WrestleMania XXIV is seven weeks away, which means WWE will soon begin announcing its Hall of Fame class for this year’s induction ceremony, which takes place the night before WrestleMania in Orlando, Fla.
It’s widely believed that Ric Flair will go in this year, and The Wrestling Observer has reported that there is a good possibility that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will be on hand to induct both his father, Rocky Johnson, and grandfather, the late Peter Maivia.
The presence of “The Nature Boy” and “The Great One” on the same stage would make this possibly the most memorable WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony ever.
There had been speculation that Johnson was going to do the honors for his father and grandfather at last year’s ceremony, but he reportedly was unable to because of schedule conflicts. Johnson is scheduled to begin filming the Disney movie Witch Mountain next month.
It would be great to see Johnson rubbing elbows with his former peers at a WWE function. It would be even greater if he could be persuaded to make a special appearance the next night at WrestleMania, even if he just did a run-in like Hulk Hogan did at WrestleMania 21.
Better yet, how entertaining would a verbal confrontation between Johnson and Santino Marella be? Dare to dream.
