The Prince of Darkness was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and gave a virtual speech celebrating the occasion. "Thank you so much WWE Universe for this award," he said. "I don’t deserve it, but thank you anyway."

"It’s all about the fans, really. Our fans are what keep us alive really. It’s all about them. I wanna thank Vince McMahon and Triple H, thank you very much, God bless you."

Ozzy has been involved with wrestling for decades now making his first appearance at WrestleMania 2 in 1986.

Osbourne was partners with Captain Lou Albano as the duo managed The British Bulldogs tag-team. In 2007, Ozzy served as a musical guest during a taping of Smackdown and went on to become a special guest host on Raw in November 2009.

The WWE held a special induction ceremony honoring the class of 2020 and 2021 together simultaneously as last year’s event was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Osbourne wasn’t the only celebrity inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as actor William Shatner was among the inductees as well.
