The annual WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony never fails to entertain. With kayfabe being thrown out the window, you never know what you're going to see.

The event offers an opportunity for professional wrestlers of both yesteryear and present to get together and celebrate the business we all know and love. Just seeing so many legends in one place is worth the price of admission on its own.

While the red carpet offers the glitz and glamour, it's the speeches that most fans tune in to hear and see. Whether it's touching tributes, hilarious stories or can't-miss moments, the ceremony has become a WrestleMania weekend viewing staple.

This year's Hall of Fame ceremony was no different. Comprised of diverse inductees, the Class of 2016's speeches touched our hearts and made us cry with laughter.

These are just 13 of the incredible moments from the 2016 Hall of Fame induction ceremony...

13. APA's Reunion

The Attitude Era was filled to the brim with charismatic teams, but the pair that stole the show every week was the Acolytes Protection Agency, or APA for short.

The duo of Bradshaw (John Bradshaw Layfield) and Faarooq (Ron Simmons) reunited to induct The Godfather into the Hall of Fame. To the delight of the crowd, the beer-swillin' duo attempted to tell some risque road stories about the man they referred to as the third Acolyte.

As JBL vaguely recalled some Godfather tales, Simmons constantly had to cut off his best friend in order to keep the show PG. The one line of "I still have the munchies from riding with him" sent the crowd into a rapture.

Bradshaw reciting the story of the APA assisting The Godfather in recruiting members for the ho train each week - then backtracking to spare Simmons backlash from his wife - was the icing on the cake.
