- Here's a look at the 2013 WWE Hall of Fame class and the latest word on who their possible inductors are:

* Bruno Sammartino - Arnold Schwarzenegger

* Mick Foley - Terry Funk or Jim Ross, or possibly both of them at the same time.

* Bob Backlund - Sgt. Slaughter or Maria Menounos. Maria and Backlund are good friends and have worked together on a project in the past.

* Trish Stratus - it could end up being Lita or Fit Finlay.

* Donald Trump - his daughter Ivanka Trump.

The Hall of Fame is shaping up to be better than Mania itself.

WWE HALL OF FAME UPDATES
By Mike Johnson on 2013-02-27 12:17:58

There are plans to have 1-2 more inductees for the 2013 WWE Hall of Fame class. Ivan Koloff and Kamala's names have been discussed. The company has reached out to at least Kamala about being inducted.

As I noted in the PWInsider Elite section, Bruno Sammartino's induction will headline the ceremony. The company hopes to have Arnold Schwarzenegger induct him, something Bruno intends to talk to Arnold about when he is inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame during the Arnold Classic.

In regards to the other scheduled inductees, it's expected that Terry Funk and/or Jim Ross (possibly both) will induct Mick Foley. The company is considering Maria Menounos for Bob Backlund as the two are friends and obviously, WWE would love for the celebrity rub. Sgt. Slaughter's name has also been brought up for Backlund as has, interestingly enough, Roddy Piper.

In speaking around to those in the company, it was believed Donald Trump would most likely be inducted by a member of his family, possibly Ivanka Trump.

There's no word on Trish Stratus' inductor yet, although as I noted in the Elite section, Lita and/or Dave Finley would make the most sense. They could also go with Edge as they are both from Toronto and were trained by Ron Hutchison at the same school.

Ivan would be nice. Met him once. Really great guy. Love the HOF class this year though.

I know Bruno was once "the man" the face of an era and money maker but he turned his back on the buisness whilist Mick Foley has given everything and more to the WWE the fact Foley isn't headling his own Hall of Fame is appaling to me as a fan.

^The same reason Hulk Hogan headlined Hall of Fame even though he tried to destroy WWE by joining WCW

As much as people shit on celebrities, they were one of the main factors which made WrestleMania 1 a success. If it weren't for the mainstream involvement of Mr. T ( who was in the main event), Cyndi Lauper, Liberace, Muhammad Ali, WrestleMania would probably have never done as well as it did.
