Rowdy Roddy Piper was originally going to be inducted by Steve Austin, Chris Jericho took his place and then Jericho was ultimately replaced by Ric Flair.
The first two hours (76:26 on the DVD) were never shown live via broadcast to the public. With the except of those in attendance at the live event, the public first got to see this portion of the program for the first time on the WrestleMania 21 (2005) DVD set. Spike TV aired the last hour at 11pm EST, which featured the inductions of Roddy Piper and Hulk Hogan.
