Speaking of the Hall of Fame - I know they did Kid Rock likely for the Undertaker tonight, but it was clear that he wasn't a good pick, at least not for this year. I'm not saying he shouldn't be in it, but it would have been better overall in maybe 5-10 years from now; after more people forget that they hated him.
I haven't finished it yet, but IMO it has been interesting:
1. Duddleys incorporated Edge and Christian + The Hardyz, there were lots of verbal shots back and forth between them all which was entertaining as hell. I loved the moment when Christian tried to induct himself into the Hall of Fame and the crowd chanted "You deserve it!"
2. Hillbilly Jim - looks REALLY good for his age as a wrestler (usually 65 year old wrestlers look like 85-year-old normal people, this guy looked a bit older than Bubba Ray and D-Von, even though he's old enough to be their father), the fact that he had a really articulate speech surprised people, but he's been a radio personality for a long time now - so it shouldn't be surprising.
3. Ivory - I swear, she's a vampire, she doesn't look a day older than she was in 1999; and, looked about the same in her GLOW days. She likened her speech to a wedding, and it really came off like a wedding reception speech; she seemed a little champagned up. As usual, lots of praise going toward Molly Holly.
4. Kid Rock - meh
5. Jeff Jarrett - totally did not disappoint - brought up A LOT about Owen Hart. It seems Owen and Molly Holly might be the two most loved people by other wrestlers of the "gen X" generation. This speech didn't disappoint, it was great.
6. Ultimate Warrior got inducted into the Hall of Fame for the 4th time...
7. Jarrius Robertson kept his speech short and sweet and was entertaining. He even stood up for Roman Reigns, which was cool.
That's as far as I've got, the thing's like 5 hours, and there's still 1.5 hours left for Mark Henry and Goldberg which I'll get to tomorrow (got the day off).
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
