John Cena to induct Kurt Angle into the WWE Hall of Fame
John Cena will have the honor of inducting Kurt Angle – his very first opponent in WWE – into the WWE Hall of Fame during the 2017 Induction Ceremony on Friday, March 31, airing live on WWE Network.

Cena was a long way from becoming a 16-time World Champion on June 27, 2002 when he accepted the Olympic Gold Medalist’s open challenge, believing he had the “ruthless aggression” to defeat Angle before striking him. Though he did not earn the victory, Cena established himself as a force to be reckoned with in WWE.

Angle and Cena would remain rivals throughout the latter’s rise to Superstardom, even battling over the WWE Championship in 2005. Now, Cena will present Angle to the WWE Universe for the first time in more than a decade – and officially as a WWE Hall of Famer.

What will Cena have to say when he inducts one of his greatest rivals into sports-entertainment history? Find out during the 2017 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, Friday, March 31 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, live on the award-winning WWE Network!
Started from the bottom now we're here.

Can't really say I condone this. I mean sure cena had good battles but he certainly wasn't part of Kurts most memorable moments. I'd like to have seen Stone Cold, Triple H, or The Rock.

I'm not a huge fan of this either, but I understand the choice and I see it as WWE trying to give him the biggest star they got.

I personally think Rock, Austin, Triple H or Lesnar would make more sense personally. I would probably go with Austin or Triple H for their comedic chemistry. I'd lean a little more toward Hunter only because he probably played a large role in bringing Angle in for the induction.

Angle seems to be elated and that's all that matters in the end.

Cena made neckbeards stop bitching about Snoop Dogg's induction.

He can induct whoever he damn well pleases, also, stop acting like Steve Austin or Rock don't have other shit to do.

Right because they can't find one night to induct Kurt.

I think it makes sense. That's the match that started arenas career. Full circle and all.

Why do you assume they would jump through all the WWE hoops? They're not indentured servants.

What the bloody hell are you talking about? It isn't complicated to make a one night appearance and induct someone who's been detrimental to your career. I really doubt they'd say no if asked.

Austin or Rock haven't been linked to Angle, they're linked to each other.

Angle was the franchises first opponent and thus more benefited by him than either Austin or Rock.

Also, use of detrimental is wrong.

Doesn't compare to all the great moments shared by Angle and Rock/Austin

So what? They're not under contract or even advertised to be there.

Think.
