*Ask A Question About WWE* FACTUAL QUESTIONS ONLY!

[gkdanko]

This year’s HoF might be surprising for everyone. The WWE might be giving us what we’re looking for in terms of “who should be in already”. There is more buzz going on than ever. With numerous individuals with their predictions.

Antonio Inoki (inducted by Stan Hansen)
Way to go WWE. VKM is finally doing something worthwhile. I am under the impression that history will be re-written when his WWF Title Reign is acknowledged. This is something pro-wrestling enthusiasts have been griping about for years – the legitimacy of the Title.

Stu Hart (inducted by Bret Hart)
He's still listed as a nominee on numerous sites...even though VKM rescinded on the offer.

Ted DiBiase (inducted by ...)
He’s practically guaranteed into the HoF for 2010. A most well deserved induction.

Abdullah the Butcher
Sheik….move over. Your friend might be inducted alongside you this year. Once again, a lot of older fans have been asking about this one too.

Al Costello & Roy Heffernan
They question is, “Are the Fabulous Kangaroos the Greatest Tag Team of all time?” Is it time for us to say, “Move over LOD, Andersons, Crusher & Bruiser, Assasins, and British Bulldogs?”…the Roos are going in now.

Carlos Colon Sr
He would make a fine addition and probably a long shot. As long as Carlito and Primo are still wrestling for WWE, it’s a good possibility that Colon goes in this year.

Randy Savage or Ultimate Warrior
I don’t think both will go in –just one of them. Savage would be my first choice…and much over the Warrior.



Let me update my HoF 2011 picks too… [this year I believe might be an “Atlanta-GA” theme].

Animal & Hawk (Legion of Doom)
Jody Hamilton & Tom Renesto (Assasins)
Jake Roberts
Rick Rude
James Crockett Sr.

i dont think any hall of fame in wwe would be complete without savage and the warrior so im sure they'll go in at some point. the warrior won arguably the most famous match in wrestling history so he's gotta be in and savage is just an all round legend that would be a no brained were it not for his penchant for sticking his dick in heiresses

7 Single wrestlers and 1 Tag Team are suposed to be inducted this year....

It is under the impression that both members of the Tag Team are deceased. That's why I am speculating the tag team will either be: Al Costello & Roy Heffernan....or....Owen Hart & Davey Boy Smith. I'm still voting on the "roos".

Ted DiBiase Sr (might not) be the main event inductee....That's all I've heard. This might be a surprise for everyone. I've heard some grumbling regarding alleged inductees that are not settling well.

But guess what? I believe the fans have spoken VERY LOUD regarding who they want in the HoF this year.

I also believe that "history will be rewritten" with the formal acknowledgement of Antonio Inoki as a "former" WWF Champion.

[gkdanko]

5 of those names: Mikel Scicluna, Johnny Rodz, Bill Watts, Nick Bockwinkle and Pat Patterson are WWE Hall of Famers.

2 of those names: Bob Backlund and Stan Hansen will have been been inductors.

All of these men have one thing in common...

they "still" have ties to Bruno Sammartino.

By the WWE inducting Watts, the indiividual who speaks with Bruno on a regular basis...would this be enough to sway the "Living Legend" into the HoF in the very near future?

What would it take for Bruno to accept?

[gkdanko]

From time to time, we've all scratched our heads in disbelief regarding WWE Hall of Fame inductees.

I've been a follower of pro-wrestling since the early 1970's. As well as met around 250 wrestlers in my lifetime. And for the life of it, I'm still scratching my head with angst on who the WWE put in the HoF in recent years.

[Team Punishment]

its been explained for about the millionth time that Bruno does not want to enter the HOF

[gkdanko]

Bruno will be inducted after he passes away.

But never say never too lightly. Watts maybe the key to this induction.

[Gary]

Didn't you already get your own "official" HOF thread so you wouldn't need to post loads of threads on the topic?

[gkdanko]

I'm gonna go out on a limb on this one. If not next week, within a few weeks....

Carlos Colon Sr

My reason...to much face time for Primo Colon as of lately. Things are starting to add up.

And if they end up putting in Carlos....then we're more likely to see Abdullah the Butcher go in too.

[BOOG]

i occasionaly watch uwf and awa on espn classics. does wwe own the rights to that? just curoius

[The Situation]

^^^Yes they do, but ESPN owns the rights to those telecasts since they were originally broadcasted on that network I believe.

[4 Gold Scorpio]

^^^WWE doesn't own the UWF footage (and I doubt they want it anyways) but they do own the AWA footage & like you said, ESPN has the legal right to rerun the episodes since they were broadcasted on the network originally.

[Deep, Hard N Funky]

Something I've always wondered, if a wrestler goes from WWE to TNA, are they allowed to take their attire?
