I've seen a lot of great suggestions, Owen and Stu Hart, the Bulldog, Rick Rude, and Bam Bam. I think the Bossman is a good choice but not for a few more years. Has anyone suggested Brian Pillman? As for living, I saw one I really liked, the Dragon.. amazing wrestler. Terry Funk was good. Demolition was definitely one of my favorite tag teams as a little kid, just from their music alone. How about Lord Alfred Hayes? or Todd Pettengill? [haha, he was a legend in 1995] The Rock and Stone Cold are good choices too, but I think it's too soon for them yet.

this is actually a good idea but there would be no Ole. Ole Anderson does not have a good relationsip with Vince and when Vince told him he would never work for the WWE again Tully took him at his wordand never will thats why he wasnt in the 4 horseman DVD and thats why he wont be in the hall of fame but the other 4 Flair,Arn,Tully and JJ will probably all be inducted.
Another good option for the HOF who has been talked about and would be good is Gordon Solie this ma was the voice of wrestling in the North and should have been in years ago but at least it looks like he'll be getting in now.

i would like to see STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN and THE ROCK inducted in to the HALL OF FAME there are no wrestlers today as big as what they were , they deserve to be inducted for all they have achieved i can honestly say that it would make alot of fans very happy.

I think YOU have a better chance at being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame next year than Chris Benoit does.
Honestly, I don't think we'll ever see Benoit inducted, for obvious reasons.
With the steroid issue still smoldering in the news, and the "sport" of pro wrestling to be formally investigated by US Congress, the last thing the WWE is going to do publicly is honor Benoit.
It was his death and the tragedy surrounding it that sparked this renewed interest in the first place.
Benoit in the HOF?
Don't hold your breath.

I think they should put owen in the hall of fame, and when the time comes which sadly would be never i would like to see benoit in their but it wont happen due to the whole family situation which has ruined an otherwise great career.
My picks for the 2008 hall of fame would be as follows1:
Flair Right time, it would be great leading to a retirement angle
Owen Simply put it has been too long since they should have done this i dont know why they have delayed it for soo long
The Rock Simply put his careers over so why not
British Bulldog this one is for us brits who know that he has lead a storied career and is probably one of the greates uncrowned world british champions that should of been

The WWE will not induct any BIG men next year, mark my words, They wont want to acknowledge anybody with any links, or who appear to be on juice. They dont want any negative publicity, and ceartinly dont want to be seen as commmending them in any shape or form. I think we will See Ric Flair next year, and many others who are seen as role models for the industry (Steamboat comes to mind, as does Bob Backlund if he isnt with TNA still). Stars like Kerry Von Erich and Brian Pillman, although deserving, might be ignored this year, purely on political reasons.
I think Steve Austin, Mick Foley, Ric Flair and the Rock should all be inducted into the Hall of Fame this year, but I bet they wait to induct at least 2 of those names until WM25. I think it goes without saying that Savage and Warrior both deserve it. I think Randy likely gets in, and Warrior probably never will since he's an Internet political hero now. Dibiase without a doubt needs to go in to the HOF in Orlando. I live in Otown, hopefully I'll be able to snag some seats.
If Flair is inducted this year, look for Arn Anderson or James J Dillion to give the induction speech. For deceased wrestler, I would think Rick Rude would go in this year. I don't see Owen being inducted any time soon, since none of the family would participate. With the WWE purchasing the WCCW tape library I would look for the Von Eric family to go in this year. The Million Dollar man's son is about to be called up from OVW, so they may put his father in as well.
come on you all know Ultimate Warrior should be in the WWE Hall Of Fame, ok nobody liked him, yeah he is crazy but if you watched wrestling then the man was a great entertainer and during his time only one man was a bigger star and that was Hogan
they should add him but just don't invite him but I don't it will ever happen but no question he should be in
LOL Warrior is the Pete Rose of wrestling LOL

Break Me Down.
Got to take into consideration who is on good enough terms with WWE to get inducted. So just forget about guys like Warrior and Savage going in. It's never gonna happen.
My three main inductions would go as follows:
The Four Horsemen: As the showpiece induction of the night, induct all of the original Horsemen. Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard, Ole Anderson, Arn Anderson and JJ Dillon. After getting their DVD it made me realise how good and ahead of their time they were. They paved the way for stables in the business and still to this day IMO they set the standard.
The Legion of Doom: WWE usually like to induct a tag team every year. It's about time the LOD got in. First team to win the WWF, NWA and AWA Tag Team Championships which at the time (late 80's/early 90's) was an incredible achievement. Plus the LOD were able to get bigger pops than the main eventers on the card. That's got to make them Hall of Fame worthy alone.
Ted DiBiase: For me, he is one of the greatest heels in the history of the business, he was the ultimate guy you love to hate. He had that one thing that everyone wants, money. Ted played the gimmick so well as the rich bastard who just wanted to degrade people for money and try to buy his way to success although he had the ability in the ring to back it up.

i would have to agree with the poster above. there will be no big men inducted this year. there is just too much heat at the moment.
Dibiase has to be inducted. He is a great heel and a standup guy. a real role model for anyone watching WWE.
As far as Austin and the Rock go...i think it is just too soon.

I dunno who all I would put in but I think Macho Man Randy Savage would be a good pick. He is definetly a legend and was very popular in the 80's/90's. Owen Hart also should get the nod(if he already hasn't). He not only deserves it b/c his life was cut short doing the thing he loved but b/c he was a great wrestler. Thoes are 2 of my pics.

Work in progress
Remember, to get in the HoF you need to be on good terms with WWE-which is why they held off with inducting Bret. Here are a few who I think should go in:
RIC FLAIR: This is ONLY if their doing that retirement angle leading up to WMXXIV. On the other hand, Ric's been in the business around 30 years. A shoe in for an eventual induction. Returning the favor from his induction, I could see Roddy Piper (and maybe Arn Anderson) inducting the Nature Boy.
OWEN HART: The Harts and WWE are pretty much at a stalemate right now. They've got two of their own in the company right now, but another just got fired. Honestly, its up to the two sides if their willing (and hopefully they are).
Bret, Harry Smith, and Nattie Neidhart inducting and Owen's wife and children accepting.
Those are the only ones I can actually think of that really deserve it this year. Knowing WWE, they'll throw probably 5 more inductees in, but I can't think of 5 more right now.

4-"King Kong Bundy" Great heel
5-"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair Bar none the best wrestler to ever grace the squared circle. 16 time World Champion, one of th ebest at telling stories in the ring, one of the most respected, was the main Champion when the belts actually meant something

Hogan's already in the HoF. And I'm sorry but Benoit isn't going in. Maybe quietly 10 years from now.
My favorite choice for the HoF in 08 would be the Rock. Face the facts, he is done with wrestling, and he did do the right thing. Left on top, didn't hang around like some of the older guys waiting for another run. That would be a HUGE draw to the HOF ceremony. Other top choices for me would be LOD, Ron Simmons, and Rick Rude.
-Flair: only if he has retired at that point, he is the 16 time World Champ, no further reasoning
-Legion of Doom: one of the best if not the best tag team of all time
-If his realtionship with WWE was better Id say Macho Man Randy Savage, but I doubt it will happen. Although, Sheiks realtionship with WWE was not the best either so it might not suprise me to see Macho Man there....someday.
-Stone Cold: Easily one of the biggest attraction WWE ever had. The world went nuts each time that glass shattered on the loudspeaker and if they heard it at the HOF it would be that much bigger.
-I think Owen Hart should be the one in the deceased category seeing that he died first, unfortunately, and it has been quite some time since.
-If we are going to include a manger/valet Im going to have to say Paul Bearer. He was Takers best manager and played the character bettter than I believe anyone else could have.
-And one more...Although Im hardly a fan of this man anymore he did bring electricity to the ring and the atmosphere. He should be inducted along with his greatest rival, Steve Austin, being that The Rock did become one of the biggest names in the company's history. He pretty much acknowledged the fact not too long ago that he wont wrestle again. I find that strange seeing that he hardly ever, if ever, got hurt wrestling and in his movie-making career he has torn muscles and even suffered a heat stroke. But I still say he should be inducted because apparently he is retired from the ring.

Jake the Snake Roberts: Best psychologist ever. Amazing mic work and slow burning matches.
Owen Hart: Not because he tragically died, not as a 'favour' to the Harts but simply because he was a fucking LEGEND!!!!
Road Warrior Hawk: He was one half of the Road Warriors! Go figure.
The Rock: Retired, not coming back, undoubtedly will be still mentioned in 50 years time

I think it should be Ric Flair. Hes at the top of the list of wrestlers who have won the most world titles. And hes been wrestling since 1972.

i strongly feel machoman randy savageshould be inducted as he as the total package who had it all, as or managers i think the nod should go to paul bearer or if jc was not with tna he would also be a top canididate as for flair i feel he should be inducted next year as he should go out on top at mania for his ability not just because he got inducted into the hof. other inductees should include the long over due Ted DeBiase there are rumors about him every year and its about time the actually did something. i feel AA should also go in to inducted of course by flair,
i feel attitude era stars suc as rock, austin and foley should be inducted in later classes just because its too early after the attitude era wait til the nex decade for these iductees. there are plenty others to choose from

I agree with MachoFan about not inducing Attitude era stars until a few years down the road. There are way too many deserving legends from before that we don't need to start inducting these guys yet. People like Austin and Foley are definitely deserving, don't get me wrong, but I'd say give it another five years at least and use this time to bring in older legends, such as Ted DiBiase, Rick Rude, and Jake Roberts.

Talk loud, hit harder!
I have yet to read any spoilers for the HOF 08 so I'm going to select my picks;
1. Stu Hart- it's a no brainer, WWE constantly uses "he's a pupil of the hart dungeon" to get their guys over, he's done a lot for wrestling, and WWE.
2. Ted Debiase needs to be there, god he was good.
3. Ravishing Rick Rude- would be nice to honour a fallen hero
4. Tag team has to be LOD, and since Animal's brother is head booker it can't be a longtime off.
5. The fink deserves a nod for his service, he was the first employee hired by Vince (according to JR) and he's been at EVERY WM, what more does he have to do???
Some older guys who never really worked WWE
6. Gotta be Terry Funk, the guy has done so much for this business and is revered by younger stars.
I don't think Bulldog will get in, he was never a main eventer and being from the UK I think we as a nation really OVERRATED HIM, but with DH needing a push it might just happen. As long as we dont see The Gobbledegooker or Doink they should pick sensibly.

My ideas for the 2008 hall of fame are:
LOD - This is becaus ehtey were one of the biggest tag teams of the 90s and deserve to be in the HOF!!
Howard Finkel - He deserves to go in the HOF just simply because he has been around for so long and is a great announcer, mania wouldnt be the same without him!!
DaveyBoySmith-Brithish Bulldog - May not have been the main eventer like rock or austin but he was a popular superstar that was loved espicially in the UK that did alot for the business. Deserves a place in the HOF!!
Stu Hart - Without this guy alot of the big names in wrestling wouldnt exisit today!! i agree with Austinairesmark!!!
Paul Bearer - One of the weirdest yet legendary managers of all time helps bring the chilling atmosphere when the deadman cane to the ring!!
Mae Young - She has been known for her sick yet funny mopments but has always been around and desevres a spot in the HOF!
Ric Flair - if he retires then this legend will be the main event of the evening, inducted by arn anderson or HHH!! he has done everything and anything for the business!!
Future years will see the rock stone cold mick foley maybe hopefully chris benoit he shudnt be remebered for what he did in the last hoursof his life but for what he did to the business and how he enetertained the crowds for years!! Owen hart should be in here but his wife has got a right to her opinuon however wrong it is!!

I don't think the Rock or Stone Cold or even Foley have been gone long enough to be inducted, but they definitely will be one day.
Main Eventer- Ted DiBiase, one of the best heels of all time. I mean who else would try to buy their world title or a high entrance into the Royal Rumble. Who else could pay Andre the Giant to do his dirty work. He put on classic battles with just about anyone and everyone. And to this day I don't think I've seen very many submission holds that could compare to the Million Dollar Dream. Plus something about the way he dropped that fist still gets me going.
Deceased- There's only one obvious choice for me, since Owen Hart isn't likely to be inducted.. Crush may or may not make it in one of these days, but I think it'd be later rather sooner.. and we all know Benoit may not ever get in, which is just tragic, but obviously they have their reasons. So my vote for the Hall of Fame 2008 Deceased category goes to, the Ravishing One, Rick Rude. Another one of the greatest heels of the last twenty years, and one of the greatest Intercontinental champions of all time. He had classic bouts with Steamboat, Sting and dozens of others.. And he was one of few men who ever put on a decent show with the Ultimate Warrior [which IMO is reason enough.] Plus I'll never forget in the peak of the Monday Night Wars, Rude was the only man who ever managed to be on both shows on the same night, working for both companies.
Female Wrestler/Valet- Sensational Sherri just made one of not only the best women wrestlers, but also heel valets I've ever seen. I'll be honest I'm not quite old enough to remember her wrestling, but I saw her manage greats like Savage, HBK, DiBiase, Harlem Heat, and Shane Douglas in ECW.
Tag Team- There's a ton of classic teams I thought of, but the best choice IMO would have to be Demolition. Personally one of my favorite teams from back in the day, tag team champions, had good runs as faces and heels. Classic matches with the Hart Foundation, The Powers of Pain, The Rockers, and dozens of others.. And without this team I don't see Barry Darsow or Bill Eadie making much of a name for themselves. And yes, I do remember the Repo Man and the golfer gimmick Darsow had in WCW.
And of course the Fink, who was basically the voice of the WWF for 20 years or more. And that's all I have to say about that.
I had tons of great athletes run through my mind, and decided on the names I listed above.. And anyone on the following list I've loved to watch over the years, and have had some and will no doubt one day be in the HOF.. Noteable mentions include:
Rick Martel, Michael Wallstreet, Jake the Snake, Bam Bam Bigelow, Slick, Miss Elizabeth, Ron Simmons, Honky Tonk Man, Yokozuna, Big Bossman, The Barbarian, The Killer Bees, KoKo B. Ware [although i'm not sure if he's retired], the Rougeaus, One Man Gang/Akeem, Bad News Brown, and the Texas Tornado.

Occasional Pre-Show
i agree with you on the million dollar man he was one of the most awesome wrestlers ive ever seen, we need someone like him in wrestling now. im not positive but i think sensational sherri is already in so how bout woman, sure she wasnt in wrestling for a long time but its a nice way to remember her. I would love to see demolition get in but i think they may be having some problems with vince so i would say no to this year how bout strike force. And its a shame the honkey tonk man isnt in already, i would vote him in anyday.
