Another rumor on the 2013 hall of fame

[Stopspot]

With next year's WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony taking place at Madison Square Garden in New York City, the company plans to pay homage to the famous area.

Besides Mick Foley likely being enshrined, there is discussion of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, the Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags) and Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) being inducted, according to F4WOnline.com. Johnson made his debut at the famous arena in 1996, while Harlem Heat was a New York-based gimmick. In the case of The Nasty Boys, who hail from Allentown, Pennsylvania, the two were billed from "The Streets of New York City" during their time in World Championship Wrestling.

Company officials would also like to honor Owen Hart, who defeated Bret Hart in a memorable WrestleMania match at Madison Square Garden in 1994. Despite the push for Owen, the enshrinement is unlikely to materialize because his widow would not allow it. Hart's brother Smith revealed on Twitter earlier this year, "Because she blames the wrestling business in its entirety for his death. "She is the sole owner of his estate. With Martha, there will never B a way, perhaps his kids may eventually make the choice. But thats at least 20 yrs in future."

Plus, Paul "Triple H" Levesque, WWE Executive Vice President of Talent and Live Events, is said to "desperately" want Bruno Sammartino enshrined, but it's considered a long shot for a multitude of reasons.

Original source is Meltzer so make of it what you want.

Really, the Nasty Boys? No offence to them but I could think of some other teams that might be more kayfabe worthy.

It seems that to get in the HOF, you just need to have been in WWE/WCW for a long time. The Nasty Boys fit that description, Harlem Heat, not so much. Booker deserves to be in there, but not Stevie Ray IMO.

The HOF is going to end up being full of anyone who was in the wwf/e for longer then 3 years.

Jake Roberts, dammit. Jake Roberts.

Some say the Nasty Boys were great and some hated them. Personally I don't want to see them get in but I see why they are.

Foley would be a definite in my opinion to go in this year, and maybe having the Rock induct him. Terry Funk might also be a good pick to induct him as well. The Rock won't go in because he has another match and I'm sure WWE will be wanting him for the Hall of Fame next year after this match. Sammartino deserves to be in it. The Nasty Boys would just be a waste of an induction. I'd rather have Lanny Poffo manipulating his way in to the Hall of Fame along with Randy & Angelo than the Nasty Boys. Another good pick might be Rick Rude in my opinion. They could have Cody's mustache induct him. Speaking of Rhodes, why not have Goldust in this year?
