I believe WWE.com did not show the first half this year so big fat middle finger to them and unless I missed something wasn't Ted Jr going to inducted his father?

I can't see myself ever skipping watching this, but every year it's so stripped down and edited I wonder why I bother. Sometimes I think I would rather have the whole thing not edited or timed for TV or nothing at all. It's almost tough to get much out of it.

Ted DiBiase is my all-time favorite heel, so even under these circumstances, I loved seeing him go into the Hall of Fame. I look forward to the full version of this when I get the WrestleMania DVD. I liked Dick Ebersol's story about Bob Uecker agreeing to do WrestleMania and while it was short, Betty Wagner accepting for Gorgeous George was neat. Not sure why WWE announced her as inducting him when what she did was accept.

I don't know if it was edited, but one thing I did notice was the crowd wasn't a huge distraction this time. It's okay to cheer, but the chants from past years have always disgusted me. This is not an arena show, and people should behave themselves as such.

Not only that, but it was Jerry Lawler that introduced Ted, Sr. AND Betty Wagner, and the only way we saw the Destroyer was in the same Gorgeous George vidpack we saw on Raw 2 weeks ago. The blame lies with both WWE (for being incredibly short-sighted by not webcasting the HOF this year) and USA.

I watched the show, taking a break from watching the remainder of the 3 Stooges DVD I started the night before. I'm sorry, but the structure of the show needs to be changed for next year.

They blew it by not having Bret's acceptance speech for Stu Hart air in its entirety. Remember, part of the Bret-Vince angle on Raw had to do with Stu going into the HOF. If they cut the Uecker part down to two segments by eliminating an extra teaser, we mght've gotten it.

Ted Dibiase was great on the mic and great in the ring. The man should have been World Champion.
