There are warning signs all over the building to warn fans that inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated. The signs warn that poor behavior will lead to an immediate ejection from the ceremony.

Host Jerry Lawler opened the ceremony. He mentioned Hulk Hogan, which received a negative reaction from the crowd. Lawler said that there is only one person who bleeds red, white, and blue - "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan.

"The Million Dollar Man" told stories of Duggan being a star athlete in high school and being drafted by the Atlanta Falcons. He then told stories of Duggan in Georgia Championship Wrestling. He talked about Duggan beating cancer and then introduced him.

Bob Armstrong inducted by sons Brian (Road Dogg), Scott, and Brad:

Agahzi wrote: Lawler introduced Road Dogg, Scott, and Brad Armstrong. Dogg did his schtick and then thanked the WWE for all they've done for his family. He then gave his dad a special Road Dogg intro. Bullet Bob talked about how his wife held the family together. He then talked about growing up watching Gorgeous George and how he inspired him to get into wrestling. He hot choked up and thanked everyone.

All of the Divas handled the introduction of Sunny. LayCool were over the top nice while introducing her, according to Robert. They called her the original Diva that started it all.

She talked about Jim Cornette giving her an opportunity. She talked about getting a call from WWE and thinking it was for Chris, but it was for her. She talked about auditioning and getting the job hosting Live Event Weekend as Tamara Murphy. From there she talked about the formation of the Sunny character. She talked managing a bunch of tag team champions. She said tonight puts the debate to rest over who The Original Diva is. She then thanked her family.

Nick Johnson wrote: Short speech by Abdullah. Great to see an "Abdullah" chant go down. He mentioned that the man upstairs takes care of him. Also, those gnarly cuts on his forehead seem larger in person. Road Warriors are next... still no Drew Carey? Expecting huge heat.

Abdullah talked about getting a call from Johnny Ace, who told him he was being inducted. He broke down wishing his parents and brother were alive. Huge "Abdullah" chant. He had his fork with him. Abby thanked God and left. The crowd was really into him. Short speech.

Nick Johnson wrote: Dusty Rhodes's accent gets me every time. He said the Road Warriors electrified the entire "woryurled." Hawk reminds him of a lyric of a song - "only the good die young." He mentioned the illustrious scaffold match with the Midnight Express - and remembered in slow motion the throwing of Jim Cornette off scaffold. He mentioned Animal was a leader, and one of the strongest men he has ever been around. Great speech by the American Dream.

Snooki's match was shown on the Tron afterward. Huge heat for Snooki, as expected.

Animal talked about Dusty helping them out early on. Animal said he'd trade in all of his championships for the Hall of Fame. Ellering told another story about Hawk. Animal told another story about breaking into the business. He thanked his family and broke down in tears. Ellering thanked his family as only he could. He talked about the day Hawk died. Animal thanked "the boys" past and present. Animal said some special words about his connection with Hawk. Ellering put a Hawk action figure on the podium. Loud "LOD" chant. They closed out with "What A Rush."

Agahzi wrote: Kane inducted Drew Carey. Boos for Carey, who told a few bad jokes but then put over the WWE superstars as the greatest athletes alive. That was it. Lots of boos.

Drew stated to the crowd to go ahead and boo, he doesn't care. He stated that he's a handsome, rich guy who needs his share of boos. The crowd to seem to lighten up somewhat toward the end of the speech. Take that for what it's worth. Huge Cena heat during a video montage of he and The Rock. Is it me, or does it seem like the Champion, The Miz is the third wheel in this main event?

Nick Johnson wrote: Good applause for The Game, who came out to his 2006 WrestleMania theme - "King of Kings." A lot of comedic sayings in his speech. He mentioned that he can't talk about The Kliq days in a PG environment - a lot of laughs from the audience. He mentioned and joked about Michaels's Playgirl shoot. He mentioned Michaels's "google" eye, in which could roughly in text be translated to (   •)(• )

Michaels mentioned that he's very thankful for all the other inductees and Hunter - Michaels teared up and stated that he lives for this. He mentioned the Undertaker's statement that he would be walking into the HOF with regrets. He said if were 1998 that might have been true. Michaels said that there was a name he should thank and that he couldn't mention it - the crowd then did the "Woo" chants.
