Hulk Hogan, drinking and live on the Bubba the Love Sponge radio show this afternoon (Hogan will be Bubba’s best man at his wedding this weekend), took a call from Vince McMahon’s secretary Ann Russo and left it on speaker phone for all to hear. The call revealed that the following are being considered for the WWE Hall of Fame inductions this spring:
Von Erichs
Macho Man
Ric Flair
Dusty Rhodes
Big Bossman
Million Dollar Man
Brooklyn Brawler
Rocky Johnson
The Shiek
Ultimate Warrior
Mr. T
Muhommad Ali
Mr. Fuji
Nick Bockwinkel
Mike Tyson
Howard Finkel
Jim Ross
Ken Patera
King Curtis
Jake Roberts
Honky Tonk Man
Dick Ebersol
Afa & Sika
Bob Backlund
Rick Rude
Bushwhackers
When asked for his picks, Hogan said Bossman, Curtis, Dusty, Savage, the Samoans, the Von Erichs, Rude, Bushwhackers and Finkel.
According to Pulse Wrestling’s Tom Pandich, others may have been listed, and Vince McMahon called him later on in the show, but supposedly for an unrelated reason. Thanks to John Hartge for also sending this to us, and credit to WrestlingObserver.com for filling in some of the names missing from our initial report. We’ll have more on this as it’s available.
