"LOOK AT ME HOAK HOGAN!! LOOK AT ME!! WITHOUT THE PAINT HOAK HOGAN, THE DESIRE TO WITHSTAND THE PAIN, AND GIVE YOU THE UTMOST IN BATTLE AND CONQUER AT WRESTLEMANIA 6 STILL STANDS HOAK HOGAN!! FOR I'M THE CHOSEN ONE!!"
Well it isn't going to be Hogan or Sting (unless one gets canned by TNA by that time), and Macho obviously isn't, so perhaps just get Vince? I can't think of anyone else who would make a lot of sense.
Christian's a good guess. Everybody that Warrior worked well with is either dead or unavailable, so they're going to have to get someone who was a WWF fanboy during the Warrior's peak, and their go-to fanboys of that era are Jericho, Edge, and Christian.
My guess is that Vince McMahon would be a good bet as a true symbol of the mended bridge, and Warrior would have to be the head of the class too so it would have to be a high profile inductor, otherwise you could have a jokey one like Zack Ryder.
Other than that maybe one of the wrestlers in their late-20s/early-30s might want to induct him because for them, like me, Warrior (whether we liked to admit it or not at other points of our fandom) was probably the main reason they first became hooked on wrestling - so maybe someone like Cena, Ziggler, Bryan or Kingston.
Maybe he has a fairly high profile celebrity pal so you could get a Shwarzenegger for Sammartino or Stallone for Hogan situation again.
Do you think anyone even wants to? Say he goes off on another rant about "queering don't make the world work". Would you want to be known as the person who inducted him?
I say they make some sort of deal with TNA and have Sting induct the UW. That way Sting can come over and see the grass is greener and sign with the WWE a few months later. Win/Win.
and in true callback fashion, htm can be like 'thankyouverymuch, ladies and gentleman, join me as i shake rattle and roll into the hof: the ultimate warrior!'
Hogan.
ReplyDeleteHis hands? They gave him good advice at WM 7
ReplyDeleteWarlord. They were good friends.
ReplyDeleterenegade.
ReplyDeleteSting!
ReplyDeleteIt should be Christian doing the imitation.

Should be Hogan but they'd probably have HHH do it.

ReplyDeleteSNORK.

ReplyDeletePapa Shango
ReplyDeleteIt'll be Jake Roberts...trust me
ReplyDeleteSavage, Rick Rude are dead, Hogan and him don't get along.. Next most memorable match to me was vs the Honky Tonk Man why not let him do it..
ReplyDeleteWell, Ed Leslie was his disciple in the OWN.
ReplyDeleteTriple H with the Induction...then the Pedigree to get his win back from 17 yrs ago.
ReplyDeleteIn alll seriousness, is there anyone who makes sense to induct him? I guess Hogan, but don't they hate each other.
He should fucking induct himself with the most coked out Warrior promo ever.

I think him and Punk are buddies.
ReplyDeleteIt is going to be Sheamus. For he is the Celtic Warrior.
ReplyDeleteI seriously wonder if Warrior has any actual friends in wrestling.
Ugh, I hate that snork thing he does.
ReplyDeleteNot one vote for Phil Collins yet. Disappointed. I was waiting for that moment all my life, but I don't care anymore.
ReplyDeleteGreat Khali. We can't understand what he's saying, either.
ReplyDeleteDo you think anyone even wants to? Say he goes off on another rant about "queering don't make the world work". Would you want to be known as the person who inducted him?
ReplyDeleteToo late?
ReplyDeleteActually not so much. I would say that Hebner was giving better advice.
ReplyDeleteThe Undertaker. Just to show there are no hard feelings over the whole tried to kill you by locking you in a casket thing.
ReplyDeleteIts the least he could do after making the poor man puke on national television.
ReplyDeleteTriple H should induct him after all Warrior did put him on the map.
ReplyDeleteThe Iron Sheik. Actually, I'd pay to see him induct anyone.
ReplyDeleteI'd pay real money for a shoot interview with Warrior's hands.
ReplyDeleteI feel like Honky would then get pissy for not being in the Hall. But otherwise, yeah, good call.
ReplyDelete...it's only a 2 hour show.
ReplyDeleteI thought Honky was offered, but he didn't accept cause he had another gig worth more money that night?
ReplyDeletealso Warrior and RVD are friends
ReplyDeleteSting maybe still?
ReplyDeleteLenny and Lodi.
ReplyDeletepretty much

ReplyDeleteIf he was alive, the Renegade.
ReplyDeleteHis squashing of Triple H was like the Sheamus/Daniel Bryan match of its time.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting to hear both sides of the story.
ReplyDeleteHogan?
ReplyDeleteThe voices in Randy Orton's head.
ReplyDeleteZeb Coulter. Politics~~!
ReplyDeleteHeenan. Weren't they close friends?
ReplyDeletei was about to hear it, but oh lord, i missed again
ReplyDeletei'll hear it yet, tho, against all odds. for now, hello i must be going - i have a date with my easy lover.
ahhhh, just another day in paradise!
