Live WWE Hall of Fame 2023 Discussion Thread *Spoilers*

While I do think Stacy is a lock at this point, I doubt Booker actually knows shit tho lol he's probably just responding to the rumor headlines for his podcast since that seems to be most people's format and why half the time they clearly don't even know what's going on bc they just go off headlines (not unlike a lot of fans either tbf lol)

Booker T On Stacy Keibler In The WWE Hall Of Fame: 'She Was One Of A Kind' - Wrestling Inc.

Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has stated that Stacy Keibler deserves to be a part of the Hall of Fame and explains why he feels that way.

How you can tell if a pre-2013 woman is going to the Hall of Fame: a bunch of WWE-adjacent people start pretending she was ever used as anything more than a piece of meat

I mean he’s not wrong. That’s just how the women were used back then. There’s no doubt people tuned in to see her and that’s what matters.

Does anyone think Umaga will ever be inducted? He seems to be a common name brought up but he was only in the company for three years (not including his run as Jamal). I know he was a top heel but that’s such a short career. I feel like WWE may do it just to honor his Anoa’i heritage but idk.

Yeah he'll get in just for how respected he is I think, very short (but awesome) run may not be "deserved" but idc I'd like to see it

Only if Regal inducts him as Umanga

 

[Hoss]

I'd consider it deserved regardless. He was a top Ruthless Aggression heel, had one of Cena's best matches ever, was a memorable IC Champion, was involved in the Milan Miracle, was involved in the Battle of the Billionaires at Mania 23 and the Smackdown vs. Raw match at Mania 24, had an iconic look and manager... all on top of just being a good wrestler. No question in my mind he should be one of the top picks for future induction.

I guess if Great Khali gets in then so can Umaga

I’ll agree with all those except the Mania 24 match. That didn’t mean shit

Fair enough. It's one of the memorable matches of the show for me, but in reality they were just shoehorning Batista and Umaga on the card so yeah, reasonable enough

deserved in between quotations is correct, since it is a fictitious hall with no actual delimiting factors as to who is or who isn't eligible

ABOUT DAMN TIME

This is pretty cool. I imagine if Lawler is healthy enough by then, he’ll be the one to induct Kaufman.

*edit* Blaze beat me to it lol.
