Bob Backlund, Mick Foley and Booker T will be left out of the televised WWE Hall of Fame inductions next week. The televised portion of the inductions will only include Bruno Sammartino, Trish Stratus and Donald Trump. linkWhat a ripoff. There will be a HOF DVD released where you can see all of the inductions, but that won't reach nearly as many people as the televised show will on USA. Backlund held the title for almost 6 years, but they'd rather have Trump? Foley has done more for the hardcore side of the business than anyone, and they're leaving him out? As big as this years HOF class is, business wise, they couldn't secure a big enough time slot to include them all? What a smack in the face to Backlund and Foley. Sucks for Booker T as well. Just wrong IMO.

I just read that they are going to put Foley's speech in. Hopefully that's true.

Well, Foley's being inducted by Terry Funk and not only is that fitting, it's f***ing awesome. So, part of that needs to be on TV. Backlund is being inducted by Maria Menounos...WTF?? So, as much as I think Backlund deserves better, why would you want to show that? Why would she induct him? That just sucks to me as a guy that grew up with Backlund as champ. I don't know who is inducting Booker and I hate to sound like I'm not as pissed about him, but I'm not.

Triple H is still a bitter b!tch about Foley, isn't he? Hunter, you lost your spot years ago! There is nothing to protect! You can't change the past! You can't change the fact that Foley made you, dammit! STOP TRYING!
b!tch.

Why is Trump getting TV time? I certainly understand Bruno, and I get Trish since she's being inducted by Stephanie. But Trump over Backlund or Foley? I wonder if Bruno is aware of this? I can't seeing him happy about it if he is. This one is about him mostly for sure, and it should be IMO. But I can't see him happy it'll be him, Trish and Trump that people see on TV.

I don't even know who that chick inducting Backlund is.

She's done WWE stuff before, but mainly known for Access Hollywood and Extra.

What a random and stupid choice she is.

Aye. Backlund deserves better. Maybe bring in one of the hundreds of heels he feuded with to induct him. Greg Valentine would be a good one, even Patterson. They had a great run in 79. I just don't get it.

They were probably scared of Foley ripping them, and he would have made them look really dumb. So, just Backlund and Booker left off. Still don't see why they couldn't fit the whole class in, just doesn't seem right.

Why can't they just present it live like they should. What's so important USA has to play that night?

Nothing important ever airs on USA.

Hell, go back to putting in online, the whole show. Come on, who care about Trump? It should be Bruno, Foley, Backlund and Stratus.
