FROM LORDS OF PAIN
Though WWE has yet to announce who will be inducting the 2012 WWE Hall of Fame inductees, a strong source within the organization says the following plans are in place.
* Edge will be inducted by Christian
* Four Horsemen (Arn Anderson, Barry Windham, JJ Dillon, Ric Flair and Tully Blanchard) will be inducted by Dusty Rhodes
* Mike Tyson will be inducted by Shawn Michaels and Triple H
* Mil Mascaras will be inducted by Alberto Del Rio
* Ron Simmons will be inducted by John "Bradshaw" Layfield
* Yokozuna will be inducted by Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso and Rikishi
Jerry "The King" Lawler will host the event.

Surprising that they're going with people who make sense instead of random big names.

the only two that don't really make sense to me is Alberto Del Rio inducting Mil Mascaras and the Uso's and Rikishi inducting Yokozuna.
Michaels and HHH inducting Tyson sorta makes sense...would make more sense if Austin was doing it, or if Austin, HBK and HHH all three did...

Yes, I must say that this list of inductors-to-inductees makes the most sense of any year I can remember.
I think Rey Mysterio would make more sense than Del Rio but Del Rio isn't a horrible choice either.

Rikishi is related to the Rock, also tied to Yokozuna via family.

I knew that too. Weren't they all also related to Umaga somehow too?

there was a rumor that Bret Hart would induct Yokozuna. That would have been cool since he was his biggest opponent.

The Uso's are the sons of Rikishi, who was Umagas brother. Rikshi is the nephew of Afa and Sika(his mom was there sister), Yokozuna was also the nephew of Afa and Sika(from another sibling). The Rock is not actually related to them, his maternal grandfather High Chief Peter Maivia became a blood brother(through an oath) to the father of Afa and Sika, thus making the Rock part of their extended family, sort of. That's why Kish and his sons are inducting Yokozuna. On a side note I'm just glad there letting Christian induct Edge, and JBL for Ron Simmons.
