Who's left that deserves to go into the Hall of Fame?

as Chyna's apparently a no (can't ever see it with HHH & Stephanie in charge)

 

It's not just that. Anyone that runs the company would not want her going in, because they wouldn't want the kids Googling her and finding out about her porn films or seeing her drunken meltdowns on YouTube (Hunter hinted at this in his interview with Austin after the Rumble). And if she got inducted, you have to invite her to the ceremony, and give her a mic. That's too big a risk to take.

As far as headliners:

 

Undertaker

The Rock

Sting

Triple H

John Cena

Jeff Hardy

CM Punk

Daniel Bryan

Batista

Kurt Angle

Chris Jericho

Randy Orton

Rey Mysterio

Brock Lesnar

Vince McMahon

 

It's just next year that's the problem, unless Bryan is forced into retirement between now and then. For the biggest WrestleMania ever, they need to have a great Hall of Fame lineup... And all the potential headliners are still active enough in wrestling that they don't seem likely to get the nod.

Demolition

 

Should go in, but won't. Ax tried to sue the company after he left, so I can't see them extending that olive branch. It's not like they'd have high hopes of shifting new merchandise like they did with Warrior.

 

 

I don't know..

 

I think it depends on just how desperate they get for inductees. Demolition are a reasonably big name, if not one that's been well remembered. If they'll extend the olive branch to the likes of Wendi Richter and Madusa, I could see them wanting Demolition.

 

Whether they'll be willing to meet Eadie's price is another question.

 

Is there any chance Sabu may ever go in? I know he didn't spend much time in the WWE, although he did feud with Cena when he was there. I was just thinking he is thought of as an innovator in the business and farely well respected amongst his peers. Not expecting it to happen, but stranger things have happened.

 

EDIT: The more I think about it the more I'm laughing and thinking how ridiculous my own suggestion is, but like I said... You never know.

 

I think he's a decent shout actually. They need more inductees and, whether he really "deserves" it or not, there's enough of an argument that for them to justify sticking him in. Heyman inducting him would be good TV also.

 

If he keeps his head together, I think Kurt Angle will be a certainty when he's done with TNA.

It most likely won't happen but I'd love to see Ken Shamrock go in, how's his relationship with the WWE been all these years?

 

Not great. If I remember right, he's practically been begging them to take him back and can't understand why they won't.

Liger Chono or Muta must be up there for international names to go in. Vader, Luger ( is there still bad blood about the Liz stuff?). Miss Elizabeth for the women's pick. Are the rock n roll express in?

 

Magnum, Sid, Regal, Bulldog, Charles Wright and his million gimmicks. Earthquake ( actually anyone that hasn't died or been arrested for anything too bad from the early 90s boom is guaranteed a place)

Neither can I to be honest. A bit of "proper" bodybuilding gym work and he'd be ready to rock n' roll before too long.

Do you think Bill's got enough in the bank to negotiate with them? I don't. If he's still doing the odd nostalgia match with Smash in community centres (and he is) he'll take their first offer and be grateful.

Muta is the best shout from the three Japanese you mention because he had huge exposure in the States first in the run with Flair and Sting and then later he was fleetingly part of the nWo stateside as well as being a member of the nWo Japan. Liger also has a good shout as WCW featured him heavily both in the first Light Heavyweight division and then occasional appearances in the mid 90s, including the first Nitro. You've got two guys there that had an impact in WCW as well as being huge names at home. Chono wasn't as much of a big deal in WCW, but in Japanese stakes he's up there with the likes of Fujinami in terms of how revered he is in his homeland. As they continue to recognize guys that made a serious impression outside their own bubble, "Mr August" is a name that I wouldn't have thought of but actually would be in with a decent chance.

 

Of the others, the Rock N Rolls definitely need to go in, they were one half of the biggest tag team feud in NWA history and for me a real rival to the Von Erichs/Freebirds for the best example ever of a tag team feud. Vader also as the "best big man ever" surely should go in. Luger might go in, he's on good terms and was a talking head in several recent features.

 

As I've mentioned before, Liz won't go in. They wouldn't particularly enjoy skirting around the circumstances of her death and I don't imagine her family would be particularly thrilled with her being inducted into a Hall Of Fame by the industry that indirectly killed her.

As they have inducted teams I would imagine eventually you'll see the Dudley's and Hardy's in their. In the more immediate futureEdge and Christian.

 

Can't remember if he's in or not but JBL as a Texan would be worth a shout for next years HoF
