10 Ways WWE Could Improve Hall Of Fame

6. Limit The Number Of Inductions

The WWE Hall Of Fame has inducted as many as 11 individuals (in 2014) to as few as 1 individual (1993) since it was created nearly 23 years ago. With the ceremony now serving primarily as a live event and WWE Network special, the timing and pacing of the show would be best served by limiting the number of annual inductions. In addition to the current day WWE superstars, who have to perform on the biggest show of the year the next day, fans in attendance often get restless by the time the event concludes, which is sometimes four hours after it starts. While WWE has always struggled to accurately pace out their shows, inducting more than 6 honourees an evening really puts the pressure on the producers to time everything out well enough. Unfortunately, the number of inductions consistently exceeds 6 and it's no coincidence that the event typically extends beyond 3.5 hours. With a general plan that each induction will be given a maximum of 30 minutes (including promotional video, introduction, and speech), that would keep the event at a respectable 3 hours. It also has the indirect effect of making the honourees that much more prestigious because of the limited number of spots. Even in the Hall Of Fame, the boys are fighting for their spot, bringing everything full circle.
