So the obvious highlights to me were The Dudleyz & EC at the start, Mark Henry towards the end and I'll also throw some love to the Warrior recipient. That kid was hilarious and so uplifting, I usually don't like those speeches, but that was one that got it right. Goldberg wasn't bad, but by the time I got to the end of it (and I watched this thing in three pieces) and was all just too much. Kid Rock was terrible, the rest were OK.
The biggest thing to me about the show is just how unnecessary Jerry Lawler is to the proceedings. I mean Jerry comes out, talks about whoever is about to get introduced by their inductors, they show a video package that is way too long on the person, then the inductors come out, say a lot of the same things Jerry said, they introduce the person, then that person talks - usually for 5 minutes too long. If you cut out Jerry -except maybe at the beginning to introduce the show as a whole and the end to thank everyone and wrap up - shorten the video packages by a good 30%, you are well on your way to making the show more manageable to enjoy before even addressing that these speeches should be on some sort of time limit.
