The lineup for induction for 2015's WWE Hall of Fame class is currently being revealed. However, it's absolutely not too early to began contemplating the who, what and why of 2016's induction class for Dallas, Texas' turn at hosting Wrestlemania. With 100,000 seats to fill at Wrestlemania at Texas Stadium, the hall of fame ceremony will likely be quite star-studded too with more fans than usual in town. Of course, Dallas was the home of the World Class promotion, which intriguingly featured a significant number of great wrestlers who never had a shot in the WWF/WWE, so the potential for inductees with minimal WWE renown is quite high. As well, given current trends in inductions, there are some likely targets. Furthermore, if looking at a list of semi-retired grapplers who are of a level of mainstream awareness enough to warrant induction, the ceremony could be filled with some ridiculously absurd highlights that would fulfill expectations of the characters portrayed by those being inducted. After reading this list, do understand that the 2016 WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony broadcast could easily be one of the most entertaining broadcast events in pro wrestling history.
