January 16, 20178 yr comment_5783746 So if the spoiler list is accurate, who inducts them? My guess: DDP: Jake and Hall Rude: Austin or Heyman (i'd like to see Jesse Ventura, but i dont think WWE trusts him with a live mic) Christian: Edge Natural Disasters: Jimmy Hart IRS: Dibiase Regal: Not sure who could induct him. It'd be nice to have whoever the current NXT champion is by that time to induct him as a tie-in to NXT. Heck, if push comes to shove, they could even get Bill Dundee (who managed him in WCW) to do it.
January 16, 20178 yr comment_5783747 Is Vader being held until next year? I guess it makes sense since his biggest match in the Foley feud, that being at Halloween Havoc 1993, was in NOLA. It's obvious that Foley would be the best speaker, even more than Sting.

Oh the idea of Jesse having in sort of legit involvement with WWE in 2017 would be amazing especially since he is completely bat-shit insane with the conspiracy stuff now.
January 16, 20178 yr Author comment_5783759 You're right. I'm actually spooked by this. For years, I thought Christian won. Am I thinking of another match or different DDP result? Mandela Effect!

I'd imagine HHH would induct Regal since HHH has been giving credit to Regal for his career for like a decade now.
January 16, 20178 yr comment_5783777 Dragon could also induct Regal. Their relationship is well documented.
January 16, 20178 yr comment_5783784 Or Malone.... or David Arquette..... I suspect it will be Jake when it is said and done.
January 16, 20178 yr comment_5783807 Too bad Dusty passed away, he would've been great inducting DDP. But Jake is a fine choice if they go that route.
January 16, 20178 yr comment_5783820 Angle is being inducted! just announced . A legit holy shit moment. Wonder if he will work mania
January 16, 20178 yr comment_5783823 Well they did Sting last year and Angle this year, if they continue to induct the TNA Hall of Famers, the Dudley Boyz should be next year!
January 16, 20178 yr comment_5783824 Ok, so that answers the "headliner" question for sure. I will be a little surprised if he works Mania, but not shocked. Personally, it isn't high on my wish list or anything, but I can see them booking him against Shane or Cena. I can also see them making him a special Ref for Goldberg v Brock (ugh) or something like that.
January 16, 20178 yr Author comment_5783826 Well they did Sting last year and Angle this year, if they continue to induct the TNA Hall of Famers, the Dudley Boyz should be next year! LOL! At least Angle and Dudleys are legit from the WWE perspective, with Sting being one of those "we're trying to be all inclusive to those whom we have video libraries of" picks (though to be fair, a number of the WCW HOFers weren't exactly JCP/Georgia/Florida stalwarts, so there is precedence in a promotion wanting to induct legends in regardless to time spent in promotions/territories the Hall supposedly is set up to honor). It will be one of those hell frozen over days if Jeff Jarrett or the Hebners ever get inducted!
January 16, 20178 yr Author comment_5783831 They Hadys are getting in next year..... watch. Also legit from a WWE perspective! = Okay, who presents: Some suggestions: John Cena Eric Angle (change things up, go with a family member who at least has made an appearance on WWF TV) Maybe Shane or Austin
January 17, 20178 yr comment_5783838 Shane is a good pick. If Lesnar was a better speaker and they didn't try to keep his aura about him, he'd be a good pick also. Or Edge, if Christian isn't going in.
January 17, 20178 yr Author comment_5783842 BTW, to finish up the TNA HOF inductees (Sting, Angle, Not Dudleys, Jarrett, Hebner and Gail Kim), I can see Kim as a future "class padding" women's division pick. There's been worse picks. Back on Kurt, I wonder if this was what made them push so hard for the TNA library last month. Sure they have more than enough for Angle's career, but those 7-8 years in TNA do have stuff worth spotlighting (Samoa Joe, Main Event Mafia stuff, etc).
January 17, 20178 yr Author comment_5783843 Beth Phoenix is being inducted according to PWI Making her and Edge the first HOF couple, for whatever that's worth!
January 17, 20178 yr comment_5783905 They Hadys are getting in next year..... watch. Also legit from a WWE perspective! = Okay, who presents: Some suggestions: John Cena Eric Angle (change things up, go with a family member who at least has made an appearance on WWF TV) Maybe Shane or Austin Maybe Bruno?
January 17, 20178 yr comment_5783999 I could maybe see Brisco or Patterson inducting Kurt. It wouldn't be my pick but I could see HBK do it too Off-topic......Radiohead was a huge band in the late 90's into the mid 2000's. Maybe it's my age (35) but to me at their peak they were much bigger than Motorhead. I saw them live in 2001-2002 where they legit filled a 70 thousand plus venue. Don't think Motorhead ever did that, and I'm a fan of both bands so this isn't a potshot
January 17, 20178 yr comment_5784000 Heck, maybe Austin could induct Kurt. They had a great run together in 01 and you know WWE wants to get Austin involved at WM every year, so that would make sense
January 17, 20178 yr comment_5784009 Heck, maybe Austin could induct Kurt. They had a great run together in 01 and you know WWE wants to get Austin involved at WM every year, so that would make sense Yep, Kurt says it's a no brainer and wants Austin to induct him
