Creepia Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 They should have a WCW Hall of Fame section and put Sting in that. By that logic why not have an ECW section or AWA or NWA or whatever else. Nah, that makes no sense. Sting didn't just do a lot for WCW, he did a lot for wrestling in general.

Steve Carell Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 WWE Hall of Famer just doesn't sound right to me for Sting. Not a huge deal but I'd welcome the sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil' Kazu Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Would Stan Hansen go to the AJPW HOF? The WWE HOF is only the WWE HOF because the WWE "hosts" it, as I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 https://twitter.com/StephMcMahon/status/714448457793011712 2nd recipient of the Warrior Award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classiq. Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 ^^ More on this... WWE announced this morning that television journalist Joan Lunden would be the 2016 recipient of the Warrior Award at the 2016 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony this Saturday in Dallas, Texas. The initial announcement was made on The Today Show this morning by John Cena. A WWE announcement noted, "The Warrior Award is given to someone who has exhibited unwavering strength and perseverance, and who lives life with the courage and compassion that embodies the indomitable spirit of WWE Hall of Famer The Ultimate Warrior. The award will be presented to Lunden by The Ultimate Warriors widow, Dana Warrior. In June 2014, Lunden was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer, which required chemotherapy, surgery and radiation. Lunden made the decision to take her battle public and has since shared her journey through cancer treatment, becoming a prominent voice in the breast cancer community." It is truly humbling to be honored by WWE and receive this years Warrior Award at the 2016 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, Lunden said on WWE.com. After being diagnosed with cancer, my first thought was to survive, but soon after, I changed my focus from my cancer to the fight against cancer and my life took on a whole new purpose. WWE has welcomed me into their family, offering me warmth and support, as have so many of the WWE fans from around the world. It is a privilege to receive this honor. The WWE Hall of Fame will air live on the WWE Network this Saturday. PWInsider.com will have complete coverage. http://www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.php?id=100887 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impthony Peachtano Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Its a weak class for sure. Not bad just a weak class. I still think Taker should have been put in. It wouldnt have changed anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M3J Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 How not? the award is about recognizing people who aren't appreciated or recognized for the work they put in, like the people who put together and take apart the ring all the time.

Bushy. Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 They might as well name the Warrior award to the cancer award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God of Lightning Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Not sure how I feel about Snoop going in. I guess compared to some others who got in, he's really not too bad. The day they induct that jersey shore garbage, on the other hand, will be a dark dark day and I hope she get booed to hell. Warrior Award is whatever. I'm not really against it, so eh.

classiq. Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 WWE had decided to add a Legacy Award to this years Hall of Fame that will honor stars from the past. A photo of a t-shirt surfaced online that was taken at a WWE store with the following names shown: Ed Strangler Lewis, Frank Gotch, George Hackenschmidt, Lou Thesz, Mildred Burke, Pat OConnor and Sailor Art Thomas. https://twitter.com/HomerunGrandma/status/715311805103378432 http://www.ringsidenews.com/wwe-news/wwe-adding-new-award-to-the-hall-of-fame/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldsie Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Finally. Adding them brings prestige. Even if it's just for a Legacy Award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDAWG Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Surprised that none of those names are not in there. Sailor Art Thomas was already an 8 year veteran when Bobo Brazil first started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
