712541 They put my man Bob Armstrong in so they're just fine in my book.
November 30, 20159 yr comment_5712553 I have no problem with Tatanka going in, but I anxiously await whatever revisionism they have in store for us as far as his impact.
November 30, 20159 yr comment_5712556 "He's alive, hasn't been in the news negatively for a few years, and more people know who he is than Danny Hodge."
November 30, 20159 yr comment_5712574 I have no problem with Tatanka going in, but I anxiously await whatever revisionism they have in store for us as far as his impact. Tatanka had a long undefeated streak and later one of the few genuinely shocking heel turns in the company (even though I saw it coming) + he beat Luger when wins and losses still mattered and Luger was still a big deal. I was never a Tatanka fan, but he did have an impact for 2-3 years.
November 30, 20159 yr comment_5712579 If they talk about Tatanka, we better get a Ludvig Borga name drop, damn it!

I was never a Tatanka fan, but he did have an impact for 2-3 years. Okay, I'm convinced. Seems like Waltman will be going in too if I had to guess. Hopefully the Fabulous Freebirds, and maybe someone like Stan Hansen.
December 1, 20159 yr comment_5712661 If this happens, I hope they induct him as "Native American Tatanka."
December 1, 20159 yr comment_5712752 If this happens, I hope they induct him as "Native American Tatanka." BUFF-a-LOOO
December 2, 20159 yr comment_5712989 How many guys are on Legends contracts but not in? Off the top of my head, Hillbilly, Vader, Sid, I'm sure there's plenty more.
December 2, 20159 yr comment_5712997 Why the heck isn't Jim in? Beyond Koko/Bushwacker/James Dudley/Johnny Rodz logic, does he have a case?
December 2, 20159 yr comment_5712998 Loyal Company guy, fondly remembered from the cartoon, spent another decade as a Coliseum Video lynchpin, and then another after that as a goodwill ambassador. One of the iconic figures of the rock'n'wrestling era. Big name value from fans of a certain age. All of those things are more important than wrestling skill, titles, etc, for the WWE hall of fame.
December 2, 20159 yr comment_5713000 Beyond Koko/Bushwacker/James Dudley/Johnny Rodz logic, does he have a case? The first part of your sentence answers the second. He doesn't need one. It's the WWE HOF. And, yeah, everything that Matt D said while I clicked on another window and forgot to hit Submit, ha.
December 2, 20159 yr Author comment_5713005 I'd take the Bushwhackers out of that. Their Hall of Fame speech was Hall of Fame-worthy in and of itself quite honestly.
