One thing to watch out once Wrestlemania 32 comes around is whom the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) would be inducting into the WWE Hall of Fame.
To recall, the following made up the class of 2015 WWE Hall of Fame inductees
1. Randy "Macho Man" Savage
2. Arnold Schwarzenegger
3. Kevin Nash
4. Rikishi
5. The Bushwackers
6. Alundra Blayze
7. Larry Zbyszko
8. Tatsumi Fujinami
Although Wrestlemania 32 is still a full seven months away, rumors are now starting to flow on who the next batch of inductees would possibly be. Wrestlemania 32 will be held at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas on April 3, 2016.
Michael Hayes and the Fabulous Freebirds are reportedly shoo-ins to make the list, especially considering Hayes has been with the WWE for the past 20 years. Aside from that milestone, Hayes has been a key figure in the WWE creative team.
The Fabulous Freebirds include Hayes as the group leader, the late Buddy Roberts (died in 2012) and Terry Gordy (died in 2001). Although the group hasn't really been a familiar fixture in the WWE scene, the Fabulous Freebirds were best known in the World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW).
Jimmy Garvin is another member that was included in the mix, although not part of the original three. It remains to be seen if Garvin would be recognized alongside Hayes at the induction ceremonies next year.
Come Wrestlemania 32, Hayes is expected to render a speech that will most likely pay tribute to his departed colleagues.
The Freebird Rule — something that allowed any two of the three members to defend the tag team titles on any given night — is currently being used by current WWE Tag Team titleholders The New Day.
On a side note, another wrestler who has since been out of the WWE scene seems to be going places in Hollywood.
Dave Batista has been active in the film industry lately as he is set to star in "Marauders" opposite Bruce Willis. Other than that, the Animal is also set to appear in "Bushwick" where he will play the role of a war veteran opposite Jane Levy.
