WWE considering digital inductions for 2022 Hall of Fame ceremony
The 2022 WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony is just a few weeks away, and with the announcements of The Undertaker and Vader as inductees, it is shaping up to be a Hall of Fame class to remember.
The biggest induction for this year's ceremony is, without a doubt, The Undertaker. The Deadman's wrestling career spanned over four decades, leading him to become one of the most iconic superstars of all time.
With such a stupendous inductee as The Undertaker, Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that some of the other inductees may only get a digital induction during the ceremony.
“One thing I’ve heard also [is] because The Undertaker’s Hall Of Fame thing is gonna be so big – they’re only doing the 90-minute window because they’re doing the show from 10.30 to midnight Eastern, 9.30 til 11 local time because of the lateness and everything like that.” Meltzer added:“I’ve heard they may announce this class but some of the people it’ll happen but it will be like digital inductions in some of the cases opposed to the usual number of 8 I think it is.” H/T IT Wrestling
Meltzer then went on to say how both Undertaker and Vader's induction will get grand treatment from World Wrestling Entertainment.
“The Undertaker is gonna get the big, grand treatment. I would presume Vader would, he was a really big star but a lot of the other guys, there’s been talk of – again with 90 minutes, not doing them as part of that ceremony but just doing it digitally.” H/T IT Wrestling
Received an overwhelming response to the news. Thank you to everyone who reached out but for now, I’ll say this… it’s been a wild ride … headed to the #WWEHOF! ⚱️ twitter.com/WWE/status/149…
The Undertaker's addition to the Hall of Fame may be the biggest induction that the company has done to date.
