March 20, 20178 yr comment_5792604 So is this the full class now? There is still a "celebrity wing" inductee missing.
March 21, 20178 yr comment_5792658 Aside from Beth's inclusion, this is a pretty solid and well deserving class.
March 21, 20178 yr comment_5792765 Eric Bischoff is now announced to induct DDP. This makes perfect sense for wrestling and non wrestling reasons So we now have Eric Bischoff and Jim Cornette as presenters on the same show with Paul Heyman probably in the crowd. If someone can figure out how to use Vince Russo then hell will literally be one big ice cube
March 21, 20178 yr comment_5792770 You don't say. This is pretty surreal. I'd rather have Nash or Austin introduce DDP though.
March 21, 20178 yr Author comment_5792788 So is this the full class now? There is still a "celebrity wing" inductee missing. Since bringing back the HOF as a concept, they didn't have one in 2005, and from 2007-2009. I'd like to know if they are going to continue with the Legacy Inductees like they did last year.
March 22, 20178 yr comment_5792848 I think I read that they will have another batch of Legacy Inductees this year.
March 24, 20178 yr comment_5793171 Legacy Class: Rikidozan Judy Grable Toots Mondt Farmer Burns Luther Lindsay Dr. Jerry Graham June Byers Haystacks Calhoun
March 24, 20178 yr comment_5793180 I seriously thought Haystacks Calhoun was already in. Pretty good group there.
March 25, 20178 yr comment_5793229 Can't believe there were two workers named Haystacks. What are the odds ?
March 25, 20178 yr comment_5793232 The same as there being two Steve(n) Regals? Obviously one was the first (in this case Haystacks Calhoun) and the other (or rather promoters) copied the name. According to Wikipeda Giant Haystacks was at one point even called Haystacks Calhoun.
March 25, 20178 yr comment_5793233 I'm struck by the 2010 class, which had Bob Uecker and Antonio Inoki chatting it up next to Gorgeous George's widow while having Bruce Hart in jeans and sunglasses at the end of the stage.
March 25, 20178 yr comment_5793235 It's usually not an accident. How many permutations of Gorgeous George did we see in regional wrestling? Ditto any wrestler named Man Mountain. A wrestler would become popular and there's a dozen imitators. Especially in the U.K. where you literally had Greg Valentine and Black Jack Mulligan.
April 1, 20178 yr comment_5794138 Robert Gibson might have already said more words in his speech than he did in his whole JCP run.
April 1, 20178 yr comment_5794139 The camera cut to someone clearly bored in the audience for a few seconds during Cornette's speech
April 1, 20178 yr comment_5794140 The camera cut to someone clearly bored in the audience for a few seconds during Cornette's speech Was it Kevin Owens? Is that the joke?
April 1, 20178 yr comment_5794141 Grandpa Ricky Morton sounds like the most fun family vacation ever.
April 1, 20178 yr comment_5794142 The camera cut to someone clearly bored in the audience for a few seconds during Cornette's speech Was it Kevin Owens? Is that the joke? It went by in a flash, but I doubt it
April 1, 20178 yr comment_5794143 The camera cut to someone clearly bored in the audience for a few seconds during Cornette's speech It was Reigns
April 1, 20178 yr comment_5794144 The camera cut to someone clearly bored in the audience for a few seconds during Cornette's speech It was Reigns No that was during the R&R's speech.
