WWE HALL OF FAME UPDATES

By Mike Johnson on 2017-03-14 13:22:00

With WWE announcing the "Warrior Award" winner yesterday, I asked around within WWE about the expected induction of William Regal (which we reported several weeks ago and mentioned again yesterday on PWInsider.com) not being announced instead as the last several years, the Warrior Award has been the last announcement.  Two different sources within the company told me this afternoon told me that they did not believe Regal was still planned to be inducted this year. 

No word on a Celebrity inductee yet.  One would think it would have been Shaquille O'Neal this year, but that's obviously not happening.  The one who is most blatantly missing from the Hall is Cyndi Lauper but she is on tour in Australia Wrestlemania weekend, so that would eliminate her.  Maybe they will finally get around to honoring Regis Philbin?

We are told there have been plans for another round of "Legacy" inductees, but no word yet what names could be included.
