He was a four-time IWGP heavyweight champion in New Japan Pro-Wrestling and three-time triple crown heavyweight champion in All Japan Pro Wrestling, but he is perhaps best known to American fans for his time in NWA/WCW. Muta, 60, recently retired after a legendary in-ring career that lasted nearly 40 years. While the 43-year-old only wrestled sparingly during her career, she is remembered fondly for her stints as manager of The Dudley Boyz, Test, Scott Steiner, The Hurricane and others. When WWE purchased WCW in 2001, she made the leap and began going by her real name. Keibler broke into wrestling in 1999 as a Nitro Girl in WCW and eventually took on the villainous persona of Miss Hancock. Per Meltzer (h/t Upton), Flair is likely to announce Japanese wrestling legend The Great Muta for the HOF since he has asked to be inducted and Nature Boy has asked to induct him. It was also announced Monday night on Raw that Hall of Famer Ric Flair will reveal another class of 2023 inductee on Wednesday's episode of The Bump. Stacy Keibler, Great Muta Reportedly Expected for WWE HOF InductionĪccording to (h/t Subhojeet Mukherjee of Ringside News), WWE is "very close" to finalizing a deal with Stacy Keibler to make her part of the Hall of Fame this year. Knight has been discussing the importance of being involved in a WrestleMania in the Los Angeles area over the past several weeks and whether he does something with Austin or not, it seems more likely by the day that he will have some kind of role on the show. The Rock was one of Stone Cold's greatest rivals, and there is little doubt that his personality and attitude would mesh well with Knight just as it did with The Great One. Knight is a cocky heel and one of WWE's best talkers, and his act is reminiscent of The Rock in many ways. While it isn't yet clear if Austin has accepted any of WWE's overtures, Knight would perhaps be the perfect foil for him on The Grandest Stage of Them All. There are two wrestlers in second place, Pat Patterson and Kurt Angle, both of whom wrestled 19 more times after their respective Hall of Fame inductions. On Monday, Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp (h/t H Jenkins of ) reported that the company has continued to make pitches to WWE Hall of Famer "Stone Cold" Steve Austin for WrestleMania, and one of them involved a match or segment with Knight. Those 17 matches have landed Edge in fourth when ranking the most active Hall of Famers in WWE history, but he may well be second very soon.
