WWE Hall Of Fame Class Of 2012

[Dale]

It sucks, each person should get a significant amount of time to speak and should be shown in full on a DVD's extra disc with WrestleMania or something.

 

[Crippler]

10 minutes to talk is fucking horrible, i don't mind the WWE cutting it down to put it on TV like they do. But it's not right.

 

[AZUCAR!]

Yeah, 10 minutes sucks, especially since it's the HOF too. TV i'd understand but not when they can just show the un-edited version on the DVD when it gets released with Wrestlemania.

 

[The New F'n Show]

With everyone else hear, always enjoy the speeches and making guys rush through them will affect the quality.

 

[John McHenry]

I doubt much will happen if they actually go over. But it would be better that they didn't even suggest it.

 

[John McHenry]

WWE's website has a new "Bring It Back" feature looking at "crazy Superstar props." They mention Randy Savage's scepter that he used after winning King of the Ring and refer to Savage as a "WWE Hall of Famer." A screenshot is below in case WWE fixes the error on their site:

Interesting this just some error by a writer or possibly an article that got published to early?

 

[Dale]

Obviously a mistake as there's no way he'll go into the HOF as a sideshow act, that is unless Vince really wants to bury him even more.

 

[Heisenberg]

Yeah, it's just a mistake and I'm sure he won't be inducted this year. Lanny said that WWE haven't spoken to him yet and if they were to induct him this year, a lot of people would criticize them for capitalizing on his death.

 

[John McHenry]

While I don't put much wait into what Lanny says Im sure it was some sort of error. Though I could see WWE trying to re-write history and pretend he was inducted when he died or some shit.

 

[Troy]

The writer probably just assumed that he was already in the HOF, honest mistake. He will probably eventually go in but it would have been bad to do it this year since it makes it look like WWE are trying to make money out of his death.

 

[John McHenry]

I'd never read this but found it today wondering if their was a way for WWE to do it this year and donate it some proceeds to charity.

On May 30, 2011, WWE chairman Vince McMahon, with whom Savage had irreconcilable differences upon his departure from the company in 1994, paid tribute to Savage in a Time magazine article. There, he described Savage as "extremely charismatic", and "one of wrestling's all-time greats"

Flair's WWE HOF Status
The Wrestling Observer is reporting that TNA has yet to grant Ric Flair permission to attend the 2012 WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony, during which he is supposed to be inducted along with the Four Horsemen.

Flair has stated publicly several times that he will be at the event.

Flair wouldn't even need TNA's permission to attend for a guy on such a high caliber as himself in the wrestling world.

 

[Troy]

Yeah Flair won't care if TNA gives him permission or not. He will be at the ceremony and TNA will have to figure out whether they suspend him, fire him or just let it happen.

 

[AZUCAR!]

I'm sure he would need to get permission. I mean, he can't just show up at the WWE HOF whilst under contract to TNA. That's a breach of his contract and he would likely end up being sued by them. And with his money problems, a lawsuit is something he doesn't need.

I'm sure in the end he'll get permission from Dixie to go. He got permission last year to go to the HOF when Shawn Michaels got inducted.

 

[John McHenry]

Well they can't just let it happen opens the gates for similar events in the future and shows how much of a joke TNA really is.
