WWE Hall of Fame 2008

[wrestlingfreak_21]

Everyone knew that Flair was going to be inducted. But because of the storyline it doesn't make any sense. Vince introduced the if you lose you retire angle. So why would he reward whim with a HOF spot? It doesn't make any sense at all. It's Vinces company, and he doesn't like Flair. Anyway because of the storyline it is stupid.

As for real life. Meh. He's deserving. Without a doubt. But he isn't going to retire. So it won't be as big a deal as it should be. Bret Hart's induction was a big deal, even Hogan's was. But within a few months Flair will probably be back wrestling full time again. He isn't evene a special attraction like Hogan.

This whole storyline and HOF induction shows to me that Flair will most likely lose this year. Flair is getting up there in age. His body can't hold up for much longer. And with someone with Flair's caliber, there is no place to BUT Wrestlemania to go out at.

Getting up there in age? The guy is in his 60's. He's been up there for the past decade, maybe more. The guy is useless. People won't remember the great Ric Flair from the 70's and early 80's. They'll remember the balding, flabby Ric Flair of today. The Ric Flair who is a total embarrassment to himself, the fans and the company he works for.

I really hope that Gordon Solie does get into the Hall of fame. I saw a bunch of his shows on WWE 24/7 on Demand also he's the one who coined the phrase" HE'S DAWNED THE PROVERBIAL CRIMSON MASK!

So far there seems to be quite a lacklustre year as they're building the Hall of Fame around Ric Flair and The Rock's family so they can get the great one at the ceremony. Also Mae Young and Gerry Briscoe are both contracted to the company so they were easy choices and then they seem to have thrown Jack Briscoe in so they can be the tag team and finally Eddie Graham. I'm not saying that all of these people aren't deserving of our respect but apart from Flair there's No really whereas if you look at WM20-21 you had Hogan, Piper, Harley Race, Tito Santana, Big John Studd, Heenan, Paul Orndorff, Jimmy Hart and more. I wouldn't be surpsised if the final inductee was a celebrity and more likely a boxer as they've got Mayweather Vs Big Show, Joe Frazier is the most likely candidate but they've got enough boxers who've worked with them over the year or the other option is Mr. T who worked a boxing match at WM2.
I'm guessing the Big Names are being inducted at the 25th WM which is kind of the anniversary. Here I bet we'll see Randy Savage, Ricky Steamboat, Ted Diabse, Bob Backlund and possibly a posthumous entry for Owen Hart.

 

[Total Impact]

I think this has to be the the worst class of WWE hall of fame ever as no one on the list had made their true mark in the WWE. The Brisco's NWA Florida, Mae Young Around the world, Eddie Graham Florida and didn't he kill himself?, Gordon Solie NWA Georgia, Florida, WCW, Peter Mavia NWA San Fransico, Rocky Johnson Memphis, Florida, Ric Flair NWA & WCW. I think this year's class is the worst and that the WWE couldn't put some of its greats in as they are all dead or on bad terms with the WWE. I mean if we wanted to see some of the greats in the Hall of fame from the WWE era, it would sad as it would be like being at a funeral.

 

[ATTITUDEERA4EVER]

It was great seeing the Rock come back, saying all of his catchphrases, and making fun of coach, cena, and santino (finally). I got goosebumps when he did his peoples elbow taunt, when the people were chanting "1 more match".

I just don't know why orton looked so pissed off?

 

[kenvin100]

Orton was prolly in character..but there were lots of ppl attacking the rock..or making fun of him i guess lol

from ric flair, to dusty rhodes, to triple h lol..The Dwayne!

The only thing I wish is to see the whole ceremony, From Start To Finish..no cuts! I wanna see Flair jab Hogan and say AUSTIN is the best lol


and to the guy who thinks Benoit will be in the HOF..I highly doubt that'll ever happen, WWE avoided the whole Benoit scenario and is still trying to clear Benoit completely!

 

[twiztid_lestat]

Its insane, I was in tears during flairs speech. Young kids that only know the attitude era have NO IDEA what they missed with Ric Flair. He is a LEGEND.

This is insane, I swear I cant believe that hes gone.

Flair eclipsed Hogan in EVERY way. And I cant wait to see him go against HBK, A classic in waiting.

By the way. The Rock, ONE MORE MATCH. Austin/Rock V at wrestlemania 25!11

 

[kenvin100]

hmm Ya I would like that: Austin-ROCK IV..hey may they can go up to 5 and release the Rock-Austin Series (jokes)

Interesting to see that the Rock would like to face HBK, Mysterio, and...CENA??? I get ROCK/HBK, I wanna see that. I know Mysterio is heavily underrated for his work! But Cena? He has the physique but that's all he's had. I know the Rock ain't the best wrestler but at least he's got microphone skills to back him up..but Cena doesnt have that?

 

[gnr_801]

If i remember correctly, the rock himself said he would never wrestle michaels...mmm.
Anyways, it was great to see the great one return, even if it was for just one night only.

 

[kenvin100]

Well apparantly, his part was long and they cut that part out. I read the parts that were not televisised..lots of shots against the Rock. Rock prolly didnt care since he's making a heck of a lot more money making crummy movies, then oh I dont know a 60 year old man take a terrible fall from a ladder..WWE may have fake story lines, and planned out moves, but golly those stunts hurt! As Brock Lesnar states: "The ring isn't a California king sized bed." These guys take terrible bumps all year with no break. Rock can star in Doom and make a good million out of it. Funny how Flair said Cena will never leave for Hollywood, makes sense cause I honestly dont believe Hollywood wants him!

If these guys were given an option to go for Hollywood, and NO I dont mean these crappy WWE movies, they will leave in a day! Guaranteed! Its common sense. Its not like I'm saying the Rock will win an Oscar but he's doing much better right now, even if his movies barely beat the crap WWE comes up with
