WWE have canceled inductor speeches for the WWE Hall of Fame, which is bad news for Rob Van Dam, Hulk Hogan’s nWo, Kane, Eric Bischoff, JBL, The Bella Twins, Molly Holly, and The Great Khali. So sadly, we won’t get to see an epic induction speech by Paul Heyman or Sabu. WWE Hall of Famer Edge Was ‘Furious’ With A WWE Title Match Winner. Speeches will largely be limited to 5 minutes.
PWInsider.com reported, “In many, if not all cases, WWE ran a video package for each inductee then introduced them to give a speech accepting the honor.”
A WWE Hall of Fame t-shirt has leaked as well, and although Titus O’Neil will be inducted, he isn’t on the shirt, but Ozzy Osbourne is, despite just being announced. You can view a photo below.
