Hall Of Fame 2007

[Y 2 Jake]

I think they should have themed hall of fames, for example this year when they inducted Bret Hart they should have had a Hart related ceramony.

This is who I think should have been inducted:-

Bret Hart
Owen Hart
Jim Neidhart
Davey Boy Smith
Brian Pillman
Tom Billington
Stu Hart

Davey Boy Smith

Bret was just inducted this past year

But I agree 100% with all of those....Except for Tom Billington (due to not knowing who he is).

Others to be inducted.....Randy Savage, Dusty Rhodes, Yokozuna, Any of the Von Erich's. Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig, John "Earthquake" Tenta, Mr. Fuji, Arn Anderson, Ric Flair, The Road Warriors (Animal and Hawk), and there are way more to name.

 

[Yaszie_123]

Stone Cold Steve Austin
The Rock
The Undertaker
Shawn Michaels
Triple H
Kane
Trish Stratus
and I can't think of anymore at the moment

 

[THTRobtaylor]

Tom Billington aka The Dynamite Kid! Benoit will arguably induct him sometime soon, Harry will induct Davey but probably not till he is near the main event level, then it makes sense to do it.

The difficulty WWE has, is it has to balance main eventers with the guys who made lasting impacts without titles. and also it has the issue of those who are alive or not... An empty stage at WM where all the dead guys should be would shatter WWE's family image... so all these guys like Davey, Owen, Pillman, Quake, Bossman and Rude will have to be staggered over the years... They will all get in eventually, but they can't all go in at once...

With that in mind I think 2007's will be:-

Savage & Liz
Steamboat (I like the idea of inducting each other, though I think Flair will induct Steamboat and Hogan would induct Savage and Liz.)
The Rock (they need to get him on a WWE show somehow) (inducted by Rocky Johnson)
Jericho (ditto infact it's a little more important to get Jericho back into WWE right now, inducted by Goldberg lol...ok, I'd go with Dean Malenko)
Ted DiBiase (inducted by IRS/Mike Rotundo
Bruno Sammartino (Inducted by Vince)
Rick Rude (Inducted by Bobby Heenan)
JBL & Ron Simmons (if JBL's back injury is as bad as it seems and he is retired, then he will go in quickly.. Ron deserves it on his own for being the first Black world champion in WCW... another duo that should induct each other (complete with one night only APA skit)

[realblackhart]

I think the best person to get into the Hall of Fame is Terry Funk. He is allready in the WCW Hall of Fame. He should be inducted in the WWE won, he's a legend.

 

[ROH4LIFE]

Mr.Perfect
Owen Hart
should be in

 

[realblackhart]

This is a list of the guys in the WCW HOF.
1993 -
Lou Thesz
Verne Gagne
Mr. Wrestling II
Eddie Graham
1994 -
Harley Race
Ernie Ladd
The Crusher
Dick the Bruiser
Ole Anderson
Masked Assassin
1995 -
Wahoo McDaniel
Dusty Rhodes
Antonio Inoki
Angelo Poffo
Terry Funk
Big John Studd
Gordon Solie

Ernie Ladd, Big John Studd, and Verne Gagne are the only wrestlers to be inducted into both the WCW Hall of Fame and the WWE Hall of Fame.

Do you think any of these other guys will be inducted into the WWE HOF this upcomming year?

 

[Dkko]

I agree with most of the wrestlers some of you have cited, but think about this: If Vince can put William "The Refrigerator" Perry and Pete Rose in the HOF, I wonder what will keep him from putting DAVID ARQUETTE in the near future? If he can actually induct a guy for playing the Gobbeldygooker for a few seconds at Wrestlemania 15, why not a former WCW World Champion?

 

[boss2k]

Curt Hennig, Randy Savage, all the Von Erichs, and The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase (one of the greatest heels)

 

[Wall_of_Jericho]

At Wrestlemania 23 I would put this lot into the Hall of Fame.

Stone Cold Steve Austin - I can't find a reason why not.

Mr Perfect - Amazing wrestler, great charisma, one of the most popular guys in the dressing room back in the day and still to this day is regarded as the Best Intercontinental Champion of all time, even though he only held it twice.

Ted DiBiase - The ultimate heel back in the day. The guy you love to hate because he is richer than you. Pulled off the character so well, Vince picked the right man to portray the character.

Ravishing Rick Rude - Just oozed charisma and had amazing in-ring ability. Hell he had to single handidly carry the Ultimate Warrior through matches for most of 1989. That deserves credit.

Owen Hart - A lot of fans are dieing to see it (me included) but it's down to his family. Will they consent to allowing him to be inducted into the HOF?

Demolition - First tag team in WWE history to win the World Tag Team Championships three times.

Mr Fuji - They always seem to induct a manager every year. So why not Fuji? People forget he had a highly successful wrestling career before becoming a manager.

 

[kingofkings6405]

Hall Fame well ...Stone Cold Steve Austin and have Vince McMahon induct him
Jake The Snake Roberts, Randy Macho Man Savage, SD Jones (LOL), Demolition,LOD

 

[Wall_of_Jericho]

I forgot about Jake Roberts, he is a definite.

 

[ben01]

Owen- not trying to be rude but the only reason why Eddie was inducted so early is because they knew they could get super huge buyrates and ratings off of that angle. Bulldog and Owen deserve it a lot more than Eddie right now in my opinion. I respect Eddie and what he has done but all they are doing is milking his death for money and ratings, My goodness its been how many months since he passed and they are still using this angle?? Anyway thats a whole new thread. SOrry


Demelition
Brutus Beefcake
LOD
Mr. Perfect a must
Jim Neidhart
Macho Man
Bam Bam Bigalow maybe....
good ole JR
Flyin Brian
Barry Whindahm

 

[ben01]

and Jake Roberts

 

[dashthestanpeat]

Ed Leslie. He deserves it for putting up with the shitty gimmicks they put on him.

 

[chief]

What about the tag team Demolition (without Crush) and the Legion Of Doom, probably the two best tag teams throughout the late 80's and early 90's! They could main event shows!! You would never see that these days!

 

[hardyfan4life]

i'd say my top five for the future are:
Dibiase (maybe this year)
HBK
HHH
Ric Flair
'Taker

 

[Lil'Rick Tha Boss]

Dusty Rhodes
Mr. Perfect Aka Curt Henning
Owen Hart
The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith
The Legion Of Doom
The Big Boss Man
Paul Bearer
Macho Man Randy Savage
Razor Ramon
The Rock
Chyna
Terry Funk
