[Postman Dave]

Since we have three inductees, we may as well get this going now.

Talking point: Edge should have gone in next year, it's too soon. Agree?

 

[Lover Boy]

Yeah, I think its too soon for Edge to be inducted. I think he should have been inducted next year as he hasnt been retired that long.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I think Macho Man should be in it this year, Edge might be too soon but I'm a fan I approve and Horsemen I approve of also.

 

[Postman Dave]

Figuring out whether I should attend or not. Would be pretty cool I suppose.

 

[Lover Boy]

Fans are allowed to attend? I thought it was only for like wrestlers and there families.

 

[Postman Dave]

no, fans are allowed in. It's quite funny, all the wrestlers and their families and friends dress up smart and act respectful, and they let us normal folk in to cheer and boo people still, hahaha.

 

[Fuji Vice]

A friend mentioned that one reason they may not be willing to put Macho in this year is that it may come across as them capitalizing on his death. I don't agree because I believe the HoF will sell out regardless of who gets in, but it can be seen as a plausible explanation on their part.

 

[Bad News Booty]

Didn't Eddie get in same year?

[Kross Rhodes]

Every wrestler who has died in the last ten years has gotten in that immediate year.

If Savage doesn't go in this year, it's a good sign he may never.

 

[Cyrus Riddle]

I don't have a problem with Edge going in this year...he will be going in regardless, but part of me feels that it is too soon. However, I am not gonna complain because I am an Edge fan anyway. The Four Horsemen was an amazing addition and I am glad that they are getting the recognition they deserve. I've said for months now that Macho needs to be in there, and it would be stupid for them not to put him in. I feel his spot is reserved, they just need to put it on paper and make it official. It's killing me that he is not in there when there are guys like Drew Carey and Will Perry that don't even deserve the distinction.

He did, though one could argue he was a current wrestler at the time of his death whereas Macho was not. Personally I would like to see Savage in but then again the HoF doesn't hold much merit to me because McMahon Sr's limo driver is in it.

wwe inducts these fucking celebrities that made one or two appearances in wwe like drew carey, will perry, pete rose, bob uecker and others, but they don't induct macho man, Rick rude, davey boy smith, Jake the snake and other deserving people. It makes me sick.

But anyway edge, mil mascaras, and the four horsemen should make a valuable edition to the HOF.

Spoiler

I heard yokuzuna would be inducted. I also heard that there's a small posibility that the rock will be inducted. These rumors are not confirmed yet.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

If Dwayne Johnson gets inducted into the Hall of Fame I may go on a killing spree in Miami this year.

Easy young fellow, don't fly off the handle and get upset about it. Who cares if they induct celebrities? Celebrities are an indelible part of what made them the company they are today. Using the Rock and Wrestling Connection, Mr. T and others just got them more notoriety and press, which in turn led to them becoming hugely profitable in a recession-based economy during the late 1980's. Once the attitude era began, who better to kick it off than Mike Tyson? Believe me, there's just enough reason for them to induct celebrities as there is to induct all those guys who you mentioned. Those guys will get in one day, so don't fret.
