I feel like they wouldn't do this because a lot can happen between now and then. He might be like nah now but after talking to Brisco or someone else he might be like okay sure. Better say No and be surprised if something changes than let everyone think we're getting the Enforcer and get someone most of us have never heard of accompanied by waves of bad vibes. I'll use whomever we get but managing expectations is important. If you follow the Facebook group - there is a nice wager - the odds have shifted from one promoter saying there is a 0% chance of Arn getting an official card period to 40%, after I said if it is zero percent the odds should be +300 to +500 somewhere in between. Quickly the odds shifted to 40%, which I feel is likely for each name. Regarding Haku - he has appeared at no less than two events in the last 9 months under that name, and is scheduled to appear, I believe, again under that name. He may own the trademark on Haku, or it may have lapsed since the '90s when he was Meng in WCW - which does happen. He was inducted as Haku, I'd assume we'd get the name Haku.

I could be wrong Gunslinger but I feel like that is not something Filsinger Games would do. So many things change, I bet there have been cases where someone has said yes and a year later when about to release card in set they change their mind.
I don't think it's a good practice for anyone to assume anything with FG or life lol. I never thought I'd see Punk again in a WWE ring yet here we are. I don't think they should say either way until the card is officially bookmarked for a set and the set is releasing. Things change so fast and I think you gotta let things play out ...

I'll use whomever we get but managing expectations is important. I also think that we can probably assume that unless something crazy happens, most of the TNT names that have been released, piecing it together, have been signed long before the event - many at the previous year's induction ceremony. Now, that isn't to say it's always the case, but the names that we have released of a current honoree in the same year (Rotunda and Danny Spivey) were signed at the very least, a year later, and in the case of Spivey, many years earlier. Just saying it probably is safe to assume that Arn isn't going to be in this year's set, and be pleasantly surprised. Not to say that we may not get him later just seems pretty likely that we won't have him to get his card signed at TNTHOF '24.

Obviously we won't know exacts until they announce but I would guess there's going to be a regular set March to April, TNT in July, CAC in Autumn and whatever they decide in December When was the last time we had a full, regular set in the spring? The past few years it's either been a Women's set (not to say a women's set can't be "regular" but clearly that's of interest to some promoters and not others as compared to the men's sets) or a mini-set of some sort, hasn't it? There's a virtual-con scheduled for January 27 which will sort all of this out, presumably. I think the Legends Expansion XI set came out in Cycle 1 of 2022, didn't it?

I saw Conrad Thompson is in the hall. He could be a pipeline to other signings since he's a podcast guy and the son-in-law of some guy.

Along with Terry Funk, Ricky Steamboat, Muta, Lex Luger, Bret Hart, and those two guys, Hogan and Flair. It would be awesome if a couple of them were knocked off the list this year.

I went to a Southern Illinois Championship Wrestling show a few years ago where Haku was called King Haku--although he didn't have a crown.
Here's a thought about a possible Arn Anderson card: Gourdbuster as a singles move becomes Double Gourdbuster Finisher or Add 1 in tag matches. DDT as a singles move becomes Double DDT Add 1 in tag matches. Singles Finisher becomes Spike Piledriver finisher in tag matches.

Love hearing those names and hopes.
For me, one I would love to get is my favorite wrestler when I was little. Leo Burke. Hell throw in his brothers, Rudy and Bobby Kay and the Beast. I would be in heaven.
