Ladies and gentlemen, the following public service message is brought to you by your friends from D-Generation X, who would like to remind each and every one of you that if you're not down with that, we've got two words for you...
Originally posted by Matt TrackerTerry Funk gives the speech, right? Maybe Hunter?
Rock would be the obvious choice, followed by Funk.
smark/net attack Advisory System Status is: Elevated (Holds; June 18, 2006) While the switch from Cena to RVD should alleviate some complaints, the inevitability of the belt's return to Cena (note where Summerslam is this year) and the poor initial showing by the new ECW are enough to keep the indicator where it is for now. The pieces are in place, though, especially on RAW, for improvements to be made to the IWC's psyche in the near future.
Foley in a interview said he'd like either Jim Ross or Terry Funk to induct him. I was hoping either Norman the Lunatic, Skandar Akbar or Max Andrews might induct him, but they might all be dead.

Andrews MIGHT be alive (I'm not finding any info either way), but Norman and Akbar are gone.
Originally posted by SchippeWreckUndertaker would also be a fine choice. Does he do induction speeches?
Undertaker, to my knowledge, still doesn't attend the HOF ceremonies in order to preserve his 'mystique.' Didn't really make sense to me given that anyone who's enough of a hardcore fan to watch the HOF ceremonies knows he isn't actually a living zombie.
I'm actually really surprised that Mick hasn't been inducted already.
He did spend some time in TNA, or else he probably would've gotten in a few years ago. Frankly, given that Foley gets to be the headline inductee* at his home arena, I don't think he could've asked for a better situation to go into the Hall.

Undertaker does attend, but he stays backstage and never sits in the audience or go onstage. Until the day comes he's inducted.

HE'S NOT?!?! Thank you for ruining my childhood!
Foley is, obviously, a well-earned choice. Usually I'd say he would be the cream of the crop, but doesn't WWE historically save the biggest one for last?

We don't really have threads for any other years (or they're not marked with the icon). So it would seem like they've been doing it like this for a while.

Huh. My bad.
King Kong Bundy is quite a worthy addition, too. Main-evented WrestleMania 2 against Hogan; was part of Undertaker's WrestleMania streak. Both were terrible matches, but what can you do?

Now to be fair; turning Sting on HOGAN of all people was the most ill-conceived, idiotic, short-sighted, mentally challenged decision they could have made if they wanted a heel run.
