Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
He's (billed) from Miami which is a bit like inducting Rey Mysterio into the Hall of Fame specifically because it's occurring at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara.
He's also 43, and I'm like 90% certain he has not wrestled his last match (because he'd make a big deal about it if and when it was his last match). I actually imagine Daniel Bryan is far, far more likely given that they really like having one big legit dude, one old tyme guy, and then a ton of questionable people.

Who inducts Daniel Bryan?

What about the guy in charge of NXT
I mean the Rock has been at the last 5 WrestleManias so I have no idea why anyone would think he wouldn't attend it wherever it happens to be. In fact, I'm fairly certain he is in fact contracted to appear at them. I mean, how hard is it for Dwayne to show up and ad-lib the same promo he's been doing for 20 years to fill 15 minutes? Probably not very.

Michaels maybe, since he trained him.

Ugh my Top Ten ain't too good. Requires a lot of work and decisions to be made. Fuck. So here's ten people I really enjoy from the past.
1. Psicosis - My favorite luchador of all time. Changed how I felt about wrestling. Great theme too.
2. Arn Anderson - Obvs
3. "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert - Unbelievable heel. I don't talk about him much because most people don't know much about him, since he was in a smaller area at a big time, but he was absolutely magnificent at what he did. A+ heel.
4. Ted DiBiase - He was pretty much perfect. Great look for what he was. Was able to do anything. Had the crowd in the palm of his hand every time.
5. Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy - A true natural in every sense of the word. Taken too soon
6. Tully Blanchard - most people remember him as a horseman and that's fine, but his singles stuff really shone in my opinion
7. Superstar Billy Graham - Loved his work. Just absolutely loved it. He set the prototype (and even then he ripped off some things from others, as wrestling is) and was a defining figure of the 70s into the 80s. Larger than life. Amazing guy.
8. Jerry Lawler - He did so much, so incredibly much. His Memphis work is basically peerless. Incredible how he ran that whole area, never mind the WWE revisionist history. He really was Memphis.
9. Junkyard Dog - His pre-WWF stuff was fantastic, before he ended his run with WWF. He was involved in all manner of hot stuff (not Eddie) and was absolutely a superstar, he had IT. Everyone loved that goddamned man.
10. Jumbo Tsuruta - A trailblazer, and an underappreciated guy. His transitions and in-ring were absolutely goddamned impeccable, a lot of creativity in very rote moves that set him apart from the rest. He's a goddamned legend.

He was really freaking good! I watched a match someone (not sure if it was you or Boots) posted on that other forum and it was fantastic. WWF really made him the butt of so much.

IDK, basically any old legend because all of them as far as I could tell were big DB marks.
They aren't really in danger of ever running out of guys the way they do it. They just induct random people whose name you remember plus 1 big marquee guy every year.
you mean no.10?

Still really looking forward to seeing it Wednesday.

What gimmick was mine, pal?
Come on now, Miz made him who he is.
Hulkster might be in the top 25 for me, brother.
Miz trained him about as much as Michaels did. Regal trained Bryan. Michaels took Bryan's money and let him use his gym and that's about it
But we already saw that match three times? Ugh, talk about over-exposure. Why not have just the first match and build from there?
Psicosis at #1. You know that's outrageous. I admit that I'm speaking from ignorance, in that I've never seen the man outside of The Big Three, and I'm guessing (hoping?) he was big time in Mexico or something. But still, Psicosis didn't transcend nothin'. I'm getting hot about this whole situation.
A-ha! Not Scott Steiner after all, now are you?

My guess is that I could put together their Hall of Fames for the next decade without anyone questioning it at all given the formula is so easy (and since its all kayfabe anyways who cares)
1) The one actual main eventer people like (Daniel Bryan)
2) Guy people definitely remember but maybe he wasn't so great (say, Bam Bam Bigelow)
3) Random Tag Team or Stable, particularly when it has someone too controversial to individually induct (uh, Demolition. The Hart Foundation. Degeneration-X.)
4) Random Female Wrestler
5) Really Old Guy that's not in the Hall and possibly didn't work for WWE
6) Celebrity who appeared at one event (LT)

I always liked him. He was great. That guillotine legdrop was tremendous. He's definitely in my Top 10 (played as in Revenge).

Juventud is great
But it's based in his/her personal preference, isn't it? He might not be a gigantic name like Hogan, but this doesn't change the fact that, on personal level, Vince enjoyed Psicosis more than the other guys.
Someone can honestly say that Finlay is their favorite of all time, and that wouldn't be gimmick posting, just personal preference for a character/performer.
Sorry if you're just having fun, I can't tell what's real in this community anymore lol
EDIT:
See? :/

Well, he was MY favorite and changed my life. So, it is what it is. If you give me a list of matches involving everyone in the list, I'll pick the Psicosis match first ten times out of ten. I always want to see him.
That three way...oooo-weeeeee
His opinion is his alone, and right to him. But I'm calling shenanigans and willing to fist-fight over it.

Juvi was absolutely incredible in those WCW shows. Especially when he and Disco Inferno had to do the La Cucaracha gimmick. I'll always stan for Juvi due to his ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL good looks, because he's fucking gorgeous and nobody else agrees, but he was a ton of fun to watch as well.
Hold on a second there friend. Did you actually read his post before you started complaining about gimmick top tens? Because, right there, in the very first line are these magical things called words:
I highlighted it in case it was difficult to read.
If you're getting hot over this, then I think it's time for a tag team match. It's you, and a partner of your choosing, against Sunny and Psicosis.

He made me spend time watching luchadors in WCW, which was my entry point, and made me fall in love with lucha culture. I ended up going to Mexico for a couple years based primarily on the love I had for lucha, met a girl down there, fell in love, got married. It really changed my life.
