Business is already picking up for the 2020 WWE Hall of Fame class as it was confirmed today that Dave Bautista and the NWO will be inducted next year.
ESPN broke the news that four core members of the group, Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Sean Waltman, will be the ones getting inducted.
“You’ve got four guys that were basically going at Vince as a shoot, pushing hard to actually try to take over,” Hogan told ESPN. “Not put him out of business but basically take his spot and be the No. 1 company. All of a sudden, you’re inducting four guys in the Hall of Fame that 20 years ago were trying to stab you in the back. It’s like Vince says: In the WWE, never say never.”
Kevin Nash also shared his thoughts on why the group worked so well.
“The reason why this worked was the crowd was under the impression both Diesel and Razor Ramon from the WWE were going down to Turner and basically taking over, gonna take over their program,” Nash said. “And then when Hulk joined — he was basically the standard of WWE — you couldn’t have had a better situation. You had two top guys, and then you had the face of WWE all joining.”
The WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place from the Amalie Arena in Tampa, FL on Thursday, April 2.
