Regarding Kurt Angle’s induction, he was not there in person to accept. Angle claimed he couldn’t attend due to obligations to TNA but he did not work last night’s TNA live event in Memphis, Tennessee. Jim Ross revealed that Angle’s award was auctioned off for $250 at the Hall of Fame ceremony:

“Kurt Angle was unable to attend the HOF in Waterloo 2nite. Jerry Brisco auctioned off the award 4 $250.”
