That Wasn't The Wrestling Thread, That Was CGI!

True point. If only they could see what we see, eh..

He's not going anywhere yet. Might as well just crawl into the fetal position and cry and wait for it to pass us by.

[NDX]

Stop teasing me 'E! I wanna see Bruno's video now!

Raw is Recaps!

Sammartino just personified wrestling for 20 years. People still mention him when talking about wrestling here as if he's still in the ring today. Throw in Stratus, the greatest modern day mainstream womens wrestler, and this is a hell of a HoF to watch.

Screw WrestleMania, I want to go to this!

This is definitely shaping up to be one of the best classes ever! Just the length of championships between Sammartino and Backlund alone...but adding in Foley and Trish? Impressive!

We'll see who else gets added, but for my money there are two leaders in the clubhouse at the moment.

The 2004 class: Big John Studd, the Magnificent Muraco, Greg Valentine, Harley Race, Jesse Ventura, the Junkyard Dog, Sgt. Slaughter, Superstar Billy Graham, Tito Santana, Bobby "the Brain" Heenan and Pete Rose.

And, the 2005 class: Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper, "Cowboy" Bob Orton, "the Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart, "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff, Nikolai Volkoff and the Iron Sheik.

It's hard to measure up to those two...but this year might end up being in the running!

[Benstamania]

My high school locker was dedicated to Trish. Emmmmm.

[Metallo]

All three choices have history with Punk...but I hope the (ugh) "WWE Universe" chooses Jericho.

[LOBO3315a]

Jericho should be Punk's opponent.

Remember when Santino wasn't a joke?

Remember when Jack THHHHWWAAAGGGEERRRR was taken seriously?

Ditto. We've waited long enough for this announcment.

BTW, I too shall miss seeing New York attacked by a 50 foot Ed Koch.

[Parker Wayne]

Patriot Act. I like the name.

Such an original submission.

[Benstamania]

Swagger looks "meaner" but it's still Swagger.

[The Sage]

That's a good look for Swagger. Doesn't look goofy. You can take him seriously.

He looks like Obie from Sons of Anarchy.

[OnTheAir]

Swagger looks better with the beard

[Parker Wayne]

When they start having WWE Main Event?

You know what would seal the deal for me as being the best ever HOF? Mr. T.

Koch just seemed like an awesome dude. I used to watch the NY1 Wiseguys just to hear what he had to say. He's also the reason I love court shows. His death, while not surprising, still hit hard.

[RKO]

Guys...I'm coming home.

[NDX]

I'm already home. I actually want to go out.

[Benstamania]

LOL @ Cody's shirt!

[Metallo]

I miss Ricardo. When did he become the kidnapped girlfriend in this hero vs villian battle again?

[Hunter Rider]

You could have heard someone fart when Del Rio came out.

[Pink Ranger]

Cody needs to work out some kind of sponsorship with Pringles.

I guess thats better than looking like Opie from the Andy Griffith Show.

[Hunter Rider]

Oh nooooooooooooooooo! don't give him the kiss ass "I've changed" promo.
