It&#8217;s great to see him finally get the recognition. It will be interesting to see who delivers his induction speech and who accepts on his behalf. His family was contacted a while back about the induction, so I assume they will be involved in some fashion. Paul Heyman, who has spoken very highly of Rude over the years, would be a great choice for the induction speech, but WWE may have another idea.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wwe.com\/shows\/wwe-hall-fame\/wwe-hall-of-fame-2017\/article\/ricky-steamboat-induct-rick-rude-wwe-hall-of-fame?sf60464898=1\">WWE<\/a> announced\u00a0that Ricky Steamboat will deliver the induction speech.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-4229897983\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WWE has announced that Rick&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1131,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4],"tags":[174,1478,101,319],"class_list":["post-20883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsticker","category-wwe_news","tag-paul-heyman","tag-rick-rude","tag-wwe","tag-wwe-hall-of-fame"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
