AtariLegend Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 JacquelineThe GodfatherRegis PhilbinHad to google who Regis was, not sure about his connection to wrestling.Godfather however? I know maybe Subtle will defend it, but is he really Hall of Fame material? He was a random mid carder who changed gimmick several times throughout his career. I guess it gives hope to Damien Sandow.I can only assume Jacqueline was chosen because she's black. Jacky was as relevant to the women's division in the attitude era as Alicia Fox was to the current era, except Alicia got a bigger push. Most memorable thing about her run was wardrobe malfunctions .

Jacky was as relevant to the women's division in the attitude era as Alicia Fox was to the current era, except Alicia got a bigger push. Most memorable thing about her run was wardrobe malfunctions .Regis was guest host of Raw during that terrible era, and had a reasonably significant role in Wrestlemania VII. Still, I'd expect to see Lemmy get the nod in there.As for Godfather, I think he deserves it. The problem is, with inducted 7+ people every year, they're fast running out of people to induct and may have to stoop a bit lower. That said, Godfather fits the bill perfectly well, in the same way I wasn't surprised to see Rikishi get in. As someone who portrayed Papa Shango, Kama Mustafa, The Godfather, in addition to being a member of Nation of Domination and Right To Censor, I don't see any issue with him being the lower-end inductee. As for Jacqueline, two time champion and gave some credibility to women's wrestling at the time when it was started to move into the diva era. Plus, boobs. And there's the APA link, and she's the woman that needs to go in each year, and she's black so we can tick that as well There are certainly worse inductees, she fits the bill. The way things are going though, because of the way WWE works this Hall Of Fame, you'd expect to see half the roster go in. That's a problem itself, but based on their model, I don't think the inductees are all that surprising or offensive.Except Philbin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 You think they'd be crazy enough to have Strowman win the Rumble (still by Trips screwing Reigns) and go with Trips-Reigns and then end on Braun-Brock for the title? Hell, Braun could even retain due to interference of the Wyatt family without making Brock look too weak. It's a long shot, but from what I've heard Vince is pretty much micro-managing Strowman's booking and he's big on the guy. Still though, where does having Braun as a top guy leave the Wyatt family as a stable? Bray-Braun feud post-mania? I also still want Bryan-Styles. Maybe we can have the Bullet Club (with Balor? Dare to dream...) interfere and start a feud with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacardimayne Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Triple H faces an upward challenge keeping Chyna out of the HOF now. Don't see why. All he's got to do is (rightfully) remove Sunny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLegend Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) They removed Hogan?Unless I missed it, they never removed him. Just removed references to him. Only Hogan claims he was removed, but everyone knows he'll be rehired. It'd be ridiculous to re-induct him.Snucka was definitely removed though, they made a statement on that.No Bryan tonight, however will the crowd accept Roman Reigns going over an hour or Triple H winning without shitting on the match like the past two years? Have they learned their lesson? I doubt it. Edited January 24, 2016 by AtariLegend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Seth Rollins to win the Rumble.Nah. Calling it now. Imo, the worst possible option is to have Trips win and then face Reigns at Mania for the re-match. So that's what they're going with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Remember what has happened in the past 2 Royal Rumbles.If Reigns wins and the crowd repeats history again, they only have themselves to blame. If Reigns wins and the crowd is happy, I'm too old and bitter (27) to be watching this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luciusfunk Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 My biggest problem with this Rumble is even if Roman loses, he'll be in it until the end and he's number one. Have him enter number one and be eliminated before number 10 comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo, the worst possible option is to have Trips win and then face Reigns at Mania for the re-match. So that's what they're going with. I mean, yeah. But I will absolutely die if the Rollins injury was somewhat worked (as in the severity of it), think my heart would explode if he came out. 99.9999% not happening though. We're all expecting HHH to come out at 30 (or even 31) and win, but I think as far as WWE is concerned that's the swerve. To be honest, I'd like to see some exciting entrants as much as anything else, because I think they're pretty much set on that terrible ending. Or even worse, Reigns wins from #1. If Reigns/HHH aren't winning, then I hope Reigns isn't eliminated last, as it'll make the final few really cool if you know there's going to be a new champion.

Hell, I'd love Rollins coming out and winning. Or Byan or Styles for that matter. Any of that would be absolutely awesome. Which is why it won't happen, sadly. They're missing an opportunity of having Lesnar be 1 or 2, then suplexing 29 people for an hour.They're saving that for the diva's match. Lesner is going to do a run-in and suplex Becky, Charlotte and Ric 10 times each and take the belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't possibly imagine it.I was going to make a joke about them frantically sending out Test, Trish, and Albert, then remembered Test is dead Fuck it, just use Big Cass. In reality though, I'd expect an awful of NXT chants, but not any TNA chants. Mostly because it's dreadful. I hope Lesnar comes out early and Heyman sits on commentary for most of the match.
