Vader needs to be in it not just because he has a terminal condition (which it would be good for him to enjoy it before he dies) but the man is a legend

 

I couldn't agree more. If there was ever a top candidate for the Hall of Fame who should be allowed to enjoy his induction, it's Vader. And, again, I'm not just saying this because of his terminal illness, he deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame as much as anyone else. I honestly thought for a while that he was already in the Hall of Fame but I think I just got confused because he's been on that stage before to induct Stan Hansen.

 

On the list of legends who could easily be inducted into the Hall of Fame, Tatanka is worth a mention. He may have not won any championships in WWE (though I remember him challenging for the Intercontinental Title on a few different occasions). I actually had to double check that he's never won a title in WWE because I could have sworn he won the IC Title as least once, but he didn't. Tatanka was always a solid worker in the ring and, from a business standpoint, the number of legitimate Native Americans in the Hall of Fame is pretty slim (I say "business standpoint" because you know WWE would love to brag about this fact).

 

WWE has a bit of a trend of inducting at least one stable or tag team into the Hall of Fame every year and I think there is no better team to induct in 2017 than The Dudley Boyz. Both Bubba Ray & D-Von are still on good terms with the company (especially considering D-Von is still working for the company) and their resumes really speak for themselves. Sure, their most recent run in WWE was lackluster, but that shouldn't take away from the great careers both of them have had.

I would like to induct Vince McMahon into the HOF just because it would be nice to show appreciation for what he has done while he is still alive.

Oh yeah. That would be a good one too. Why isn't that talked about more?

I think because Vince sights off on all inductees, even if HHH has bought up his name not even Vince is that big headed. I think he hates taking the limelight away from the wrestlers when he's not playing his character. Like when Hogan got him an ovation when he was inducted and said that Vince would hate what he was about to do.
Tatanka was ass!
Owen Hart.
Demolition.
Surely Demolition with the New Day inducting them and Vader with Sting or Mick Foley inducting him should be done this year. Although I wonder if they will mention Bryan 'Crush' Adams or if the fact that both classic members of the team have both been part of the class action lawsuit launched against the WWE over head injuries and concussions.

Are one or more of demolition not currently suing? I think so and if yes that would rule them out. Vader is a must.
I'm hoping there's some good names as I am going WM33!!! My first Mania, really looking forward to it. I think Vader or Chyna will be in the HOF.

Hopefully they will put either Chyna or Owen Hart in but i have a feeling that neither will be!

 

The celebrity i would like to see them induct into the hall of fame is Lemmy from motorhead!

As a fan of him and and WWE i feel like he would be appropriate!!

I suspect Chyna will. Owen is doubtful until his relations agree.
Word is DDP is going in.

The first inductee is...

Is that true?

Yes, ESPN announced it and WWE have confirmed it.

 

Aw, Kam; I was setting someone up to finish the catchphrase. :(

 

You sorta redeemed it with the video though.

I replied without the video first, then realised as soon as I hit reply :lol:
