This one is less difficult to project given recent rumors.
PWInsider Elite reports, by way of WrestlingInc.com, that WWE plans to induct the entire main event from the inaugural WrestleMania event into this year's Hall.
The idea being pitched within WWE would see Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper, Mr. T and Paul Orndorff to be inducted, making it the first time ever that a match itself is inducted into the Hall of Fame. It's possible that Jimmy Snuka and Bob Orton, who also participated in the WrestleMania I main event, could be inducted as well. Inducting a match into the Hall of Fame opens the door for similar inductions in the future.
The idea is an interesting one in that it pays tribute to the first WrestleMania main event some 30 years later and, at the same time, results in second inductions for Hogan, Piper, Orndorff and, potentially, Snuka and Orton.
It would also see Mr. T take his place in the Hall, something that should have happened years ago given his importance to the first two WrestleMania events.
Whether Orndorff, Snuka and Orton deserve second inductions that would put them in the same class as the legendary Ric Flair, Hogan and Piper is arguable, but it is a fresh, original idea from the company as it attempts to preserve some of the remaining big names for future induction ceremonies.
