Attending the WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony was no different for the better than watching the DVD of this ceremony that comes with the WrestleMania DVD. While it was nice to have been there, I would've rather attended that evening's evening session of WrestleMania Axxess at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center.
On the other hand, I may not have been enthusiastic about the WWE Hall of Fame like I expected primarily because there wasn't a true favorite WWE legend that I was most excited about receiving this kind of honor & recognition. If any, I was most excited about Rikishi getting inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame merely because I have a great fascination with the Anoa'i family also referred to as the Samoan Dynasty.
I admire the use of posted signs requesting fans to be respectful to the speakers, but I don't understand why we couldn't use our cell phones to take pictures of the spectator area. I understand not allowing video recording with cell phones, and I understand discouragement of using mobile devices during this type of event; I just don't understand the discouragement of taking photos with our cell phones.
