And cut the best face promo in years the night he came back.

Was this before or after Goldberg gave himself a concussion from banging his head on a locker because he thinks wrestling is real?

 

[Aiii]

Call it the YES-award, after Daniel Bryan, who overcame the odds like the recipients did here.

Coincidentally, Bryan inducted the first recipient, Conor.

 

[Knox]

Who would you rather the award be named after? I'm trying to think of a better person to immortalize this way.

Anyone. Name it after Conor. Don't name it after a hateful bigot.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

The You Can't See Me award.

Hell name it after Conor even.

 

[Tom Nook]

Conor Award

 

[ghostmind]

Either he hates Warrior, or he didn't want to be subjected to the booing anymore.

I get why they named it the "Warrior" award, but they should name it after Cena after he's done.

I think the booing started because he got up to leave.

 

[RecRoulette]

Crowd is so close to a "You still got it" chant

Sometime after we all agreed Bryan shouldn't wrestle anymore.

There's been a lot of really great people in wrestling. Warrior is the total opposite. I don't know if I can say he was one of the worst because there have been some truly vile people in wrestling, but he was most definitely a dirtbag and not any man to name an inspirational award after.

OH my god...

Your response makes zero sense. But sure ok.

"You can't wrestle!" *clap clap clapclapclap*

Now that would be horrible.

Whoever that is by Titus is out cold.

please no

 

[excelsiorlef]

Like maybe he changed at the the end but so what he hurt a lot of people

Yeah this.

See Warrior wore bright and distinctive colours. Easier to market as a brand for these carny fuckers.

Absolutely agreed. I asked because I was having a brain fart trying to come up with a not-scummy wrestler, not because I think Warrior deserves it or should even be in the conversation of people who deserve it. Fuck him.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Haven't seen Seth at all tonight. Guy probably can't attend if he's actually got pneumonia. I wonder if he'll be good for Sunday.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Jake said he was a changed man when they buried the hatchet at the HOF, but I agree, Warrior should have nothing to do with this.

 

[Pikma]

I expect them to also have a JBL anti-bullying fighters award sooner or later

 

[atomsk]

10:47, and this is without a celeb inductee this year.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Getting to the speech at hand. Is this guy telling us his entire life story?

 

[RecRoulette]

10:47, and this is without a celeb inductee this year.

I feel like these shows usually go at least 3 hours if not longer.

 

[Pikma]

He's fun to listen to tho

 

[Ithil]

Seth will get in the ring even if he's puking all the way down the ramp or needs to bring a box of Kleenex in his entrance. After how upset he was in the video of him watching last year's main event from backstage on crutches there's no way he's gonna miss this year.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Attitude era confirmed as the GOAT

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Its conflicting because they are actually doing a good thing by raising awareness for all these issues but then you have Steph tweeting about philanthropy being the future of marketing and its just kind of depressing.

 

[serenewarfare]

I feel like these shows usually go at least 3 hours if not longer.

We're approaching three and still have two inductees left.

But it's really not as big of an issue now because unlike in past years, these guys don't have to be ready for Mania the next day.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Eric is wearing Ultimate Warrior sneakers.

I like this speech but everything around it makes me uncomfortable

 

[Killing_Joke]

Hey that's one of my favorite Stone Cold moments too.

 

[illmatic22]

He's fun to listen to tho

This

 

[kiguel182]

Fuck the ultimate warrior, he was a piece of shit.

His original idea for the award was nice, they should've done it and a separate charity award. None named after him.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

He's fun to listen to tho

I'll take your word to it. His voice is too muffled for me to understand a lot of what he says. Wish they'd have fixed him up with a better mic. Does seem like a nice guy though.

 

[Guzim]

Kane!!!

 

[Pikma]

Lmao this guy is great

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Lol, that Kane part.

 

[Cody_D165]

I expect them to also have a JBL anti-bullying fighters award sooner or later

the Stone Cold Steve Austin Sobriety Award

 

[Tom Nook]

SD vs Raw videogame shoutout.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I would also like to comment that the Ultimate Warrior can get fucked.

 

[Damn Silly]

Somebody tell Nocturnowl!

 

[kiguel182]

This is a nice speech

 

[MetatronM]

"It was that time he called Kevin Kelly a hermaphrodite."

 

[Wagram]

Teddy Long and Kurt Angle are left. We're going to be here until 12:30 minimum.

 

[ReiGun]

Woods in the cut like "Wrap it up, bruh."

 

[Beefy]

The Hulk Hogan True American award

 

[Rival]

It's kind of like just random wrestling thoughts.

 

[serenewarfare]

We just just enshrine this comment for every HOF going forward because it's going to be made:

"This is a nice moment for [insert inductee here], but Ultimate Warrior was a piece of shit and WWE is doing this to look good."

 

[friskykillface]

Teddy Long and Kurt Angle are left. We're going to be here until 12:30 minimum.

Man, if they limit Kurts speech I'll be so bummed

 

[kiguel182]

Almost 4 am here

 

[GraveRobberX]

Ok great speech, but this went on way too long
