The Rock coming to WWE Hall of Fame ceremony?
WrestleMania XXIV is seven weeks away, which means WWE will soon begin announcing its Hall of Fame class for this year’s induction ceremony, which takes place the night before WrestleMania in Orlando, Fla.
It’s widely believed that Ric Flair will go in this year, and The Wrestling Observer has reported that there is a good possibility that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will be on hand to induct both his father, Rocky Johnson, and grandfather, the late Peter Maivia.
The presence of “The Nature Boy” and “The Great One” on the same stage would make this possibly the most memorable WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony ever.
There had been speculation that Johnson was going to do the honors for his father and grandfather at last year’s ceremony, but he reportedly was unable to because of schedule conflicts. Johnson is scheduled to begin filming the Disney movie Witch Mountain next month.
It would be great to see Johnson rubbing elbows with his former peers at a WWE function. It would be even greater if he could be persuaded to make a special appearance the next night at WrestleMania, even if he just did a run-in like Hulk Hogan did at WrestleMania 21.
Better yet, how entertaining would a verbal confrontation between Johnson and Santino Marella be? Dare to dream.

The Rock and Santino would be an instant "WrestleMania Moment". The only thing better would be to have The Rock, Mick Foley and then another run in with Stone Cold for poor ol Santino.

Rock inducting his grandfather and father in to the HOF is great, and making an appearience on WM would be good.But to make WM memorial he should interfere for Ref the finlay vs mcmahon match at WM. and finally give vince what he missed on the anniversary show.

Even better would be The Rock vs MVP. I find Santino funny, but I think The Rock should come back and put over the new class. (MVP, Kennedy, Elijah Burke, CM Punk) Guys who really have both the mic skills and in-ring skills.
Also Rocky should fight others he hasn't faced one-on-one. (HBK, Orton, Rey)

The Rock has come back to the wwe hall of fame, and what a hall of fame its going to be. The only thing that would make me happier is to see Owen Hart in it as well.
