he pretty much just sat around and let her die before finally calling 911.
they were both addicts at the time, but he's still a bitch for that.

Takers induction was pretty bad imo.

She had AI write this speech.

I don't think we've ever heard a roll throwing story. 
Taker definitely can't deny that's his daughter.
Other interesting set of seat assignments... Shinsake-Io-Dom-Liv-KO (I think i got that right)
Linda (likely arriving in Vegas via AF1) and family are there but it looks like Vince has been completely blacklisted from his own creation. What he's been accused of is disgusting but it's still sad to sees his downfall.

Punk seems to actually be enjoying his return to WWE.

maybe, just maybe he actually did change as a person.
living his life as a completely miserable human being in the past didn't work.

longest HOF speech of all time. Nearing 0400 normal people time.

I'm an unapologetic fan of him in the wrestling world. I fricking hate his politics. Thankfully I am part of the shrinking group of people who can compartmentalize those two things.

quote:HHH set the new standard for HOF speeches but I think this is one experiment that backfired. It ended at 1:30 Vegas time when their party ends at 4. This obviously won't work in the CDT area code. I suspect they will work out a deal with TNA to run their show on the Wed before Mania. That frees up Thursday night to run the HOF back at the original 7-10 timeframe. With Smackdown 3 hours now they can't expect people to hang around for a 3 hour GOF that doesn't start until 11 in NOLA.

I am 99% happy (still hate McCool being inductees AND her speech) with how the show was paced. It there's someone you want to go into a deep dive with (not named Vince), HHH is the guy. His career started training under a former wrestler for the original Golden Era of wrestling. He has had a hand in the careers of 99% of the current roster. By the time he's done, he'll be the common link between 100 years of wrestling history. We'll never get a pure shoot interview so if anything, the speech could've gone much higher. I do wonder if they might have a roast of him that brings out even more stories.
Predictions for the 2026 Class:
- Daniel Bryan (headlining in the home of Yeslemania...Brie was there tonight so the door is open)*
- Chyna (woman's slot)
- Demolition (tag slot)
- One of the Taker vs HHH or Shawn (match slot)
- Sid Vicous (WCW slot)
* If it's not him, the next option with NOLA ties is probably Brock. If not, perhaps Bray?

Here's the card for Stand and Deliver:
- With Trick main roster bound, Femi gets the win
- Jaida Parker pulls the upset (Guilia/Vaquer main roster)
- Vice winning the NA title
- Hank & Tank with the Fraxoim call-up upcoming
- DarkState can't afford to lose
- Meta-Four is obvious since they've already had extended time in the main roster.
I'll bump this before the show
quote:Let's go old school in these threads and do predictions. No points, just the ability to claim you can read Shawn and HHH's minds.
- NXT Championship Triple Threat Match: Oba Femi vs. Trick Williams vs. Je’Von Evans
- NXT Women’s Championship Fatal 4-Way: Stephanie Vaquer vs. Giulia vs. Jordynne Grace vs. Jaida Parker
- NXT North American Championship: Ricky Saints vs. Ethan Page
- NXT Women’s North American Championship Ladder Match: Zaria vs. Kelani Jordan vs. Sol Ruca vs. Izzi Dame vs. Lola Vice vs. Thea Hail.
- NXT Tag Team Championship: Fraxiom (Nathan Frazer & Axiom) vs. Hank Walker & Tank Ledger
- Six-Man Tag Team Match: The D’Angelo Family vs. DarkState
- (Kick-off match) #1 Contender’s Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match for WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship: Roxanne Perez & Cora Jade vs. Meta-Four (Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson) vs. Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley & Jacy Jayne) vs. Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley.?

I’ve not really paid attention to nxt much but I want to be involved.
Femi
Grace
Page
Jordan
Vice
Hank and tank
Dark slate
Rox and Cora. Thank they use this as a catalyst to get Roxane to the main roster full time.
Bonus: hendry pops in at some point. Feel like he should be involved some way this weekend but don’t see it happening at mania. This feel like a good place for him to make an appearance
Unless… he’s the surprise orton opponent

Anyone have pics of Becky at HOF inductions?

“On Sunday to beat you, I don’t have to wrestle” seems like some serious foreshadowing from the last real champion
