[Sadie]

Cool thread, I am wondering whether or not Owen will ever get in. I am happy for Steamboat and Austin nonetheless.

[Mike]

Thanks. Yeah Owen deserves it but I think it's his wife holding out. Austin/Steamboat are great editions to this year's. Not too big on the Funks but what can you do?

[Mike]

While it has yet to be officially confirmed, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is expected to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by his arch enemy, Vince McMahon. This is according to columnist Ken Hoffman of the Houston Chronicle.

Other former wrestlers expected to be confirmed for the Hall of Fame include "Cowboy" Bill Watts and the Von Erich Family. Watts will likely be inducted by Jim Ross whereas the Von Erich Family is expected to be inducted by head SmackDown creative team writer and former rival Michael "P.S." Hayes.

Other names confirmed for the Hall include Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and the legendary brother duo of Terry and Dory Funk, Jr.

[Mike]

Tonight Bill Watts was added to the group.

[Mike]

In a surprise, Koko B. Ware has been added to this year's WWE Hall of Fame.

[Mike]

On Friday Night SmackDown, they've announced that the Von Erichs will join this year's class.

[Mike]

As announced on ECW, Howard Finkle is the newest member to join the ballot. Good for him as he's been around for years and is still the only guy to appear at every single Mania.

He's been noted to be the last entrant to this year's class so it seems that we have seen everyone that will be in. So that means once again no Owen.

[Sadie]

The Fink def deserves it. This class lacks though. It started out great with Steamboat and Austin then it just went downhill.

[Mike]

Yeah they usually tend to do that. I'm pumped for the Fink he's the only man to be at every single Mania.

[Mike]

Austin/Steamboat and the others have all officially been inducted. I have it on my DVR, but I have yet to watch I need to make time to do so.
