WWE Hall Of Fame: Class of 2015 Discussion *SPOILER*

[Kiffy Lube]

KIF & Jax of course.

Seriously though, VADER.

 

[Chris]

No complaints with Arnie going on, should have a great speech as well.

 

[Deezy]

Either he says "fantastic" or "absolutely" more. Should take bets.

 

[-Doz-]

Bushwhackers? Really...?

 

[Deezy]

Job of fame.

Vince making this the worst class year to bury Macho Man a second time.

 

[-Doz-]

I definitely feel Arnie has a place in the celebrity wing, though there are plenty of other celebrities who contributed more (but you want him in while he is still alive), and Rikishi definitely deserves to be in there eventually. Savage is a no brainer.

But The Bushwhackers is a puzzling one. Their work as the Sheepherders was very solid through the territories, but their Bushwhackers efforts were disgraceful. Next year will we see The Headbangers or Kaientai inducted? How about Gymini inducted by Simon Dean?

 

[Deezy]

HOF is booked like a wrestling show, you're going to get some trainwreck segment to buffer a downer induction.

There is no stats that makes anyone automatic, it's like the baseball HOF, you have to be on the goodside to the ones who make the ballots.

 

[Keith]

Yeah they just need filler guys. Part of it is because the cermory has become a bit of a televised event in ifself. If not for that they could just induct four people per year and be done with it.

 

[-Doz-]

I realise that, and I think 5 nominees a year would still be sufficient. Either including or as well as a celebrity induction.

There are far better filler inductions to be made, some might argue Rikishi is one. Hell there should be the Dudleys in there well before Bushwhackers, and even they would be considered somewhat of a filler compared to headliners like Savage, Edge, and Taker.

 

[-Doz-]

If Bushwhackers are Hall of Fame worthy for about five years of mid-card amusement, then Santino would be eligible, or Hornswoggle.

There are better candidates as filler, for the sake of argument: Rey, Mark Henry, Big Show, Kane, Tommy Dreamer, Dudleys, Hardys, Christian, New Age Outlaws, Rick Rude, British Bulldog, RVD, Nash, Hall, Sid, Angle, Jericho, JBL, Goldberg, Sting, DDP, Bischoff, Heyman, Vader, Steiners, Jarrett, Luger, Miss Elizabeth, Shane Douglas, Funk, Rhino, Goldust...

The only ones from that list with a chance of being the headline induction for the year are Jericho, Angle and Sting.

Look at all them names that are still active, there's really no need to rush them in for the sake of it...

 

[Chris]

I don't mind The Bushwhackers going in, I wasn't a fan of them but they were over as fuck for years and fairly memorable.

 

[Deezy]

If George The Animal Steel was put in in the 90s, anyone is up for it. This is just another thing the WWE uses for it's weekend.

If only Bill Eadie can get over himself, maybe Demolition would've been in already and they would've been remembered as the elite of the 80s teams.

 

[-Doz-]

Of those active names though, they should all be retired within 5 years. Or at least here's hoping. I was more giving suggestions for decent non-headline inductions tbh

PWInsider reports that the Diva set to be announced for tomorrow will be former WWE women’s champion Alundra Blayze aka Madusa from WCW. You might recall her infamous moment from during the Monday Night War when she dropped her WWF women’s title into a trash can on live TV on WCW’s Monday Nitro.

Madusa has been one of the reported names up for an induction for a while. In the past, there was said to have been heat on bringing her in for tossing her WWF belt in the trash, but it seems those fences have been mended.

ORIGINAL:

– WWE.com published the following story on the next WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2015 announcement for tomorrow night on Raw.

The next inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2015 is expected to be named on Monday, WWE.com has learned. Rumors spreading around WWE Headquarters hint that it may be a Diva taking her place in sports-entertainment history.

Who will be joining “Macho Man” Randy Savage, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rikishi and The Bushwhackers in the Hall’s Class of 2015 the night before WrestleMania 31? Could it be a pioneering woman grappler who competed alongside the likes of Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah? Could it be one of the Japanese women who brought their hard-hitting style to America in the early 1990s? Is it one of the sultry Divas from the infamous Attitude Era? Is it even a competitor, or could it be a woman who often accompanied legendary Superstars into battle?
