What about this line up for the WWE Hall of Fame for 2008?

Rick Flair

The Road Warriors

The Von Erics (The Whole Family)

The Four Horsemen (as a group)

Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat

Then in 2009 induct

Stone Cold

The Rock

Mick Foley

What are your thoughts on this

Update:

When I mention the Four Horsemen I only think of the originals becasue the others were not as carizmatic as Tully, Ole, Arn, Rick and J.J.

    That 2008 lineup is damn near perfect.

    Ric Flair definitely deserves to headline a class.

    Putting the Four Horsemen with him would be the perfect touch. Plus, I grew up watching the group, so it'd be awesome to see them getting rewarded for their hard work.

    Ricky Steamboat is another legend that casual fans have forgotten because his main gimmick was wrestling. He should definitely be inducted in the same year as Ric Flair.

    The Von Erichs and the Road Warriors were also people that I grew up on and would love to see inducted into the Hall of Fame. Their connections to Ric Flair also makes them a perfect choice.

    As far as 2009 is concerned, you can't induct Steve Austin and the Rock in the same year. They're too big to go in at the same time. They both deserve their own year.

  • I like your list. I think that it might be awhile before Flair get's inducted though i think Arn Anderson , Tully Blanchard , Ole Anderson might get inducted which would be good cause the horsemen ruled wrestling for years an were the prototype for N. W . O . As for the Road warriors I thought that they allready inducted Hawk so that could make sense for Animal to be inducted also. The Von Erichs would be a great addition to the legends that are allready in the Hall of fame cause if it wasn't for them a lot of todays superstars wouldn't exist, Undertaker got his start there to name one. I believe that Ricky Steamboat was inducted earlier this year he's still in pretty good shape for a person his age though i don't think we will be seeing him wrestle again anytime soon. I hope that they inducted all of the people you have listed for 09 .

    2008 would have the greatest HoF line-up of all time. Though I would prefer it if the members of the Horsemen were inducted individually, with Arn and Ole as a team, and the Von Erichs were left until 09. Foley, Austin and Rock can have their place when each is completely done with wrestling.

    Gus Zalenski, why exactly do you think that the greatest stable of all time and arguably the greatest tag team of all time is undeserving of the HoF?

    The Four Horsemen were not a WWE phenomenon, but I would love to see WWE cross the road and put them in. I followed the Horsemen since the originals and loved them all, until the last, after Barry Windham and Lex Luger.

    RIC FLAIR WILL BE IN 2009 OR LATER NOT THIS EARLY.

    THE ROAD WARRIORS MAYBE A COUPLE MORE YEARS AWAY.

    VON ERICS I LIKE THAT CHOICE.

    THE HORSEMAN AS A GROUP WILL PROBALY NEVER HAPPEN. IT JUST WOULDNT MAKE SENSE UNLESS U SAID THE ORIGINAL 4. OTHERWISE THERES TOO MANY AND I DONT THINK THEY WANT TO INCLUDE BENOIT IN THE HALL EVER.

    RICKY GOOD SELECTION IT SHOULD BE ABOUT HIS TIME.

    SCSA THE ROCK AND FOLEY DEFINITELY WILL BE IN THE HALL BUT NOT FOR ANOTHER 5 YEARS AT LEAST. I JUST THINK THERE IS MORE OLD TIMERS THAT DESERVE TO GO IN BEFORE THOSE 3.

    Reliable sources have already said Ric Flair and the Road Warriors will be this year's main inductees. There's already rumors of who will induct them too. Arn Anderson is supposed to induct his best friend Ric Flair. Sting is supposed to induct the Road Warriors.

    My prediction...

    Ric Flair (by Arn Anderson)

    Road Warriors (by Sting)

    Ricky Steamboat

    Randy Savage

    Owen Hart

    Von Erich's

    Maybe (if he's still on good terms with the company

    YES

    I think so.

    Why aren't they in already? Might as well lump Flair in with them.

    Of course

    All three of those guys for the 2009 class will probably be in...just a matter of when.

  • 1 decade ago

    Yes to Flair and the Dragon. No to the rest. The Rock, Austin and Foley will get in in due time, its too soon for them to be inducted.

  • I agree but I find that the Flair will be in 2009. In this everything where is BENOIT ?
