The Rock and Undertaker are bigger names than Batista, although it seems like neither of them (The Rock especially) want to go in yet.

 

[TheFuture]

I can't see any WWE centric "musts" right now that should headline outside of Rock and Taker. Maybe Trips and Brock if they wanted to go in now.

I think the attitude era leaders are more or less covered. It's just weird to me that a guy who broke out at the same time as Orton and Cena would be headlining a HOF. A sign if ever there was one that I'm getting old.

They really don't have any other options if the Rock and Taker don't want to go in yet.

But here's the interesting debate, who goes in first? The Rock or The Undertaker? Who you guys think should go in first?

 

[Dr. Evil]

Why the Undertaker should go into the WWE Hall of Fame before the Rock:

Longevity: Taker has been in the WWE since 1990. He never left the WWE for WCW or for any other promotion or even another line of work. He's had some very iconic moments and has won virtually every title in the WWE during his 27 years in the company. Out of all of the top guys in the Attitude Era, he's outlasted all of them in the WWE. While guys like Austin, HBK and Foley are enjoying retirement and the Rock is out making 1,000 movies, he was still going. IMO, he was one the top five guys in the Attitude Era (along with Austin, Rock, Triple H and Foley) and he was still wrestling as of WrestleMania 33.

The Streak: Until Brock Lesnar broke the streak, he went on an impressive undefeated streak at WM that will never be broken nor will it ever come close to being broken. That also plays a factor into his longevity. Sure some of the matches during the streak sucked, but it's a streak that will never be repeated ever again.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Why the Rock should go into the WWE Hall of Fame before the Undertaker:

His rise in the WWE: When he started out as Rocky Maivia, people hated him in the same way they do with Roman Reigns. There were "Die Rocky Die" and "Rocky Sucks" chants. Those chants though became one of the best things to ever happen to both him and the WWE. He got injured and was repacked when he joined the Nation of Domination. The fans still booed him, but soon those boos became cheers as he became "too cool" to be booed and the rest is history. He had the insane charisma to draw in the fans. When he became The Rock, a new star was born. His legendary rivalry with Stone Cold Steve Austin was one of the reasons the WWE won the Monday Night Wars. His tag team with Mick Foley was one of the fun moments of the Attitude Era. Sure his last run in the WWE wasn't that great, but to me it did not taint his overall body of work.

Mainstream Star: This is obvious. With other wrestling promotions trying to take advantage of WM weekend, announcing the Rock as the 2018 WWE Hall of Fame Headliner (or as the headliner in any other year) garners mainstream attention. Normally when WWE tries to get mainstream attention, it smells of desperation. Not so if the Rock goes into the WWE Hall of Fame. I have no idea if The Rock in the WWE Hall of Fame will detract from all of the other promotions from having their events because there will be a lot of people at WM weekend just there to see The Rock into the WWE Hall of Fame.

So who do you guys want to see go into the WWE Hall of Fame first? Undertaker or the Rock?

I'd prefer Taker as logically it's his time. Rock can go in whenever he wants. Right now makes the most sense for Taker.

Yeah, I'd prefer Taker at this point too. I don't see the Rock going in until WrestleMania goes back to Los Angeles, to take advantage of the fact that Hollywood is already there. All I am saying is that he's a big enough name that could possibly be inducted ahead of Taker.

So which Uso is married to Naomi? And why is it so difficult to tell them a part?

I think in order to tell them apart, you first have to give a ****.

 

[Dugath]

Not a fan of Nikki by a long shot, but wow those pictures do not do her any justice her face makes her look 45+ . The lighting is all wrong.


Does not help that Alexa is there to compare to.

"Now, it’s being reported that WWE officials are deliberately booking Sasha poorly to keep her momentum at bay while the powers that be push Alexa Bliss or Nia Jax. There is a lot of criticism going around about how WWE officials are booking their babyfaces on Raw, especially in the Women’s Division. However, the recent title loss for The Boss could be part of the plan for a major heel turn while Nia Jax turns babyface."

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

 

[RetroNaz]

Nia Jax is close to X-Pac heat with me. A channel changer.

 

[Loki882]

That's incredibly stupid if true.

That would explain her most recent title loss...but what about the 4 before that?

I honestly dont want to think too much about the whole booking and the reason for it...its bad and that is enough.

Its so god damn stupid to book against the fans, against that what the fans want...and then they wonder why they lose money, why the ratings fall, why people are upset with them etc.

But i guess Vince doesnt want to swim in money that happy fans would throw at him.

Nia Jax is close to X-Pac heat with me. A channel changer.

Really? I mean yeah she is not good in the ring...but x-pac heat...really?
Its not like she is a ******* like x-pac.
But i cant blame you, Jax is something like the final straw in a huge pile of wwe related things that make one really annoyed at them.

I kind of eased on her especially since i found myself following her on Twitter(yeah im currently have so much freaking free time that i follow wrestlers on twitter XD)she seems like a nice person.

In regards to the rumors of Batista headlining the WWE Hall of Fame next year:

- I wonder if the rumors have anything to do with Batista being in a huge summer blockbuster coming out a month later?

If they want Jax to go over as a face, they should consider bringing in one of the bigger wrestlers from the Mae Young Classic. You really need a big heel for a monster face to defeat, and the Raw roster is really undersized compared to Nia.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

I don't know why they don't just turn Alexa babyface already? I mean they clearly see a bigger upside with her than they do with Sasha or Bayley, or else they wouldn't keep putting her over them. They don't know how to book Sasha or Bayley's characters properly because at the end of the day they don't believe that much in them. They don't "get" them. That is why they are booked so badly, I feel.
