WWE released a special edition of their monthly magazine for WrestleMania 32, with a cover featuring Triple H, Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, Undertaker, Charlotte, Dean Ambrose and The New Day. Inside the magazine, they reveal two more inductees for the WWE Hall of Fame's class of 2016.
Stan Hansen and Jacqueline Moore are now confirmed to be inducted into the Hall of Fame this year. WWE has yet to officially announce the two former stars for the Hall of Fame on the internet or TV. Jacqueline, formerly known as Miss Texas, has been a rumored inductee for weeks and Stan Hansen is from Texas.
This year's WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony takes place on Saturday, April 2, the night before WrestleMania 32, at the American Airlines Center in Dallas at 6:30 PM local time. Sting, The Godfather, The Fabulous Freebirds and Big Boss Man (the third name) are the other confirmed inductees as of press time.

I'm personally quite pleased for Hansen and Boss Man... Jacqueline not so much.

Dude,
I'm somewhat surprised by the Fabulous Freebirds induction... It's kind of sweet that the WWE is showing some love to these guys. Their stints in the ole Georgia rasslin' loops are beyond cool.
LIKE SERIOUSLY LOOK AT THEIR DEBUT:

I'm over the moon that Boss Man is getting in, he was always a favourite of mine as a kid alongside the likes of Savage and Warrior (may they all rest in peace....that sounds horribly tragic thinking about it)
Jacqueline is possibly the most surprising entrant since Koko B Ware mind, but the Freebirds have always belonged there really, it's always seemed a matter of when, not if.
Sting of course deserves it, ironically for being the one big non-WWE guy for so many years and making such a huge name for himself and earning success wherever else he went.
As for Godfather, I wasn't watching wrestling when he was around in that gimmick, but used to be intrigued by his old Papa Shango character, so yeah I'm cool with that too. Charles Wright the man deserves it for sure.

If nothing else he deserves it for making really bad gimmicks on paper work really well, from a voodoo doctor to ultimate fighter to pimp, and to varying extents he got them all over with fans. Thinking about it that might be why Koko got in...

What did Koko ever do? Danced with a bird? I'd do that myself most weekends if I didn't keep getting slapped.
To be fair Koko's tag team with Owen Hart was quite entertaining, but I reckon (and I'm not going out on a limb here, I think it's one of the safest things I've ever said) that was pretty much all Owen's doing - the guy was just out and out fantastic at everything he did in the squared circle. Watch the Wrestlemania X match with Bret back - Owen actually looked like the bigger star. And he was once in a tag team with Koko B. fudgin' Ware. Scandalous.
