2012 WWE Hall of Fame Inductees

[key2win]

Today they announced the first inductees into the 2012 WWE Hall of Fame. As WWE announces more names, I will update this thread.


Edge - I am actually surprised they didnt save him for 2013 in Canada. I would have thought The Rock would be the main headliner this year. Edge had a great career that was unfortunately cut short due to injuries. He was one of my favorite wrestlers and played both the face and heel role well.

The Four Horsemen - One of the greatest wrestling stables ever assembled. The group started out in the NWA/WCW and has had many members. The five inductees into the WWE Hall of Fame will be Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Barry Windham, and J.J. Dillon. I am curious how they are going to do this with Ric Flair contracted to TNA. Ole Anderson is noticeably absent as he has issues with Vince McMahon.

Mil Mascaras - A Lucha Libre legend that has never been unmasked. He is the uncle of Alberto Del Rio.

VERY suprised that EDGE is getign in this year... I thought maybe the WWE would wait until next year or the next year when Wrestlemania goes back to Toronto....


4 Horsemen is a no brainer, BUT it's sad that Arn Anderson wasn't in already on his own...

Macho Man getting in would be AMAZING.... I hope the WWE honors him with an induction

Does anyone have a list or link of people who are already in the Wrestling Hall of Fame?

4 horsemen and Ric Flair won't even be there....

The rest of the 4 Horsemen will be present. I doubt Flair will be there, unless his TNA contract is up before that time.

Saw this online. Interesting that TNA would allow this. I wonder if they even know Flair said this. LOL!

Ric Flair told fans during an autograph appearance Thursday at a Walmart in Burlington, North Carolina that he will be "on stage" for WWE's Hall of Fame induction ceremony WrestleMania weekend (March 31, 2012). Flair, who is under contract to TNA Wrestling, was advertised by WWE this week as one of the Four Horsemen to be inducted at the ceremony.
