Why is it always news sites like ESPN/TMZ/NBC that "break the news" that someone is going into the Hall of Fame than, say, the WWE making the announcement on RAW?

When the drug test comes back positive for performance enhancing drugs.
There are a lot of women who deserve to be in this dumb and fake hall of fame before Beth Phoenix, and it'll be very surprising if Chyna isn't in this year's class, considering that she died within the last year.

Chyna will never be in the WWE HOF while Stephanie and HHH are still alive.

Donald Trump did more for the WWE than Beth Phoenix.

Also Sable and Chyna should be inducted before loving Beth Phoenix. Hell, Melina should be inducted before her-

Agreed. It's much better to put in like 5 max per year and give them 20 minutes for a speech than cramming in 8 or 9 with short speeches and then running through big entries so quick.

So it looks like Shaq and Big Show ain't happening. Shaq said it's pretty much a no go on some podcast plus he's in absolutely no physical condition anyway.

So...sad for the 5 people who cared?

Represent.
I know that the WWE Hall of Fame contains some wrestlers that never worked for WWE, but I wonder if that would ever extend to somebody like Andy Kaufman for the Celebrity Wing.

Given his ties to Lawler and how pivotal he was to getting some mainstream attention for pro wrestling, I wonder if he will ever make it in. Or is he one step too far removed? Or do they want to avoid mentioning even Kaufman's version of intergender wrestling these days?

The whole point of the celeb thing is media attention and since Kaufman is dead and can't be there, they don't care.

there's no chance. that's was a weird time and situation, and until late last year, WWE wouldn't consider people who had done intergender wrestling.
