<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Just kidding, it\u2019s The King. He brings up Big Sexy, The Terminator, and Conor. King starts a short-lived Yes chant. He does a Bushwackers taunt, then Hogan, and it begins to settle in that I\u2019ll be here to recap people talking\u2026so it\u2019s like the first 20 minutes of RAW for\u2026ever.<\/p>\n
Anyway, our first inductee is\u2026.<\/p>\n

Hall of Famer: Rikishi Induction Speech<\/big><\/b><\/span> Freeze frame shot to Rikishi\u2019s butt.<\/p>\n They remember being 13 years old thinking \u201cWhat is he wearing? Is Dad wearing a thong?\u201d They point at his ass and say, \u201cthat right there\u2026put us through college. That right there bought us Christmas presents, birthday presents, Thanksgiving Feasts, roof over our heads.\u201d But they are very glad that Dad didn\u2019t give them the stink face. They point out Booker getting the stink gace then puking. They claim that this isn\u2019t the only reason why they are there tonight.<\/p>\n They are there for his hard work, his dedication, his sacrifices, his passion for the WWE. That same passion took him from a poor kid outside breakdancing for some change to a WWE 2015 Hall of Famer. They introduce their father.<\/p>\n Hall of Famer\u2019s Speech:<\/big><\/b><\/span> Every professional wrestler dreams of being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, and now for him, this dream is reality. As you all know, I come from a direct extension of one of the most prolific, hard-working, and humble wrestling families in the WWF and the WWE history, the Anoa\u2019i Family, known as the Samoan Dynasty. For over five decades \u2013 that\u2019s 50 years, y\u2019all \u2013 numerous members from one family have been on the WWF and WWE roster, including the High Chief Peter Maivia, the Wild Samoans, Afa and Sika, The Rock, Yokozuna, The Tonga Kid, Umaga (shout out to Umaga \u2013 which gets a chant), Manu, The Usos, and ROMAN REIGNS (some boos for the boy). They all hail from one family, that he has been proud to be a part of. My uncles, Afa and Sika, provided wrestling road maps for me, and I am forever grateul. My father, I honor you dad \u2013 will you please stand?<\/i><\/p>\n I thank my parents for always supporting me. I only wish that my beautiful mother was still with us to witness this event, but I know momma that you\u2019re down looking on me and smiling at me. I love you. I thank my brothers and sisters, I love you always. Thank you. I thank all of my children for loving me, and I love you all. And the backbone \u2013 every man has a backbone \u2013 my wife, my superwoman, Karina. I love you, honey. However, I would not be standing here tonight without the amazing support and the love from the best fans in the entire world. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I feel like my life has come full circle, and I\u2019m still enjoying my love for professional wrestling, but now as a trainer \u2013 with my brother Reno, and Gangrel, we are excited for the next crop of fresh, innovative talent whom we are training to step into the squared circle. Shout out to Rusev, who represents Knox Pro to the fullest, congrats on Wrestlemania tomorrow. It is important to do what you love. I have loved what I do for 31 years. I truly stand on the shoulders of giants, with huge hearts, who afforded me the opportunity to live my dream. My passion I have for this wrestling business is evident. It\u2019s in my DNA. It\u2019s my entire being. I remember the brutal training being relentless in my pursuit. I remember the hotels, the motels, the late nights and injuries \u2013 all the missed birthdays, all the missed family times. I remember the characters, every show, every walk through the curtains, every pyro, every dance move, and every Stinkface. And, I remember, most importantly, each and every fans\u2019 face worldwide, wherever I performed.<\/p>\n But what I will remember most of all is this moment. THIS moment, right now (careful, McGillicutty). I am honored, and humble to be inducted into the 2015 WWE Hall of Fame, where I was born and where I was raised.<\/i><\/p>\n Rikishi says a few words in his nation\u2019s tongue, and although it\u2019s a little rusty, my translation of what he says is essentially that he thanks me so much for doing this recap, and will be forever grateful of my existence. Thanks, Kish. You da man, man\u2026<\/p>\n Since this is his night, he can\u2019t just leave his fans like this. He was stretching for a little bit in the back. \u201cLet\u2019s do this for the people, twins.\u201d<\/p>\n The Usos have the glasses!!!! They\u2019re on! And IT\u2019S ON!<\/p>\n YAS!!! Everybody get down with the bigt man. We even get THE WORM from Jimmy!!! haha.<\/p>\n -Network Shill-<\/i><\/p>\n I should note that they continually bleep out the \u201cf\u201d whenever someone says WWF. Interesting and slightly annoying.<\/p>\n Our next Inductee is\u2026.<\/p>\n Hall of Famer: Larry Zbysko Induction Speech<\/big><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n He wants to congratulate all of the Hall of Famers, calls them a great group for 2015, and he\u2019s thrilled to see Arnold again. He wants to tell us a bit about Zbysko. He first met him when he was just a kid, and he pops up over to his house, Larry found out where he lived, and Larry says he was a big fan, he would like to become a professional wrestler. Bruno asks if he\u2019s in school, and Larry said yes, he\u2019s on the team, but he wants to be a wrestler. Bruno tells him to stay in school and get good grades. Larry shows up again, and asks for training. he kept coming and coming. Bruno started working out with him, and realized that Larry was a terrific talent. He trained religiously, got very strong, and when the time came, he said he\u2019s ready \u2013 he\u2019s going to graduate. Bruno says he must first go to college. You need that degree. Very reluctantly, he went to college \u2013 wrestled through it, and got his degree. He finally graduated and asked that Bruno kept his word. He never lost a step, went from 190 to 240. He was a terrific wrestler. He started with some local shows in Pittsburgh and it was very obvious that Larry was a natural. He was sent to Vancouver. He couldn\u2019t believe what a natural he was. He told Vince Sr. that he was a natural, so they brought him in. He wanted to be at the top. Bruno brings up the double cross, and how the fans turned on him so badly. He got the same reaction everywhere. McMahon Sr deserves to be on top. Bruno brings up a 1:00 afternoon show where Larry sold out, among other shows that Larry continually sold out. He was in demand all over, and went on a lengthy career of 22 years all over the world, and finally after that, he retired but went elsewhere, broadcasting for the next 10 years. Bruno finally presents Zybsyko.<\/p>\n Hall of Famer\u2019s Speech:<\/big><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n He calls standing there a dream that came true. He brings up driving Bruno crazy. He mentios Sigmund Freud, and how he came up with an idea that dreams become the reality of your wishes. To put that a little bit different, it\u2019s the power of your imagination that creates the wish that becomes your life\u2019s dream. And his dream, by the time he was 16, was to become a professional wrestler. He wanted to be like his hero, Bruno Sammartino. He allows a nice chant for himself. When he was 16, he was already one of the biggest wrestling fans alive. He drove his parents crazy. His father hated it. This was his dream, though. At 16, he had his license and a piece of junk Ford, and a mother who knew what her baby\u2019s dream was gonna be. She gave him a list from the school she did some volunteer work at, and there was Bruno\u2019s address on this piece of paper. Every time he went off in that direction, he went out of the way a block and drove down a side street that went right along Bruno\u2019s back yard. You couldn\u2019t see into his backyard, but it didn\u2019t stop him. He would drive by over and over, then one day he drove by the side street, and through the hedges, for a second, he saw Bruno standing by his pool, tanning. He couldn\u2019t help it, he stopped the car, got out of the car, and it felt like a hand \u2013 a giant hand of destiny \u2013 pushing him in the back, and he started crawling through the hedges. Bruno looked over at him, and he doesn\u2019t know how Bruno kept a straight face. Larry walked over, introduced himself, told him that Bruno was his hero, and his dream was to be a professional wrestler. *snickers* He guesses he doesn\u2019t need to go over the rest, as we all konw what happened.<\/p>\n Bruno started him out on a career that was unbelievable. He brings up some great old timers and says he wonders what would have happened if he never took that walk through the hedges. And he still doesn\u2019t understand why Bruno didn\u2019t just kick him out. Instead, he took Larry under his wing, and he doesn\u2019t know why. He really doesn\u2019t know why. After all the years of having a reputation of a big mouth, man, he\u2019s speechless. (I beg to differ.) You know, he says, it\u2019s hard to explain what happens to a young man\u2019s dream when you get frustrated with it sometimes, and Bruno was graceous enough to get in a ring with him at a time when it was hard for him. That day in his yard, when he introduced himself, he doesn\u2019t know what it was other than just what was meant to be. All he knows for sure is that after spending an afternoon with Bruno on that first day, his dream was going to happen come hell or high water\u2026and it came true. It was great. Then, one day came the hell and the high water\u2026and man, destiny took a hold of him by the pants, and threw him around like a leaf in the wind, and he drove everyone crazy around him. Right when he was ready to explode and be a pro, Bruno broke his neck. It shocked the wrestling world. He retired and started commentating. There was something wrong, though. The Old School just wasn\u2019t ready to go out yet. He knew that with everything he was taught, something wasn\u2019t complete. The Old School Era wasn\u2019t going out this way. So, off they went. He is overwhelmed.<\/p>\n After a thank you chant, Larry says he is overflowing with knowledge and wisdom, but he still can\u2019t put the words together to thank Bruno for what he did. Bruno, being the kind of man he is, he doesn\u2019t even want to hear this, but he\u2019s gonna. Bruno, from the bottom of my heart, Thank you Sir for letting a young boy\u2019s dream come true when you didn\u2019t have to do it. He didn\u2019t have to do it. There was one more man involved, also. Another guy he drove crazy. He wants to send a special e-mail up to that big office in the sky to Vince McMahon Sr. He believed in Larry\u2019s dream, and the Old School era went out rocking the world, giving birth to a new era of nationwide PPV, and it was awesome. 47 years ago, he found himself a rabbit hole in the middle of a giant row of hedges, and he dove right in, and Bruno was standing there. Now, he\u2019s walking out of that rabbit hole, and Bruno is there again, holding the door open that finally let me out. Now he\u2019s standing there wearing the same ring as his hero. This is a perfect ending to an outrageous dream he had. Now that this dream is over, he gets to go home and become again what he was once upon a time \u2013 one of the biggest wrestling fans alive. He\u2019s hooked. He\u2019s gonna cheer on a new generation who are clinging on for dear life to a collosal new, global network era, that\u2019s exploding to life before his very eyes, and he\u2019s thrilled to be part of its history.<\/p>\n There\u2019s something he wants to say about professional wrestling fans; without each other to share the power of our imaginations with, there would be no dreams at all. He wants these words to live on forever for this is the truth. He has felt the love of standing in the ring with millions of millions of people chanting his name, Mean Gene announcing him as wrestling\u2019s living legend, and for that moment in time he became like his hero, and his dream was coming true. He has felt the wrath of fighting his way out of riots night after night. Whiskey bottles and chairs smashing. Stabbed in the ass. By the greatest fans of all. WWE Universe, we are what\u2019s awesome, and he hopes all of our dreams come true, too.<\/p>\n Gah-leeeeee!!!<\/p>\n -Network Shilling-<\/i><\/p>\n NEEEEXT<\/p>\n Hall of Famer: Alundra Blaze Induction Speech:<\/big><\/b><\/span> Alundra had been working on a promo, doing roughly 20 takes. Arn was waiting behind her, and he was ready to go. He needed to go, but Alundra wasn\u2019t having it. The story ends with The Enforcer running for his life. Alundra was running after him with her heel in her hand. It\u2019s those moments that really make her proud to be inducting Alundra. There\u2019s a quote (of course there is), it says The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out, they\u2019re there to stop the other people. That\u2019s a loose paraphrase. Nattie introduces Alundra as the only woman in the world who Arn Anderson is afraid of.<\/p>\n I think I just saw Molly Holly.<\/p>\n Hall of Famer\u2019s Speech:<\/big><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n She scoffs, claiming she never saw this coming. She has an iPad. She thanks Nattie, and calls the Hart Foundation steep in rich history and tradition, and she\u2019s proud of Nattie for carrying on that tradition.<\/p>\n \u201cI am extremely honored and humbled to be standing alongside the entire class. It\u2019s truly an honor. After 21 years, what took you so long. Just a little history on how I got here. There was a stunt coordinator back in the 80s who approached her, saying she would be good in the entertainment business. I had this vision of wrestlers, and instantly her hollywood dreams were crushed. She was introduced to Ed Sharky, who ended up being her promoter in the independent circuit. She did those early shows for no money, getting her car repossessed. He told her that\u2019s what you do as a wrestler, you lose things. She then was introduced to Wahoo McDaniel. Wahoo wanted her to work with the legendary Sheri Martel. She worked with Sheri to become who she is. This time in the AWA facilitated her move to All Japan Pro Wrestling<\/p>\n I get the first network stoppage of the night, and return to Alundra mentioning Mr. Perfect and Diamond Dallas Page. She calls DDP a future Hall of Famer. She would be remiss if she didn\u2019t mention her Japanese wrestling family. Her beliefs, morals, and values were all forged in the three years from Japan. Her style wouldn\u2019t have evolved if it weren\u2019t for her Japanese family and staff. She wants to thank the coolest granny on the planet, also. She thanks her parents, her newfound sister and brother, and a big thank you to all her chicas, as well as her extended family watching her right now on the WWE Network for $9.99!! Her Monster Jam family. All of her Pink Warriors, and her die hard Madusa fans. Her awesome crew chief. She also needs to take a few moments to thank some incredibly gifted and talented people. There\u2019s a phrase \u201cdoin the job,\u201d and she wants to acknowledge those who inspired and encourage her.<\/p>\n Alundra wants to give a special thanks to Paul Heyman. She loves him. Paul is the only man that can rock a mullet, carry a footlong ugly as phone, and have a mouth that only a mother could love. She says that SHE was the first Paul Heyman girl. The Verbal Assassin Paul Heyman, Stone Cold Steve Austin. She admits to the biggest crush on Austin. She calls out Arn. She congratulates Larry Zybysko. She brings up Rick Rude, and calls him a future WWE Hall of Famer as well. She is humbled to be inducted in the same class as the Immortal Randy Savage. He was an amazing man who they all miss terribly. She thanks Triple H for mending fences that many thought were broken forever. She shouts out the WWE Staff, and thanks them. Another interruption, and we are back as she thanks the troops.<\/p>\n She says she wants to get to some fun stuff. Let\u2019s just get to what everybody wants to talk about. Let\u2019s address the elephant in the room \u2013 let\u2019s talk about the title. For that, we need to go back to 1995, as she was sitting on the toilet, no joke, she received a call from Eric Bischoff, offering her a contract from WCW. That one phone call would lead to one of the most controversial moments in wrestling history. She had no idea she would start a war. She unknowingly fired the first shot in what would become the Monday Night War. Who does that? What was she thinking? When Bischoff told her to do this, her first reaction was hell no. She did it,though. Why? She did it for job security. She did what any other wrestler would do. Her stint was used to get the WWE\u2019s attention, and it worked. She is still asked about the incident once a day. She\u2019ll forever be known as the bitch that threw the title in the trash. It takes a lot to be a bitch, she says. She has lived with this every day. She is at peace with it now, and so should we.<\/p>\n Natalya comes out with a trash can. She places the can next to her, pulls out a sports bra, and says she always hated Bra and Panties Matches. She brings out some BBQ sauce, gives a shout out to JR. Bischoff\u2019s book is in the trash, haha. She pulls it out, says they are still friends till this day. She reaches in, grabs the title, and pulls it out of the trash. She asks if this is what we wanted to see. She says it\u2019s a damned good belt, calls it a WRESTLING BELT. She says that the title is finally home where it belongs. She loves her career in wrestling. She calls it the highest honor to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. She is honored and humbled because there are so many others qualified to be there tonight. She shares this honor with them. She tells us not to give up on our dreams. She says for the younger fans, she is the reigning WWE Women\u2019s Champion. She\u2019s held this title for about 20 years or so. She currently drives a monster truck. She is a 2 time Monster Jam World Champ. She is proud to say she dominated two male dominated arenas. She goes all Ric Flair on us and gives herself a bunch of nicknames. She goes full promo and says that this Diva will never be subdued. She says thank you and goodnight.<\/p>\n -Tapout Ad-<\/i><\/p>\n We\u2019re back with Lawler, who brings up the ultimate unveiling. We go to Wrestlemania Axxess where they showed the Ultimate Warrior statue. Grab the tissues, guys\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cSTOP YOUR CRAZINESS\u201d<\/p>\n Hall of Famer: Conor The Crusher Induction Speech:<\/big><\/b><\/span> Big Show is crying, of course. We all are, ya big lug.<\/p>\n Even though she has wanted him back, she never had a dream to follow him. She knows that he would be so pissed if she didn\u2019t step up and stand up straight, and embody a Warrior woman, so that\u2019s exactly what she did. A wallflower cannot be married to a warrior, it would not be sustainable. She is a warrior, and that strength sustained her girls and her. This core strength was supported by many many people. She thanks them all. Thank you to her daughters, they have been her reason to get up and fight like mad to make them proud. She has never known a more fierce love than the love that they share. Please forgive her for any mistakes she has made this year, but know that she echos her father\u2019s awesome words \u2013 \u201cthe most awesome thing I will ever do is be your Mom.\u201d She thanks her Santa Fe tribe. Denise who showed up and gave her food she wasn\u2019t going to eat. Thanks to the entire Legion of Warriors, we truly held her up and carried her forward, and she loves us. Thank you to the WWE Universe. Thanks to the WWE Divas, Superstars, Corporate Office and production. This isn\u2019t just a company, it\u2019s a family, and she\u2019ll never forget what they\u2019ve done for her. One thing we should know about the roster is that they made her girls smile when she never thought they would do it again. She thanks all of them. Thank you WWE for easing the burden and shining a light into her girls\u2019 futures. She thankks Stephanie and Paul. They might be really bad guys, but they are really great friends. Finally, thanks to Auntie Deb. She called every single day. It\u2019s impossible to move on, but you must move forward.<\/p>\n When she thinks about this Warrior award, she sees her first public step forward. This is the first quantum leap. As a mother, she sees photos of Conor, and she is in awe. His vibrancy is a testament to the Warrior spirit. She says that the impact that his life had on those around him and his legacy is what makes Conor a warrior. Although Conor and her husband have taken their final breath, their legacies are ultimate. Conor was a magnificent example of a little Warrior whose giant heart left this planet a better place. What if his quest was to be the impotus for curing cancer? What if we took bold steps to make that happen? She is challenging every one of us to make a donation to Conor\u2019s Cure in the memory of The Ultimate Warrior. What greater gift can we give than to eradicate the disease that took Conor\u2019s life too soon?<\/p>\n She says that if we raise a Million Dollars in a month, she will go full Ultimate Warrior for us. She\u2019ll run to the ring, shake the ropes, and might even body slam someone. She has just the opponent in mind, too\u2026..BROTHER. haha. She\u2019s kidding. Nothing but love, especially tonight, and especially honoring this light of a child. Let\u2019s raise a million, and then a million more to help families fighting this disease like Warriors themselves. It is her privelage to turn the podium over to a true gentleman and a gentle man.<\/p>\n
\nInductor(s): The Usos<\/span><\/big><\/b><\/p>\n
\nAfter a video package we\u2019ve all seen, The Usos head out all smiles. They want to start off by saying that The Usos, and all of their family, are from the Bay Area. Loud pop. Tonight, they are honored and proud to induct a hometown boy, a former IC Champ, a Tag Team Champ\u2026Rikishi. They say they get the question all the time, how is it to grow up as Rikishi\u2019s son. They called it normal. They saw him on TV all the time, and that\u2019s the only way they got to see him. They saw him doing all kinds of characters, but there was one that stuck, it fit, it felt good, looked good. They remember the first time they saw this character on TV. It\u2019s not the blonde hair, no. It\u2019s not the 400 lb atheletically moving Samoan, no it wasn\u2019t the moves either. No that\u2019s not what they remember. This is what they remember:<\/p>\n
\nHe tells his son that they\u2019re going to have a talk after this, they went too deep in the shit talking. haha. He asks how we\u2019re doing, then, due to auditory problems, he asks again. He says he was backstage with Vinnie Mac and Triple H, and he wants the camera man to zoom in on his ring. He has his speech down.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/vj63wTr.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nInductor(s): Bruno Sammartino<\/span><\/big><\/b><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/EGFcdyh.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nInductor(s): Natalya<\/span><\/big><\/b><\/p>\n
\nNattie is a kitty kind of girl. She\u2019s got that fresh pink in her hair. She says little girls have big dreams. There are those that want to be princesses, those that want to be President, then there are girls that just want to kick some ass. Alundra is a woman ahead of her time. She is dominant and beautiful. When Alundra walked through that curtain 3 time woman\u2019s champ, she showed up to fight. She was also a revolutionary. One icon act of defiance would change the history of Sports Entertainment forever. When she took her WWE Women\u2019s Championship and through it in the trash on WCW TV. This moment was etched in time as what was part of the start of what we all know now as the Monday Night War. The gloves came off and it was one courageous act from this woman that started a revolution. When she first found out she would be inducting, Nattie had to tell someone and she is so glad she did because an awesome story came out of it that involves Arn Anderson.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/lt68Aca.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nInductor(s): Dana Warrior<\/span><\/big><\/b><\/p>\n
\nShe says she cannot tell us what an honor it is to stand in front of us tonight. A terrifying honor, but an honor nonetheless. A year ago, she sat in the crowd and watched her husband deliver an epic speech. She may have cried the entire way through it, but it was because that\u2019s what it evoked. She was truly, deeply proud. She believed in everything he stood for, the character he portrayed, and the depth of his personal character. She was proud to be his partner his biggest cheerleader, his soft place to fall, but most especially, proud to be called his wife. Losing him was an unspeakable blow. It felt like someone physically removed a part of her body. They dont\u2019 tell you about the physical pain. It was like losing the air in her lungs, the beat of her heart. That kind of sadness could swallow a person whole, if you hadn\u2019t spent 20 years with a man who embodied a warrior, and he gave a little of that to her along the way.<\/p>\n
