Triple H Explains How Exactly Hall Of Fame Inductees Are Determined
Deciding who makes it into the Hall of Fame each year isn't down to just one man after all. Well, sort of.
Two classes will be inducted into WWE's Hall of Fame this week. As always, some fans have accused WWE of inducting people who aren't worthy of the Hall. This year, The Great Khali and The Bella Twins have come under fire. Not to mention William Shatner and Ozzy Osbourne who will join WWE's celebrity wing. The suggestion by some is that WWE is already running out of people to induct.
The thing is, those names mentioned above will be joined by the likes of Kane and Eric Bischoff who almost definitely deserve HoF rings. Plus there are still a number of stars from the past worthy of an induction who remain out in the cold. Triple H has shed a little light on how exactly inductees are decided in the hope fans will understand the process a little better.

"There’s a lot of people that put a suggestion on it... writing teams, you have people in television production, so across the board, there’s a lot of people that have input into it," The Game explained on Pardon My Take. "We get to a base of more people than we need, and then Vince makes the final call on where it’s gonna go from there."
Even though Vince McMahon gets the final say on who goes in, as expected, he fields ideas from a lot more people than fans might realize. Triple H also explained what goes into deciding who will make it in, even explaining the boss tries to avoid inducting more than one person at a time who might be considered a little "dry".
"Let’s wait and put this dry guy in next year because we’re gonna put this dry guy in already this year, so balance it out," Triple H said when explaining McMahon's thought process. Warning to any HoFers reading this, take a look at the class you went in with and try to pick out the "dry guy". If you can't figure out who it is, then it's probably you.
