—According to Mike Johnson at pwinsider.com, Maria Menounos is rumored to induct Bob Backlund at the 2013 Hall of Fame ceremony. Lita and Dave Finley on the other hand are rumored to induct Trish Stratus in the Hall of Fame. Here are excerpts from the report…

The company is considering Maria Menounos for Bob Backlund as the two are friends and obviously, WWE would love for the celebrity rub. Sgt. Slaughter’s name has also been brought up for Backlund as has, interestingly enough, Roddy Piper.

In speaking around to those in the company, it was believed Donald Trump would most likely be inducted by a member of his family, possibly Ivanka Trump.

There’s no word on Trish Stratus’ inductor yet, although as I noted in the Elite section, Lita and/or Dave Finley would make the most sense. They could also go with Edge as they are both from Toronto and were trained by Ron Hutchison at the same school.
