WWE News Jim Ross identifies three top WWE HOF candidates, predicts Randy Savage’s chances are “slim and none” Feb 21, 2008 - 09:20 AM Email This Article | Printer Friendly Page Send Us News & Results | Back to Main Listing Jim Ross is doing a weekly interview series with the Daytona Beach News-Journal leading up to WrestleMania 24. This week, he commented on the possible Hall of Fame inductees. “As I wrote in a blog last week on JRsbarbq.com, my sense of this year’s WWE Hall of Fame class is that it will have somewhat of a Florida flavor to it. “I have lobbied for Gordon Solie, the Brisco Brothers, and Eddie Graham to be inducted for quite some time. Whether they all make the induction list remains to be seen. Mae Young looks to be the leading female candidate and would be, I think, the oldest WWE Hall of Famer inducted... Certainly all the names mentioned (by the interviewer) have distinguished themselves and are Hall of Fame level performers, but Randy ‘Macho Man’ Savage’s chances are slim and none, and old slim just left town. That particular ship has sailed.” Powell’s POV: Ross has been diplomatic regarding Savage in many of his blog posts. Clearly, there is tension between the Macho Man and Vince McMahon, which is a shame because Savage certainly had a Hall of Fame-worthy career. Of the names Ross listed, I would be shocked if the Brisco brothers don't get in given Jerry’s longtime role with the company.
