Triple H has been pushing for him so wouldn't be surprised. Never saw much of his work except for a couple of JCW shows he did well past his prime..... only heard a lotta crazy stories lol
I would expect WWE to start announcing names soon. No point in waiting until after Elimination Chamber.
Is it just me or are the WWE not really adding any people to the HOF this year. Why add Shawn Michaels all those weeks ago, was it because he was in town lol. I find it all very strange.
ya they used to add one a week to the list
I can't wait to find out who the rest of the guys are that the WWE are going to be inducting into the HOF...Abdullah the Butcher totally deserves to be in the HOF
As Devin Cutting sent along late last night, The WWE Hall of Fame highlight special will not air on the USA Network until the day after Wrestlemania 27, Monday 4/4 at 8 PM.
This is a major positive for fans attending the ceremonies on Saturday 4/2 as the event will not longer be forced to curtail inductions and acceptance speeches in order to insure that WWE's production team can have the one hour broadcast edited and completed in time for a broadcast the same evening.
In recent years, the editing to the special has caused speeches to be edited down to basically nothing during broadcasts (Bret Hart in 2006) and for speeches to be stopped before the speaker was finished (Ric Flair in 2008) in order to film the closing "confetti raining down" moments of the ceremony.
In 2009, the company instituted strict time restrictions for both those inducting Hall of Famers and for those accepting their honors. While this allowed for a shorter run time of the show for the production team, it also forced wrestlers who had worked for decades to attempt to shrink their entire body of work into a short five minute speech. Doing so really hurt the heart and soul of the event and made it far less memorable and emotional in many cases.
The change in plans to air the Hall will provide the company with the best of both worlds - having a longer, special evening for those in attendance (and something more substantial to accentuate the Wrestlemania DVD set) as well as providing the company's TV Production team more leeway to edit the festivities down into a one hour version of the ceremony.
Let's hope this is a new standard for the event, which has been one of the best nights of the year in the past.

agreed. Seems strange, but probably just had to do with Shawn being in town for it already.Quote:

As previously reported in the PWInsider.com Elite section, Tammy "Sunny" Sytch will be part of the Class while Hacksaw Duggan has also been strongly discussed. We've heard from one source Duggan is confirmed but haven't been able to double source that.
Other names that we've heard mentioned are Abdullah the Butcher (although there was talk a week ago about inducting him in Miami due to his Florida run) and Bullet Bob Armstrong. I know there are sources close to the Armstrong family who have passed on that Armstrong is scheduled but we haven't heard that from any of our usual WWE sources.
So, we'll see who gets announced starting tonight.

Hacksaw Duggan, who will be inducted by ted DiBiase Sr.
