First thing that went through my head DC. I love Kurt Angle but seriously are they going to play his music I know he will get cheers afterwards but won't it be weird having the crowd chanting you suck. Although would like to hear it one more time.

When they announced it on RAW and played the music afterwards, the crowd was already chanting "you suck" along with it.

 

I didn't look on WWE.com before I watched RAW so I was in for a surprise when they announced Angle for the Hall of Fame. Of all the people I thought would be announced as inductees, I never even considered Angle. Not because he doesn't deserve it, but because he hasn't been affiliated with WWE for so long. It was definitely an announcement I don't think most people saw coming.

Honestly since he's a free agent now I saw it coming a mile away. However I thought he would have a match this year at WM then go into HOF 2018

I've been watching a lot of 1999 era RAW and SmackDown on the WWE Network as of late and it made me realize there's a lot of people from the Attitude Era who deserve a spot in the Hall of Fame. Obviously, Chyna is one of these individuals but Hardcore Holly, Crash Holly, Viscera/Big Daddy V, New Age Outlaws, X-Pac, and Test could all be legit inductees in my opinion. I understand that Billy Gunn isn't exactly on good terms with WWE (plus Billy is currently working for NJPW) but maybe in the future they can work it out. No matter how they do it, I firmly believe that Road Dogg & Billy Gunn should go into the HOF as a team. I thought about including the Acolytes/APA but I think that JBL deserves to be inducted on his own.

Well Ron Simmons was put in on his own so they may do it with JBL although Simmons had to go in really for being the first African-American World Champion of a major, televised promotion.

 

Thing is, if they put JBL in and at a later date put in the APA that would mean there is then four two time Hall of Famers, those being Ric Flair, Arn Anderson and then both Acolytes. Where the APA that good to be on the same level as those two mean and the Horseman? Does the APA need to be in there?

Well if the APA go in there...the NWO surely deserve it.

So long as its only the core original three members of the nWo, or at a push when they went up to five members with Syxx-Pac and Giant because after that it went a bit mental.

 

If you where to induct all of the nWo and Wolfpac you would have to include Vincent, Stevie Ray, Horace Hogan, Bryan Adams, the Harris Brothers and a host of other people who either don't deserve it or are/where on bad terms with the company and that's before you get to Savage and Luger.

Is this about to be a tag team induction, playa? :lol:

I could see Mark Henry inducting Teddy.
JBL and Simmons are good friends with Long, wouldn't be surprised if they're chosen.
Could be yeah. Or Bring back Rodney Mack haha.:2thumbsup:
They should make him go one on one with...THE UNDERTAKAH!!!

I'd love to play a Teddy Long mod of a WWE game where everything is a tag team match or a one-on-one match with The Undertaker.

A bit off topic now but Taker and Teddy just after they debuted in WCW.

I always enjoyed watching Teddy on TV. My highlight is definitely his wedding to Krystal (apart from the heart attack bit at the end) I imagine Ron and JBL will induct him.
