Yeah there’s no way they’re inducting Rock and Batista in the same year

I don't think Batista should be inducted unless he's the star of it think his name is big enough to be that

My guess is
Rock
Bam Bam Bigelow
Brother Love/Bruce Prichard
William Regal
Andy Kaufman
LayCool

Well think of more names do think Cornette deserves in tho
Regal can’t be on WWE tv though for the rest of the year so either they make a deal with Khan (which went so well with the Billy Gunn thing.) or he’s mostly going in next year.

I still find it extremely weird why nothing about the HOF has been mentioned yet though. It’s scheduled to be happening after the go home Smackdown so it’s just over 3 weeks away and we don’t even know the headliner.

Yeah, they’re making the most of booking the old Staples Center. Smackdown/HOF on Friday, NXTs big show Saturday then post Mania Raw as well all in that arena.

So there hasn’t been any inductions accounted yet but I’m starting this thread for when they announce them. A curious piece of news came out. Mick Foley confirmed he will be inducting someone but didn’t say who it was. Any ideas?
Yurple.


In all seriousness Triple H hasn't been inducted as an individual, and is most definitely deserving. And Foley was one of his most important rivals. But it could also be a random celebrity too. Or Warrior Award winner.

Figured it'd be easy to consolidate all of this into one area once it finally gets going.

The 2023 WWE Hall of Fame is set to take place at the end of the month, and as things stand, WWE hasn’t announced any inductees.

However, according to Mick Foley, he’s been asked to induct someone into the Hall of Fame, and this mystery individual he hasn’t spoken to in years.

Speaking on his podcast, Foley revealed:

I received a text message from someone I’d had no contact with in a while, years and years, asking if I would induct them into the WWE Hall of Fame. As this plays out, we will see. There’s always a chance that request will be denied, but I know this person responded back to WWE that I was in”.

Who could it be?!

My guess Al Snow? Randy Orton? Also not sure why he thinks they'd consider denying the request.
