The night before WWE's WrestleMania XXX pay-per-view, the WWE will hold its annual Hall of Fame ceremony live from the New Orleans Arena on April 5, and while two big names have been released so far for the event, there are several other rumored names for the ceremony.
According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, there are several more names being discussed regarding being inducted into the 2014 Hall of Fame on the eve of WrestleMania XXX. The WWE has already revealed that The Ultimate Warrior and Jake "The Snake' Roberts will join the Class of 2014, while the report indicates that another big name similar to those two top stars from the late 1980s and early 1990s may also be inducted.
Another name that has been conjured for the Hall is the late Paul Bearer, who passed away last year just before WrestleMania XXIX. Bearer is mostly known for managing The Undertaker and then later Kane during his stint in the WWE.
There were reports last month that the WWE was planning on inducting the WrestleMania I main event that saw the team of Hulk Hogan and Mr. T defeat "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff back in 1985 into the Hall of Fame. It would become the first match to make the Hall, and the WWE is trying to do it on the heels of rumors that they re-signed Hogan to make an appearance at WrestleMania XXX on April 6 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
According to the report, the WWE has tried to come to terms with Mr. T several times over the years but he has always turned them down. Wrestligheadlines.com reports that the WWE is really pushing Mr. T to accept the invite, but he hasn't yet. The company wants to induct the match and its participants into the Hall together.
Another rumored name is Danny Hodge, who made a name for himself in the wrestling world in the 1960's in New Orleans. The report indicates that the belief within the WWE is that if Hodge is ever to get in, with WrestleMania taking place in Louisiana this is his chance.
There have also been a couple of divas names popping up, as Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley has made a push for trying to land Stacy Keibler to a deal with the company while Lita's name has also popped up to follow in the footsteps of Trish Stratus getting enshrined last year.
It remains to be seen who the WWE will finalize into the Hall of Fame this year, but plenty of names are being discussed.
