Next TNA HOF Inductee

[Troy]

​

The TNA Hall of Fame was announced on May 31st 2012 and the first inductee, Sting, was announced on the 10th of June 2012. Sting was then inducted by Lex Luger on 13th of October 2012 the day before Bound For Glory.

Whilst this year's HOF is still quite a few months away I am interested to see who members think should go in next. Top names that would surely be up for consideration are Jeff Jarrett, Kurt Angle, Raven, AJ Styles and maybe even AMW. I am also intrigued to see whether TNA stick with just one person being inducted or expand it to two this year. They can't expand by too many as the majority of top candidates are still wrestling for the company but I think that two is manageable. It would allow them to induct the man who should have been first JJ and then add their pick for this year. Or it would allow them to go for a singles wrestler and then add their top tag team as well in AMW.

Who do you think should be the next wrestler inducted into the TNA HOF and would you like to see them induct more than one person this year?

Jarrett he probably should have been first. There are probably 5-10 guys that should have been before sting thing is TNA isn't old enough to have a HOF and most of their guys are nowhere near retirement age so they'll just start inducting guys they think wwe wont. Hopefully they don't beat WWE to Savage cause out of the two WWE's HOF is more prestigious.

TNA has been around for ten years so they have been around long enough for a HOF the big issue is the fact that most of the top candidates still wrestle weekly for them. JJ has to go in this year, was ridiculous that he was overlooked the first time around. If they go for two I would add Raven in as well as he did a lot for TNA in the early days. I can see TNA wanting to put in Angle though and I really hope they hold off for a bit on that. What would be even worse if it Hogan gets the nod this year.

TNA inducting Savage would be a joke, wrestled one match there and was never a big part of NWA so there is no history there either. At least if WWE induct Sting he had history with WCW which WWE own so it makes sense.

I though Jarrett was on the outs with Dixie and was pretty much persona non grata at this point or am I wrong about that?

Regardless, if it is just one person it probably should be AJ, though I'm not exactly a fan of inducting active wrestlers.

No other TNA guy, aside from Jarrett, has meant more to TNA. I'm not even much of a Styles fan but the way that guy gets treated after busting his ass there for how long now is practically criminal. Dude deserves better and definitely deserves to go in before anyone else.

On a more cynical note, while typing this out I had a vision of Hulk Hogan with "two Hall of Fame rings, brother!" and I shuddered inside because I know that it's not outside the realm of possibility.

He must be on the out to not have been their first choice, it is a bit odd that he has been off tv for so long with TNA. Not sure if he has just been working backstage or what but he has disappeared. The fact that he may not be their top choice is why I am leaning to two inductees this year, gives them the opportunity to pick their guy and then also put in the guy that deserves it in JJ.

Styles deserves it but he still has quite a few years left in him, at least Sting was very close to the end. That is why I see them heading for an Angle or a Hogan. Angle only has a year or two left and Hogan is practically done so they are close to be retired. I am sure that Hogan and Bischoff will manage to convince Dixie to induct Hogan this year or next.

 

[The New F'n Show]

Until Jarrett gets in it's Jarrett. No discussion.

 

[Rated R Superstar]

Jarrett or bust!

 

[Troy]

But does everyone really think that TNA will induct JJ next? He deserves it but at the end of the day it isn't up to him and he doesn't seem to be in the good books.

 

[Rated R Superstar]

They should do it. Without Double J there would have been no TNA, it's pretty much a damn crime to the business not to induct the guy!

 

[John McHenry]

Jarrett built the company to exclude him shows what the Hall is all about kissing ass.

 

[Dale]

I'm gonna go with Kurt.

 

[monkeystyle]

Jarrett is kind of like Steve Jobs at the moment. Exiled from his own company and currently working elsewhere.

 

[Chris]

Should be: Jerry Jarrett

Will most likely be: Hulk or Angle

 

[Chriss]

Jarrett or riot.
