WWE got right out of the chute before tickets went on sale a couple weeks ago in announcing that Sting will headline the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2016. He very well could be the biggest name announced unless The Undertaker is inducted in his home state, of course. But with the Hall of Fame ceremony less than nine weeks away, WWE will want to start naming more honorees soon. No fewer than six performers, groups or celebrities have been inducted the past four years (with last years ceremony honouring eight), and given WWEs typical method of rolling out one new inductee per week, it stands to reason that we could find out the next person (or persons) Monday. Rumored names for the ceremony this year include the Fabulous Freebirds (fitting since its in Texas), Stan Hansen, Vader, JBL and Regis Philbin. Of course, rumors are like opinions, so you have to take each one with a grain (or a lick) of salt.

He fondly remembers watching WrestleMania III, IV, V and VI and Saturday Night's Main Event, came back to wrestling during the Attitude Era, and has been a consumer of sports entertainment since then. He's written for WhatCulture for more than a decade, establishing the Ups and Downs articles for WWE Raw and WWE PPVs/PLEs and composing pieces on a variety of topics.
