Better Off This Way
Analysing Owen Hart's career, I'm not sure he would be on so many people's list has what happened not happened. Otherwise, I would put Foley in for his whole body of work. I also think Batista is warranted.

No End in Sight
Goldust.
Da Prophet
Mid-Card Championship Winner
John Cena.

The Miz seems like an acceptable name going off the examples being given.
latino World order
Dang it Bobby
God
I think there is a certain Warrior who Ultimately deserves to be in there. Probably will never happen for a bunch of reasons, but the argument can be made that he should be there.
HBKistheHOF
Guest
They should induct God as a tag team with Shawn Michaels!
Well I think many named previously like Owen, Savage, Rude, Foley, The Rock, Larry "The Axe Hennig, etc. all deserve to be in.
I've been waiting for years for Leslie Neilson to go into the Celebritiy Wing. Besides Ali (& maybe Tyson) Nielson was my favorite appearence of a celebrity for WWE.
I also think they should induct alot more factions/stables. The Freebirds are a great choice. I think D-Generation X will go in sooner rather than later. I would like to see the Hart Foundation get inducted. Maybe even the Nation of Domination.
Otherwise the people that 'Chrome' stated for the most part seems like a solid bunch.
Also IMO WWE will never induct Benoit.
the clearly obvious 4 are:
Bruno Sammartino, Bob Backlund, Randy Savage and Ultimate Warrior. Unitl those four are inducted, the HOF is a joke.
Following from this glaring omissions, I believe the following are long overdue:
Jake the Snake Roberts
Rick Martel
Demolition
Rick Rude
British Bulldogs
Elizabeth
Steve Lombardi
King Kong Bundy

I'm not so sure anyone would die if they weren't on the Hall of Fame.

I'm biased but I want the rock and taker to get in there.

Hey looks guys...Backlund.
From what I hear, Toots Mondt was pretty instrumental in getting WWWF away from the NWA, and molding Sammartino into the force that would take them out of the NWA and Jim Crockett's shadow. But my knowledge of that is pretty much based on other people's opinions that I've overheard.
Fabulous Freebirds are an obvious pick for me. I'd rather see them go in as a stable before Degeneration-X. Not that DX doesn't deserve it - at least in some incarnation of the faction - but the Freebirds were around shaking things up before Hunter and Shawn stepped between the ropes.
This might be a decent year to put in Trish Stratus and/or Lita. Would be nice to see them go into in the same year. With Lita appearing on WWE TV a few times in 2012, and apparently on great terms with everybody, it's probably more likely now than ever before. I'm sure it will happen some day though, so I'm not terribly worried.
Davey Boy?
I'm going to throw a name out there, just because the HOF is from MSG this year: Tommy Dreamer?
Kurt Angle. Sting. Undertaker. Maven. Triple H. Kane. Big Show. John Layfield.
My ideal 2013 class would be:
-Mick Foley
-Bob Backlund
-The Fabulous Freebirds
-Tommy Dreamer
-Lita
-John "Bradshaw" Layfield
