WWE Making Changes To HOF?

WWE officials were reported to be talking about making changes to the 2016 edition of the Hall of Fame ceremony, with concerns that it ran too long. The event ran over four hours this year, and the idea is they would cut down on the number of inductees. 

BP: Good call. There were some great speeches, but the whole thing was way too long. Ideally I’d like to see it down to about five inductees; two singles wrestlers (male and/or female), a tag team, a celebrity or non-wrestler, and the Warrior award. The ceremony doesn’t run too long, and having fewer inductees per year makes it a little more special of an achievement.
