John PollockHOST
So I think four of my, uh, four of the seven here were ones that I did vote for.
John PollockHOST
Um, ones that were, like, right on the cusp of getting in last year, just at the threshold, were Hayabusa, Junkyard Dog, June Byers, Jesse Ventura, Jose Tarres, and, uh, even a very strong performance from, uh, Ted Turner.
John PollockHOST
Um, but the candidate I wanna throw out at you first, Charles, he did not perform all that well last year.
John PollockHOST
It was, like, 11%, and that was the late Bill Dundee.

Dylan FoxHOST
[laughs] It seems like a very common way he's set things out here.
Dylan FoxHOST
Uh, there are circumstances where people, for example, uh, Dominic DeNucci, uh, he is at f- uh, 15 years, so he has to face over 50%, as well as June Byers in the historical region.
Dylan FoxHOST
Um, so we have to keep that in mind.
Dylan FoxHOST
And we're gonna talk about everything, kinda wrap things up at the end, but since we've done this show so many times, and we've talked about a lot of these candidates, I mean, there's a few new guys, but for the most part, we've discussed everything and kind of analyzed everything we can.

Steve CrawfordGUEST
freddie mayhem team with lawman pull-ins but i love june byers being on this card um so random june had been retired for at least 11 years she'd been like a major car accident I'm pretty sure she was probably living in Texas at this time.
Steve CrawfordGUEST
So, No, I don't think this was a real June Byers who showed up to work in an opening match in Malden, Missouri, January 9th,

Ryan NeitzeyHOST
We have Junkyard Dog at the top at last year, 58.6%.
Ryan NeitzeyHOST
June Byers, 57.4%.
Ryan NeitzeyHOST
Also important to note, June Byers is at 1550, meaning this is her 15th year.
Ryan NeitzeyHOST
If she doesn't get over 50%, she's off the ballot.
Ryan NeitzeyHOST
She's already at 57.4, so that's pretty solid, uh, assuming to, to stay at the very least.
Ryan NeitzeyHOST
There's reporters, there's historians, there's active professionals, and there are retired professionals.
Ryan NeitzeyHOST
Uh, the people that ranked pretty highly, I'll just do the top, people that were in the top 15 of, of these four voter bases.
Ryan NeitzeyHOST
You know, from reporters, we have the Von Erichs ranked at number five, June Byers at 12, and JYD at 14.
Ryan NeitzeHOST
In order from highest percentage, and I'll give a couple of percentages here, we have Junkyard Dog at the top at last year, 58.6%.

Ryan NeitzeHOST
I want to first start here at the results of last year's Hall of Fame ballots.
Ryan NeitzeHOST
So just at the top of the pack, of course, we had Junkyard Dog at the top of the pack and June Byers and the Von Eriks.
Ryan NeitzeHOST
And the only people that fell off, no one got in.
Ryan NeitzeHOST
No one got in.
Ryan NeitzeHOST
You know, I believe the Observer said that he was like four votes shy of getting into the Hall of Fame.
