WWE Hall Of Fame 2012 Predictions


I know it is almost a year away but I am going to try and predict what next years WWE Hall Of Fame class will be. this is going to be a long post so grab your gatorade. I have broken it down into 4 categories; headliners, divas, celebrity, and other wrestlers. The reasoning for the categories is there always is one headliner and now it is being reported that the WWE will add one diva and one celebrity every year. I am going to add what percentage chance i think the inductee has.

Headliners

The Rock- With him being in Miami already for Wrestlemania this one is almost a no brainer. There are very few wrestlers that are more deserving than The Rock. With him being a movie star it brings that extra crowd that Vince McMahon craves for Wrestlemania. 95% chance

Rey Mysterio/Triple H/Undertaker- If any of these 3 decide to retire before or at Wrestlemania next year they would be a suitable replacement for The Rock if for whatever reason he doesn't go in. 10% chance that one of these wrestlers go in (would be higher if I wasn't so sure The Rock wasn't headlining)

Randy "Macho Man" Savage- This one is an extreme long shot. The only way I see this happening is if all of the guys I mentioned above are not inducted and Vince McMahon can not find another person With a big enough name to be the headliner. 1% chance


Divas

Trish Stratus- With Tirsh working more with the WWE lately this selection looks like almost as big of a lock as The Rock. Her cause would be seriously helped by Tough Enough getting big ratings. 75% chance

Stacy Keibler- Stacy is helped by the fact that she has had success outside of the WWE. 15% chance

Lita- I don't see her going in ahead of the 2 ladies I mentioned above, however scheduling may make her a viable option. She is hampered by being so closely tied to the Hardy's, who didn't leave the WWE on the best of terms and both currently work for TNA. 5% chance

Sable- This is another long shot. The only reason she would get in is if Vince somehow convinces Dana White to let him use Brock Lesner for Wrestlemania and Vince decides to do this as a favor to Brock. 3% chance


Celebrities

Donald Trump- If anyone deserves to be in the celebrity wing it is Donald trump. He has been involved with the WWE for around 25 years. He is reportedly going to make a run at the presidency next year and may use this chance to get WWE fans to vote for him. 80% chance

Motorhead- Ok I admit this one may be wishful thinking, but they have played live at Wrestlemania twice and made one of the most memorable theme songs in WWE history so it isn't totally based on me being a fan. 10% chance

Pee Wee Herman/Ozzy Osbourne/Pamela Anderson/William Shatner/Snoop Dogg- In all actuality this category may be the hardest to pick. It is anyones guess one who they actually decide to induct here. I have chose these 5 based on the fact that they have made several appearances with the WWE over the years. 10% chance one of these celebs go in


Other Wrestlers

Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard- This could easily be just an induction for Double A, however I personally think Tully is deserving of the honor as well and I think his best bet to make it is as part of this team. 75% chance

Scott Hall- His induction all hinges on his ability to stay sober and out of trouble until the event. The fact that the WWE likes to put wrestlers with ties to the state that Wrestlemania is in helps his chances to go in next year. 60% chance

Chris Jericho- If Y2J decides that his wrestling career is over and he focuses on his music and tv career he would be an obvious choice for the hall of fame. 50% chance

Booker T- A solid run as Smackdown commentator and coach on Tough Enough should make him an easy choice for induction. Now can you dig that sucka? 50% chance

"Ravishing" Rick Rude- To me it is kind of shocking that he hasn't been put in as of yet. He had an outstanding career and was a top heel during one of wrestlings boom periods. 40% chance

Barry Windham- A very good wrestler who is deserving of this honor. His chances are helped by his lineage and ties to the state of Florida. 35% chance

Dean Malenko- One of the top cruiserweights of all time. Malenko is another wrestler with Florida ties who would be deserving of going into the hall of fame. He works with the WWE in a backstage role and that has seemed to help other wrestlers get in. 25% chance

Lex Luger- Along the lines of Savage and Sable, Luger is a long shot to make it. He is a wrestler that seems to have all the credentials to get in, but he has had issues in the past with Vince McMahon. Luger was reportedly at some events during Wrestlemania week so maybe his chances are improving. 10% chance

Jake "The Snake" Roberts- Much like Scott Hall if Roberts could stay sober for a sustained amount of time he would be a lock for the hall of fame. 10% chance

King Kong Bundy/Bam Bam Bigelow/Vader/Yokozuna/Kamala/Big Boss Man/One Man Gang/Earthquake- It has been well documented that Vince McMahon loves the bigger wrestlers, so any of these behemoths would be a good choice to fill out the roster of wrestlers going in next year. 5% chance that 1 or more of these wrestlers go in
