They join “Macho Man” Randy Savage, Rikishi, Alundra Blayze and Arnold Schwarzenegger as the only confirmed entrants at this time.

F4WOnline.com is reporting that former WWE Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and on-screen General Manager John Laurinaitis will be giving Luke and Butch their induction.

Working as Johnny Ace for the National Wrestling Alliance, Laurinaitis was once a flagbearer for The Bushwackers, who were then known as The Sheepherders.

They were former NWA Mid-Atlantic Tag Team Champions, as well as two-time Stampede Wrestling International Tag Team Champions. They never held gold during their run in WWE.

The WWE Hall of Fame ceremony takes place at the SAP Center in San Jose, California on March 28, which is one night before WrestleMania 31.

Big Johnny! People Power! I was such a mark for that gimmick. Mr. Personality at the WWE Hall of Fame is money.
