What this also means is that it is highly unlikely that Randy Savage will be inducted this year, despite his death eight months ago. According to Dave Meltzer in this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter, this year's Hall Of Fame class has already been completely chosen and Lanny Poffo has claimed that he has not been contacted by WWE about a possible induction (or even offered any condolences when he passed away). Lanny may have irked WWE management with his public insistence that due to his late brother's wishes that his family would only accept Savage's induction into the WWE Hall Of Fame if he and his father Angelo were inducted at the same time too.
However, it is more likely that Vince McMahon still holds a grudge against Randy Savage even after his death for reasons that have never been adequately explained, although no-one has ever debunked the rumours that Savage slept with an 18-year-old Stephanie McMahon before leaving the WWF in late 1994. Indeed, the reason why Lex Luger is believed to have been passed over for induction as part of the Four Horsemen is due to remaining heat over the circumstances surrounding his late girlfriend's Elizabeth Hulette's death. Vince McMahon apparently still blames Lex for corrupting Miss Elizabeth and getting her involved in a drug fuelled lifestyle that led to her eventual tragic overdose on alcohol and prescription painkillers. There's also the fact that he turned up on the first edition of WCW Nitro while working for the WWF on a handshake agreement.
