The Hall of Fame is considered one of the biggest events of the year for wrestlers. Instead of having to put on a show, the current performers wear their fanciest outfits and sit in the crowd to witness legends get inducted. However, the show being extremely long can make it tough for wrestlers to sit through it all. With many events the following day, many wrestlers will choose to leave after seeing the inductees they wanted.

This fan picture showed just how many wrestlers left the show right before Goldberg’s speech. Between the timing and the other inductees being more popular with the talent, it was a nearly empty section for Goldberg’s speech. At one point during his speech, Goldberg tries to tease a future match with Roman Reigns. Unfortunately for Goldberg, Reigns isn’t in the crowd when looking for him because Roman and most of the other wrestlers were already gone.

The joy of Jarius is shown as he cracks a laugh. Jarius deserves a Hall of Fame induction just for having the confidence to share a laugh with the most terrifying wrestler of all time.
