Dean Malenko would be awesome, didn't expect him to be inducted though, but if there's talks about it, it might just happen. Here's hoping.

[ArJay]

If Dean Malenko gets in Chris Jericho HAS to induct him. (Assuming he's back by WM.)
Smartmark don't even bother and respond to this please haha.

[Smartmark]

^^ What's that suppose to mean?

I'm still hoping for Chris Benoit to be inducted by William Regal. I would cry as fu**

[Travicity]

Not gonna happen ^

But actually what about William Regal? Would be cool if Danielson inducted him :think:.

Could say Jericho but he's probably going to be wrestling for quite a while yet.

[Smartmark]

I never thought of it before you said it. William Regal would be a good inductee actually

[Travicity]

Hmm yes he's done a bit and in WCW. If they're going with that he could be good Lol and this might be more rassler wrestling slammies this year.

World Wrestling Entertainment issued the following press release today touting the ticket sales for the WWE Hall of Fame this Saturday and Shawn Michaels being named to the Hall as the 2011 headline induction:

SHAWN MICHAELS TO ENTER WWE HALL OF FAME

World Wrestling Entertainment® announced today that one of the greatest Superstars to ever perform for WWE, “The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels, will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. The induction ceremony will take place on Saturday, April 2 at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, GA, the evening before WrestleMania® XXVII.

“Shawn Michaels was the best in-ring performer in the history of WWE,” said Vince McMahon, Chairman and CEO.

Shawn Michaels had one of the most storied careers in the annals of World Wrestling Entertainment. He held every major championship over his 23 year career with the sports entertainment company. In addition to his “HBK” moniker and as one half of “D-Generation X®,”

Michaels earned the nickname “Mr. WrestleMania” due to his numerous memorable matches at the annual, pop culture extravaganza. Fittingly, Michaels’ final match took place last March at WrestleMania XXVI, losing to The Undertaker® in an epic match where he put his career on the line.
