I think with Wrestlemania 32 attempting to be the biggest of all time and them wanting to sell 100,000 tickets, a well supported HOF would certainly do them no harm whatsoever.
Easy question - who do you want/think will be placed in there? I think the below is a very worthy and very strong line up!
Sting (Headline)
His run with WWE is rumoured to come to an end around Mania 32 time and as a Texas resident I think it would be perfect too see him headline the class of 2016. Many will say the Undertaker is more fitting but I think he still has a few more Manias in him. Having him in the HOF and his retirement match the same year? Well I think that is putting your eggs in one basket and both should be separate events. Plus seeing Mark Calloway the night before we see the Undertaker is a little strange. A year apart not so much.
Christian (recent pro)
Recently retired and WWE usually send them into the HOF the year after they have finished up in the ring - more so if their career is cut short. Christians retirement went quietly under the radar so he deserves the HOF fanfare. I was never a massive fan but his career is HOF worthy, TLC matches alone.
The Hart Foundation (faction)
A lot of talk whether or not Owen Hart is HOF worthy, and recently there are a few in the industry asking why Davey Boy Smith isn't in there. The simple solution is throw them all in at once. Hart Foundation is a HOF worthy faction and will see Bret and Neidhart pick up the gongs for the three other departed superstars. I think with Owen's DVD project then we are not far off an induction.
Dutch Mantel (old pro)
Better known to a few as Zeb Colter, he had a great year run recently with Jack Swagger but he seems to have disappeared so it looks like his time on TV has come to an end. In the business for 5 decades amongst 5 promotions, would be a great addition.
Sable (Diva)
Sable put lots of eyes on WWF's product during the Monday Night Wars. Nielson ratings back up this claim. A nice way to keep Mr Lesnar happy as well, although maybe they could save this for when contract renewals are up in 2.5 years - or maybe they already did!
Muhammad Ali (Celebrity)
It doesn't look good on the health front for Ali so I think WWE need to do something quickly if they want him alive at the event. A more than worthy addition to the celebrity wing. If WWE decide not to go with Ali and would prefer to honour him when he has passed then I wouldn't be surprised to see them induct Floyd Mayweather. Like him or loathe him he is the biggest sporting name on the planet and as far as celebrities go, there probably isn't anyone else more deserving after what he achieved at Wrestlemania 24.
