What's the Legacy HOF? How are they less important that bums like godfather who get in?

I think the main reason they don't induct them in the main HOF is because they are all dead and almost no one nowadays knows who they are.

 

[ReiGun]

I know Angle's gonna destroy me.

I started watching wrestling about a month or two before Angle's debut. He was the first dude who's "story" I got to see right from the beginning and was always a favorite. Just knowing everything he's been through....man. It's gonna be a lot.

 

[Cody_D165]

My dad used to tell me stories about seeing dudes like Haystacks Calhoun and George the Animal Steele when I was young.

Wrasslin' is pretty neat.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

Rikidozan is a more important wrestler than anyone who's been inducted tonight

Legacy is people vince can't take credit for and people didn't buy out and job out to his kids.

It's dedicated to people who wrestled in the early years of pro wrestling. Guess there aren't many people left to give speeches for them or they don't dedicate much time to people that aren't very well known today.

 

[DMczaf]

Jerry Graham is Vince's favorite wrestler.

Makes sense he leads his video package with his voice announcing him haha.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Heh. Toots.

 

[Violence Jack]

I wonder if Angle is going to sneak a mention about TNA in his speech.

Feels like yesterday that he was feuding with Jericho.

 

[GavinUK86]

One ounce of brain power can conquer tons of muscle

I like it

 

[friskykillface]

ANGLE SLAM HYPE

 

[DMczaf]

Angle ;_;

A fucking natural in shoot and worked wrestling.

 

[excelsiorlef]

I'm bummed it's not Austin inducting him.

Cena is boring

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

I'm not ready to see Angle again, eyes may suddenly become misty

 

[TimeEffect]

No way is he not mentioning Styles and Joe

 

[Guzim]

I can't wait for Angle.

 

[serenewarfare]

Legacy is people vince can't take credit for and people didn't buy out and job out to his kids.

If that was true, guys like Stan Hansen, Carlos Colon, and Mil Mascaras wouldn't be in.

But sure, that's it.

 

[Syder]

YOU SUCK!

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

I'm not ready to see Angle again, eyes may suddenly become misty

I'm ready to yell YOU SUCK

 

[ElRenoRaven]

It's basically people who are long dead and had nothing or very little to do with WWE. So it's like honoring your elders type thing.

 

[excelsiorlef]

2001 Austin/Angle is the best comedic duo in wrestling fucking history

 

[kiguel182]

Sexy Kurt is such an awesome segment.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

I love you Angle

 

[GavinUK86]

I'M JUST A SEXY KURT, I'LL MAKE YOUR ANKLE HURT

 

[friskykillface]

#FreeAustin

Lol sexy Kurt

 

[SDBurton]

I'm bummed it's not Austin inducting him.

Cena is boring

I feel that it's poetic that it's Cena doing the honors

 

[Violence Jack]

I had forgotten how hilarious Kurt was. Dude used to have me rolling.

 

[painey]

Steph trying to keep kayfabe when we know it wasn't real milk

 

[excelsiorlef]

Steph protecting the business cause that wasn't milk

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Kurt! What a guy.

 

[Rhaknar]

[Bruce Springsteen]

OMG, Benoit seen in footage

 

[Laws00]

[Host Samurai]

[BroBot]

Awh man no Huganomics mention? Please be in the speech tonight with a camera shot to Bailey and Cena.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

[friskykillface]

[BewareTheBatsie]

[serenewarfare]

John Cena in a tailored suit got me shook.

 

[Rhaknar]

STFU marks god damn it

 

[Ithil]

I think it's a HHH thing, he's obsessive about wrestling history and all those people are important but all dead and many have very little video footage of them if any, so you can't really induct them normally but they really should be in your Hall of Fame if it's supposed to be a wrestling hall of fame.

 

[Adree]

It's dedicated to people who wrestled in the early years of pro wrestling. Guess there aren't many people left to give speeches for them or they don't dedicate much time to people that aren't very well known today.

Jim Cornette is right there.

 

[Cody_D165]

Fuck this crowd seriously

 

[kiguel182]

Cena is so good at working the crowd.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Lmfao Miz again. He's so good.

Edit: Also wow, Cena is fucking pro at working the crowd to take down a moment.

 

[Tom Nook]

Let's go Miz

 

[friskykillface]

[Shadow780]

[excelsiorlef]

Fuck lol a Miz chant and they cut to Miz perfect ... Brilliant

 

[ReiGun]

"Let's go Miz" chants. Damn.

Rare footage of Cena's suit game not being trash.
