2021 WWE Hall of Fame Thread- RVD just announced
So far your 2021 class is
RVD Molly Kane The Great Khali William Shatner announced for 2020 class |
Nice, I wonder if they are going to do anything in place of the HOF ceremony, and if the 2020 class is going to be included.

Deserving. Carried a lot of people just like Beth Phoenix
|
Finally something that shouldn't start an argument or war in here. Great news indeed!
|
i love her work but...lol.

Anyone remember BDC having a huge crush on Beth Phoenix?
|
What’s the female equivalent of “Well if Koko B Ware got in...”?
|
Molly was great though. Big fan. Probably not Hall of Fame worthy but wrestling is stupid and meaningless and who the fuck cares
|
I bet Christian was on the slate to be inducted.
|
That’s a tough one. Christie Hemme?

Where did that come from?
|
the womens wing is meaningless in a hall tha already had little meaning. requiring a female entry annually guarantees everyone gets in.

Brie Bella got really good by the time she was done. The Bellas are way more deserving than Torrie

Nikki had a fantastic ass and I liked the fake tig ‘ol bitties
|
Female wrestling lacks Gail Kim

Quote:
Nikki got better in the ring but mostly because she benefited from the same routine almost every woman in the division got when they were champs during the Divas Era. WWE barely gave their women's division any quality screen time but when they did, usually the champ hogged it up the most and would start to show some real improvements after a while. Her having that very long title reign because WWE wanted to scrub out AJ Lee from owning a WWE record over petty reasons just enhanced her ability to really improve as a wrestler. Both were still god awful when it came to promos though. |
Apparently the classes of 2020 and 2021 are going in the same day. Gonna be a long ceremony, though I'd bet the class of 2021 is smaller and has no true "headliner" since 2020 headliner Batista will close out the entire event.

My bad, it was Nikki who got really good |
Nikki is no Nicky Chance that's for sure

The next two inductees for the WWE Hall of Fame are:
Per The Bump
BY GOD IT'S KANE! And per WWE Now India The Great Khali |
Khali.....lol He'll be about the first inductee to make the Iron Sheik seem coherent in his speech. Hope they have subtitles on standby.
|
Quote:
|
A guy whose whole gimmick revolved around fire yet was often used as a wet blanket, and the most immobile WWE Champion of all time.
Of the two, I would argue that Khali is actually more deserving. Sure, Kane was around forever, but Khali opened up a market that didn't exist for WWE. A market that is STILL making them a great deal of money. |
Kane going in is the best.
|
Khali is good too (in that he 100p deserves it), but Kane is my favorite rassler ever
|
good thing bats opted out. this is a big 2 classes of big names going in.
|
I hope this means Taker goes in. I can't see Kane being inducted before Undertaker

yeah they will wait till live crowds to do taker

I will add to my statement. How many wrestlers can say that they brought professional wrestling to their home country? How many wrestlers can say that they were in mainstream movies? How many wrestlers had a freak show appeal that made people watch just because... holy fuck, look at that guy!?
Now, how many wrestlers can say all three of those things? Very very few. And Great Khali is one of them. |

The next inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame is
Per Fox Sports:
Rob Van Dam |
Most overrated dude in history

Christian? :shifty::shifty::shifty: |
rvd got some of the biggest pops and was hugely instrumental in inspiring a new generation of wrestlers to horribly emulate him
|
Gotta give him props for doing a few years of work, being in the right place at the right time, and then just being happy with coasting on that rep for 20 years
|
I am a fan of RVD, so this is good in my book.
But if you've seen one of his matches, you've seen them all. Credit to him being able to make money doing in for decades, though. |
I still think of RVD as a young go-getter at times, when he is actually 50, older than Edge and Christian and only a month younger than Jericho.
|
I merged all the Hall of Fame threads into one. Figured it'd be easier.
|
RVD v Taz feud still fucking great.
|
Titus O"Neil. Has got to take the award for worst wrestler in WWE HOF. SHAKING MY STUPID HEAD
|
So long as he brings his girlfriend's girlfriend along to the ceremony, I approve of this.
|
He's getting the Warrior Award. Titus does a ton of PR shit for the company so I get it. Seems like a great guy. Good for him.

All I remember about Molly Holly is thinking she's got some really high forehead, which made her look balding. I see she's got a fringe now. Good call.
|
William Shatner announced for the 2020 class for whatever reason

i hope hulk calls titus his favorite brother warrior father, dude
|
hope this is a good show
|
I forgot all about Syxx going in with the nWo lol
|
damn apa did the beer money 1st
|
JBL is the best
|
he was a great heel on smackdown
|
that speech should have been 10 mins longer
|
nikki cross sighting

Legacy Wing of 2020:
Baron Michele Leone Brickhouse Brown “Dr. Death” Steve Williams Gary Hart Ray Stevens |
Quote:
|
They made all the wrestlers dress all fancy like they were going to the actual Hall of Fame ceremony to do the “red carpet interviews” even though the speeches are clearly being done in front of nobody.
Kinda awkward. |
Lmao Brickhouse Brown. They've officially run out of black wrestlers to induct.
Next year they'll probably induct Akeem |
Darren Young is going in someday
|
Nothing against Waltman but him being shoehorned into this nWo induction just doesn’t feel right.
Friggin Vincent was a bigger part of the nWo than Syxx. |
Quote:
|
Waltman’s 2nd induction could’ve been him going in on his own as a beloved midcarder, didn’t need to go in here.
|
Quote:
|
Legacy wing pretty much turned into “wrestlers that passed away we don’t want to do a full induction for”
|
Quote:
I think Vince just makes this shit up on the fly :rofl: |
why did they replace lawler
|
this speech should be good
|
ozzy keeps it short
|
2021 legacy wing:
Buzz Sawyer Dick the Bruiser Ethel Johnson Paul Boesch Pez Whatley |
Quote:
|
easy e
|
I know his biggest contribution was all the behind the scenes stuff but my god Bischoff was such a great on-screen performer
|

seth with another crap suit

Oh. He’s being inducted this year apparently.
Well, there you go. |
They BETTER use his TNA theme.
That is single handedly the best wrestling theme of all time. It clearly communicates in a succinct way as to who is coming to the ring, and what their wrestling moves are. |

JBL was so good. I think his run on top was exactly what they needed to make someone like John Cena, and he was arguably the last true main event heel that WWE ever had.
If you watch the way JBL behaved around Cena in their feud, and then compare it to Triple H once Cena jumped to RAW, JBL did everything he could to make Cena - he sold his arse off for him, looked terrified of fighting him, allowed himself to be belittled and beaten at every turn, because that's what it took to make a new main event babyface. Once Cena was on RAW, Triple H tried to act cooler than him, to diminish his shine, and generally act as if he was above putting him over. It's a shame that John Layfield the person is likely a piece of shit, because JBL the character had a ton to offer WWE that went unappreciated at the time - but then, I don't know if you'd get the character without the person. |
Layfield is JBL.
|
Ah, another case of "real personality turned to 100" but this time it actually worked.

Watching ‘86 World Championship Wrestling episodes and Pez just turned on Jimmy Valiant after Valiant called him the best black athlete in the world and Pez got pissed at the “black” part.
Some hilarious promos including a very serious Boogie Woogie Man comparing the betrayal to walking in on another man fucking his wife. |
