Eric Bischoff has stirred up anticipation for the upcoming WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. Although no names have been announced for the ceremony yet, Eric has shared his list of various legendary acts that he thinks should be inducted in the class of 2024.
While on the 83 Weeks podcast, the former WCW executive suggested that figures like Bray Wyatt, Lex Luger and Demolition should be inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame this year. He explained that Wyatt rightfully deserves his place in the Hall of Fame as his character changed the industry.
“Bray Wyatt, I think, for obvious reasons, Bray Wyatt was a character that changed the industry. Bray’s character brought another layer of character creative and kind of what’s possible to the entire industry. Without question, Bray Wyatt. “
“Lex Luger would be number one on my list … I admire Lex. He inspires me. I aspire to be as good of a human being as Lex has become. He’s an amazing guy who’s overcome so much … I see Demolition as a long shot for a lot of other reasons. And it’s backstory, it’s legal issues, and things like that. Perhaps those issues aren’t as prevalent now with the new leadership.”
Eric noted Wyatt’s huge impact in the wrestling industry and said that his character brought a new creative layer to the sport. Last summer, Wyatt tragically died at the age of 36. Since his passing, fans have been pushing WWE to induct him posthumously into the Hall of Fame this year to honor his life and career.
Eric also highlighted 1994 Royal Rumble co-winner Luger’s as a possible inductee. He clarified that he may have been for the Hall of Fame induction due to his out-of-ring antics.
Moving on in the discussion, Eric also mentioned Demolition, Bill Eadie, who played the role of Demolition Ax. He believes that the legendary tag team was denied an entry to the Hall of Fame because they were involved in a class action lawsuit against the promotion in 2016 over alleged traumatic brain injuries.
Meanwhile, the WWW Hall of Fame ceremony is scheduled to be held on April 5th following WWE Smackdown. It remains to be seen if WWE takes Eric’s suggestions and inducts Bray Wyatt in to the Hall of Fame. Stay tuned to Ringside News for more!
