WWE News: First inductee for 2014 Hall of Fame confirmed

The late Paul Bearer (a/k/a William Moody) will be posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame next year at WrestleMania 30. The UK sun confirmed the rumor with WWE and announced it today at http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/wrestling/4919505/WWE-News-Paul-Bearer-set-to-be-inducted-into-WWE-Hall-of-Fame.html.

Shore's Slant: No real surprise with this announcement. In fact, many were surprised Moody was inducted this year, but I understand waiting until next year when they are closer to Moody's original wrestling heyday. Let the speculation begin as to who will deliver the induction speech. I would love to see Undertaker do it, but there are others who would fit the mold and not have to break character to do it, even though that's not a huge deal at the Hall of Fame ceremony.
