WWE recently made a change to 2015 Hall of Fame plans and Ray “The Crippler” Stevens will not be inducted this year.
WWE Hall of Famer Pat Patterson had been pushing for Stevens to be inducted this year due to his history with the Bay Area, where WrestleMania is being held. It was expected that Patterson would be doing the induction also. While Stevens won’t be inducted this year, he likely will enter the Hall at a later date.
This could also be a sign that Hall of Fame plans for this year are now finalized.
Also as noted, Kevin Nash is expected to be announced soon for the 2015 WWE Hall of Fame class.
Nash will apparently be going in this year as “Big Daddy Cool” Diesel instead of under his real name. Obviously this opens up the door for a nWo induction in the future as Scott Hall was inducted as Razor Ramon last year. The main reason WWE is inducting Nash as Diesel is because they own the rights to that name.
Nash’s induction is expected to close this year’s Hall of Fame ceremony and Shawn Michaels is currently planned to do the induction.
