I mean this in all sincerity. The Gimmick Battle Royal most definitely belongs.

Loved the idea of putting in Austin vs Bret from Wrestlemania 13 it makes me giddy of what we could get in the future. Hopefully Michaels vs Bret Hart from Wrestlemania 12 is one of them down the road.

But you do see the UFC Hall of fame inducting fights which is a better comparison and also the same parent company as WWE lol

I think it works better in WWE than UFC even, UFC is very weird to do it as a traditional sport but they started it
I had no idea they did that shit :lol

Undertaker vs Mick Foley 1998 King of The Ring sounds like one to go in

I hated that match.

Foley vs Taker HIAC would be my guess for next year.

Tbh I don’t like this idea lol. The HoF should be for superstars not matches.

You don’t see the baseball hall of fame inducting certain games do you
There also isn't a physical building with stuff in that you can go see. This is all just in the air and wrestlers get a ring and new title


Also just reading back and we have moved on.

Immortalized moments.

Use all of Hogan/Andre. The turn with the shirt rip to the slam.

Mega power explode

Macho/Steamboat.

Sting/Flair

Great to see Austin v Bret being the first match inducted. One of my favourite matches of all time along with Rock v Hogan which should be put in next year.

...it was a hell of a match and we knew it at the time. And I think that it was good that it was in Chicago, because Chicago was kind of a stronghold for me, but it would have worked anywhere. But the fact that it happened with Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart. There’s a couple behind-the-scenes stories that, you know, I don’t want to talk about. But, man, it was a hell of a match, and it’s cool for people to still remember it damn near 30 years later. So, yeah, it means something to me, because, I don’t know, if it wasn’t for the fans, I wouldn’t be sitting here. So the fact that that match is relevant and it’s going into the 2025 Hall of Fame for matches and it’s the first match to be inducted, cool.”
