March 13, 20205 yr Author comment_5912394 If the inevitable happens, they'll probably wind up moving this whenever they reschedule WM. It would be nice if they did it at one of their facilities, just for the employees and production crew. Something more intimate like the ceremonies in the 90's and in 2004 would be a nice change, and a surefire way of preventing stuff like what happened to Bret last year repeat itself.
March 14, 20205 yr comment_5912415 Davey Boy Smith official. Wish it was as The Bulldogs, but he did have an impactful singles run. Also the 1997 Harts are now the WWF version of the Dangerous Alliance, where all the members get in for other things.

March 17, 20205 yr Author comment_5912614 I read somewhere on Twitter that Davey Boy's daughter said WWE told her the ceremony would take place around the time of SummerSlam
November 23, 20204 yr Author comment_5932593 So it's November and no new news. At least nothing I've seen yet. I wonder if they'll scrap the HOF like the did in the 90's.
November 23, 20204 yr comment_5932596 Even though this year's class never officially got inducted, Kevin Nash was introduced last night as "2 time hall of famer" so I wonder if they'll just consider that class inducted and move on. Presumably, Undertaker will be inducted as soon as possible.
November 24, 20204 yr comment_5932609 What a colossal waste if they held off or cancelled the 2020 HOF because of Covid and no fans. Sleazy, slimy, low class, Cheeto-fingered rasslin' fans are an absolute liability to the HOF. I don't mean just the Bret incident either. There have been so many other instances where the fans have hijacked what was supposed to be an "upscale" black tie affair and made it all about themselves. One that comes immediately to mind was when all the ham 'n eggers humiliated themselves by booing Maria Menounos, who was legitimately Bob Backlund's friend and therefore a perfectly appropriate choice to induct him - especially since, you know, he fucking chose her! WWE should've just rented a hotel, made it a private, low-key, classy affair - which is how it used to be done - and filmed it for the Network.

One of the few wrestling related things that'd be better without them. There have been so many moments over the years where I've watched and cringed at the chants and heckles from the audience, with that Maria Menounos one particularly sticking out.
November 26, 20204 yr Author comment_5932756 They should do what the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and HBO did this year, and just do it all from their homes.

As much as I agree with that sentiment regarding WWE Hall ceremony fan attendees, plenty of physical sports Halls, including the big ones, are doing it the same way, mushing class years together.
March 10, 20214 yr comment_5942070 Since this is going to be a combo class, why not use the old thread! Molly Holly (for no apparent reason I started typing “Mighty” from when they briefly paired her with Hurricane Helms) is the first announced member of the 2021 class!
March 10, 20214 yr comment_5942102 Pretty happy with this. She probably was the best all-around worker in that division when she was at her prime.

But yeah, she was head and shoulders above everyone else. She's also HOF worthy and was a biggest star than Christian during the Attitude Era.

But yeah, she should've been the first women from her era inducted, not years later behind Torrie Wilson, etc.

March 11, 20214 yr comment_5942116 I'm glad Molly is going in. It's deserved. My favorite thing is how like, zero people have anything bad to say about her. Even some of the biggest assholes in shoot interviews when giving names in rapid fire succession are all like "...I don't know why she was in wrestling. She was too sweet to be in this shit business."

March 12, 20214 yr comment_5942253 Man, it's easy to dismiss her as a bitter weirdo and all (and from the sounds if it, it's probably correct to do so), but I can't discount the possibility that someone super religious can turn out to also be super fake. Maybe that's just me showing the battle scars from growing up with half my family being extremely Catholic, but there was just something about Malia's story that just rang really familiar to me. Of course the more likely story is that Malia just rubs everyone the wrong way and that was just Molly's way of telling her to GTFO as politely as possible.
March 14, 20214 yr comment_5942543 BTW, since Molly Holly in the WWE HOF is basically a joke (really now, Molly Holly ? She sure wasn't a top 5 star during the Attitude Era like You Know Who) but they need to induct women because Stephy invented feminism, why hasn't Sable been inducted yet ? Because she certainly was a Top 2 star during the Attitude Era for a while. And that's legit, no one moved numbers and merchandise like her, she was only second to Austin.

Molly should have been in years ago, way before Barbie Doll models like Torrie WIlson, who was the least over character of the three in the Torrie-Al Wilson-Dawn Marie soap opera. If we're talking about top five Attitude Era stars who aren't in yet, that conversation begins and ends with Christian.

All giving you crap over the “Top 5 of The Attitude Era” comment aside, I wonder how much the signing is going to hurt Christian’s eventual enshrinement. I’d imagine they were leaning towards inducting him this year, or at least within the next 5 years, until he realized he still had something left in the tank. So who knows how far his clock got reset for.
