What did you think about the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2020/2021?
Individual Inductees: Eric Bischoff John "Bradshaw" Layfield Jushin "Thunder" Liger Kane Molly Holly Rob Van Dam The British Bulldog The Great Khali
Group Inductees: New World Order The Bella Twins
Legacy Inductees: Baron Michele Leone Brickhouse Brown Buzz Sawyer D!ck the Bruiser Ethel Johnson Gary Hart Paul Boesch Pez Whatley Ray Stevens "Dr. Death" Steve Williams
Celebrity Inductees: Ozzy Osbourne William Shatner
Warrior Award Inductees: Rich Hering Titus O'Neil
I guess The Great Khali deserves props for being the first Indian world champion in WWE however I'll be honest if they were going to put him in for that then they should waited until he became a legacy inductee in my opinion.
I don't think Brie Bella deserved being inducted period, being a one-time champion and being carried by your sister doesn't make you a Hall of Famer in my book. Even as a Nikki Bella fan I think they should've waited to induct her.
It's kinda funny how Ozzy Osbourne got inducted at the same event as The British Bulldog one half of the team he stood beside at Wrestlemania 2 alongside “Capt.” Lou Albano.

Favorite Answer
Eric Bischoff: Kinda surreal to see Eric Bischoff go into a WWE Hall of Fame, but it's warranted if not for WCW, then for his on-air presence in wrestling since the AWA days.
John "Bradshaw" Layfield: JBL's been a controversial figure, but I have no beef with him going into the Hall. He's a former world champion, a tag team specialist, and a good-to-great color commentator depending on which years we're talking about.
Jushin "Thunder" Liger: Another surreal one, but warranted. Outside of his one-off in NXT he's got no shared history with the WWE. Is he a legend though? yeah, and the induction is well deserved.
Kane: Fantastic. Great career evolution throughout his WWE run as Kane, not even counting Isaac Yankem.
Molly Holly: More warranted than half of the women who've been inducted. She's had a great on screen career and done so much to help legitimize women's wrestling.
Rob Van Dam: Warranted. Rob's been a headliner everywhere he's landed in wrestling since the glory days of ECW, including WWE itself. His matches with Jerry Lynn are the stuff of wrestling tape legend.
The British Bulldog: Warranted, although I would've been OK with him going in with a lump Hart Family induction, or even as one half of the tandem of British Bulldogs, but this is fine too.
The Great Khali: It's a weird one....I know he's a huge star in India, even outside of wrestling, but it's strange.
Group Inductees:
New World Order: I don't know why Sean Waltman had to be involved with the original 3 lineup going in, but I'm fine with the lineup that went in.
The Bella Twins: It was going to happen sooner or later, and I can't blame them for striking while the iron is still somewhat hot with their reality television careers. They do nothing for me, but I'm done pretending this HoF isn't about politics.
Legacy Inductees: I'm cool with Gary Hart, Ethel Johnson, Ray Stevens, Dick the Bruiser, and Dr. Death going in this way, but Buzz Sawyer's name's steeped in controversy. Can't wait for the Dark Side of the Ring. I'm a huge jobber mark, especially when it comes to the 80's and early 90's, but I have no idea why 'Pistol' Pez Whatley is going in. It would've been nice to see some of these names inducted as part of a class to be honest. A lot of them would even be first ballot for any other wrestling Hall of Fame.
Celebrity Inductees:
Ozzy Osbourne: I'm happy for any accreditation or showing of respect that this man ever gets.
William Shatner: I'm fine with it. Shatner's been on TV twice for WWE I believe. That's one more than Bob Barker, whom I had no qualms with going in either.
Warrior Award Inductees:
Rich Hering: I'm glad the award finally gets used for what Warrior wanted it to be. Don't get me wrong, I have no qualms with the humanitarian route WWE has went with it, but it's cool to see some unsung worker backstage get some praise.
Titus O'Neil: I've seen people say they should just re-name it the Titus O'Neil award, or make one considering how much charity work the man does. No qualms with this one either.All in all, an awesome class.
Eric Bischoff deserved it for wcw time John "Bradshaw" Layfield deserved it for apa and his heel era Jushin "Thunder" Liger deserved it Kane DUH!! Molly Holly sure Rob Van Dam THE WHOLE F'N SHOW The British Bulldog should have been in years ago The Great Khali too soon. Others are more deserving to go in like Sid Vicious. Group Inductees: New World Order DUH The Bella Twins WHO?
