Is He A Hall Of Famer?

[RIPbossman]

This is simple. The person above you will type the name of a wrestler, retired or current;y active, and you answer two questions:

Will they make it into the WWE Hall Of Fame someday?

Should they make it into the WWE Hall Of Fame someday?

You may also name people who have already made it into the Hall of Fame, and the next person will answer if they should have gotten in.

When you answer, you put the name of another wrestler at the bottom of your post, the next person answers, etc.

First one:

Booker T

[Ian Clark]

Some day, definitely.

Jeff Jarrett

[Triple10X]

No, unless he somehow becomes unaffiliated with TNA and apologizes to Vince for stealing $150,000 for one match.

Chris Benoit (Yeah, I went there).

[rko333]

No unless WWE looks past what he did outside of the ring to his family

Kurt Angle

[Thurl]

If he leaves TnA and returns to WWE, eventually.

Eric Bischoff

[Ian Clark]

Probably, which is unfortunate because he's a douchebag.

Scott Hall

[Frostoney]

No and He probably doesn't deserve to get in

Jamie Noble

[MournDespana]

no, no, and hell no

Bill Regal

[Ian Clark]

Unquestionably.

Santino Marella

[MournDespana]

umm two time IC champ... better HoFer then Koko B, Ware But, not right now is he one. Give it time.

Hacksaw Jim Duggan

[Thurl]

He is overdue for it, I almost expect him for class of 2011.

Kurrgan

[The Dirty Duce]

No, I dont think so.

The Asshole Himself, Mr. ADERSON.......... ANDERSON!

[Tarrasque]

Anderson? Never. Not even if the guy eventually goes back to WWE (which he won't).

CM Punk.

[The Dirty Duce]

Yes he can pull of a good heal and a good face so definetly he should go.

what wwe diva right now might be able to make it to the wwe hall of fame?

but to keep with the game

Kane

[swantonbomb780]

Yeah i'd say he prob will and i'd say trish stratus is prob got the most chance

jeff hardy

[Tarrasque]

what wwe diva right now might be able to make it to the wwe hall of fame?

Honestly, the only Diva I would want to see in The Hall Of Fame is Trish Stratus. No Diva has come close to the package she had. Great wrestling, Charisma, and even better looks.

[SuperiorState]

Yeah i'd say he prob will and i'd say trish stratus is prob got the most chance

jeff hardy

I would say no to Jeff Hardy as a singles competitor but yes to the Hardy Boys (or Boyz or whatever) as a tag team.

I hate to say it but......Batista

[ejradio]

I hate to say it but......Batista

I would say yes...even though i personally dont think he deserves it...he hasnt done anything really worthwhile that people will remember for years

Lita

[Jim]

I would say yes...even though i personally dont think he deserves it...he hasnt done anything really worthwhile that people will remember for years

Lita

Probably like 10-15 years down the road.

How about Michael Cole?

[rko333]

very very unlikly

RVD

[The Dirty Duce]

The whole F'n show will be the whole F'n hall of fammer. book it!

The Miz

[Deadman]

RVD Yes, he was a huge person for his ECW times, longest TV champ in their history, WWE and ECW champ at the same time, multi time IC champ, Triple Crown, Grandslam Champ, he will get there some day.

Psycho Sid?

[Deadman]

The whole F'n show will be the whole F'n hall of fammer. book it!

The Miz

NO, not even close

[BigSteve316]

Psycho Sid?

Mabye, after all he did win the WWE title 2 times as well as the WCW title.

Vader?

[Deadman]

I believe so, for his WCW days, he is multi time champion, one of the most agile big men ever, and HE IS THE MAN, He should get in

Sting?

[ChrisBear]

Without question.

Finlay?


P.s. RVD can fuck off too (ahhh, been a while)

[That Guy]

Yes Finlay is like Koko a good working guy in the ring.

DDP ( My pick for this year)

[richievdm]

I think ddp definitely deserves it!!!...would like to see him in the HOF this year


Dean Malenko

[Frostoney]

Hell Yeah

Rhino

[Foxxy]

Rhino, no, unless its for his ECW stint but he didnt do enough in WWE really.

Christian

[richievdm]

without a shadow of a doubt he deserves it...but they need to give him a decent world title run first...multiple title runs.


Owen hart

[pakopako]

Eventually, yeah. Sooner than say...

Kevin Nash?

[wrestlingismylife1]

Kevin Sullivan, Randy Savage, Ultimate Warrior, HBK, Rick Rude, Road Warriors with Paul Ellinring, Lex Lugar, Eddie Gilbert, Steiner Brothers, Harlem Heat, Mick Foley, and their's many more that i can't think of at moment because it's ******* hot where i live so give me some time and i will send more peace out you jobronies/ because i said so. lol

[Ian Clark]

READ THE FUCKING TOPIC BEFORE YOU POST IN IT

Kevin Nash: Yes. Probably about ten years after he retires, so presumably posthumously.

Lex Luger

[Gypsumstack]

Nash is buddies with Vince, so as soon as he's done with TNA, he is in.

As for Luger...if he doesn't get in this year for the WCW theme, then I don't see him ever getting in.

Legion of Doom/The Roadwarriors?

[captainmantastic]

Hawk and Animal definitely get in, should go in with the 2011 class.

The Steiner Brothers?

[Ian Clark]

Tough to say. I'd definitely say yes, but there's no way they're going to let Scott Steiner speak at his own induction ceremony. So could be a bit of a dilemma.

Gregory Helms

[Dropkick Murphy]

Never. Steiner has a better chance of speaking at one than Sugar Shane does of being inducted.

We all know WWE likes to give celebrities an unwarranted spot in the HoF, so when is K-Fed getting his ceremony?

[captainmantastic]

K-Fed? Unless he knocks up Brittney Spears again, I would say no.

Helm's a better worker than a lot of guys already in, but don't know if he has done enough. If he doesn't ever make it back to WWE or comes back but never gets above lower mid-card, than I say no.

And just because I am a major mark------Keiji Mutoh aka The Great Muta

[cra0422]

Muta might make it in if they just focused on his contributions since there are some wrestlers/promoters who didn't compete in WWE. But who's to say?

I know you mentioned Mr. Anderson...Anderson, but what about "AA" Arn Anderson?

[Ian Clark]

There can be no question, AA is Hall of Fame bound, probably next year.

Shane McMahon

[captainmantastic]

AA, I think he gets in with the WCW guys in Atlanta, but at some point he definitely is in. He's a legend and vastly underrated in my opinion.

Shane McMahon def. gets in somewhere down the line.

Rick Rude?

[rko333]

Dont think so. Just being Vince's son doesn't get you in the HoF. and maybe on rude

British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith

[captainmantastic]

Yeah, Davey Boy gets in but not before Owen.

Jake Roberts? Or does letting him speak keep him from even being considered?

[rko333]

problably gets in but wont speak.

Big Show

[Ian Clark]

Show's a lock.

Lou Thesz

[captainmantastic]

Thesz is a legend, I can't believe he's not in already. He has to get in somewhere down the line.

Barry Windham?

[Dropkick Murphy]

Not while Flair is in TNA, and that goes for Arn as well unfortunately... But yes, they will both be in someday.

Goldust.

[Double Murder Josh]

Yes. Maybe even this year. Supposedly, the WWE is looking to make this year's HoF very "WCW-heavy" and I can't think of a guy that would fit more than Barry Windham, a multi-time champion in WCW, WWF, and the NWA. Second-generation superstar, former WWE agent/producer, relative to one "Husky Harris"...I say, he'll get in sooner than later.



The Rock N' Roll Express

[Lazyking]

Not while Flair is in TNA, and that goes for Arn as well unfortunately... But yes, they will both be in someday.

Goldust.

Yes, I think he gets in. Goldust was a groundbreaking gimmick and he's a company man.

DMJ: I'm not sure about the rock and roll express. I'd say no.


Kamala

[HBK911]

Kamala's a tough one. I actually forgot about him, but he is a legend.

Will WWE actually acknowledge him? Probably. But not unless they're low on inductees one year.

Bad News Brown?

[Punkmark]

Had to think about this one long and hard, but I'm going to say yes to Kamala, despite his lack of championships. I think his strengths lie more in the intangibles.

Mark Henry?

[HBK911]

Had to think about this one long and hard, but I'm going to say yes to Kamala, despite his lack of championships. I think his strengths lie more in the intangibles.

Mark Henry?

Yeah, but see my "Kamala" answer @ Mark Henry.

Again, Bad News Brown?

[Punkmark]

I want to say yes, but I don't see it. He should make it in just for challenging Andre the Giant to a one-on-one, real-life fistfight.

Yokozuna?

[captainmantastic]

Yeah, Yokozuna gets in. He wasn't around that long really, but he was a multiple World Champ and was involved in some big feuds and angles so he deserves to be in.

Marty Jannetty?

[mr chop]

Jannetty doesn't, and shouldn't.

Tully Blanchard

[Foxxy]

As somebody said before with AA and windham, its gona have to wait untill Flair realises where he actually is and quits.

Mike Awesome

[Deadman]

Mike Awesome is a maybe, he was very over in ECW and his WCW stint was nice, but we will see, I think he might someday in the future but not anytime soon

Masahiro Chono?

[NecroButcher]

As somebody said before with AA and windham, its gona have to wait untill Flair realises where he actually is and quits.

Mike Awesome


Mike Awesome is a maybe, he was very over in ECW and his WCW stint was nice, but we will see, I think he might someday in the future but not anytime soon

Masahiro Chono?

Sorry, had to comment on Awesome as I'm a HUGE mark of his work. No chance in hell Mike Awesome will ever get into the WWE Hall of Fame. Not going to happen.

Chono? Maybe. WWE does seem to be looking at guys who had little time with the company but had great accomplishments in other feds (many the WWE owns the video libraries of) and International accomplishments.

How about Demolition (Axe and Smash)?

[Foxxy]

Demolition Should do really, Longest tag title reign in WWE history.

The Nasty boys

[swantonbomb780]

push dont know much about them

just wanted to bring this up if this years hof is a wcw one does that mean hbk has to wait until next year even though they kept going on about him being first ballot hof

The dudleys

[richievdm]

OOO the Dudleys will get in eventually..in my opinion of course..They are a hell of a tag team

New age outlaws??

[mr chop]

Demolition Should do really, Longest tag title reign in WWE history.

The Nasty boys


The Nastys better fucking not.

[Foxxy]

OOO the Dudleys will get in eventually..in my opinion of course..They are a hell of a tag team

New age outlaws??


For there work they should do, but they bitched about Hunter too much to get the rub i think

Paul Heyman

[hotrock11]

Heymen will get in, when he dies (or at this rate of 5 people a year....he'll get in in about 5 years)


Mark Henry

[RIPbossman]

I don't think Mark Henry should get in, and he probably won't. He was a lackey for the Nation of Domination for a while, and overall didn't contribute much in that role. He was entertaining as "Sexual Chocolate" for a while during the Attitude era, but that's not enough to get into the Hall of Fame. Over recent years he shown glimpses being a good entertainer, but overall he's uncharismatic and a poor in ring wrestler. He doesn't have the acolades to get it. He will not and should not get in.

Cowboy Bob Orton (Obviously he's in, but should he have gotten in?)

[MournDespana]

Yes

Bob Backlund

[Ian Clark]

Some day. I read that he keeps turning down the honour because he feels he still has one good run in him. Looks like the crazy old man thing wasn't a gimmick.

Carlito

[mr chop]

Heymen will get in, when he dies (or at this rate of 5 people a year....he'll get in in about 5 years)


Mark Henry

Mark Henry's as much of a company man as Kane. He'll get in.

Carlito: No. Unless he comes back and wildly changes his attitude.

Sheamus

[swantonbomb780]

Nah dont think he done enough if he does then benjemin better

matt hardy (alone)

[Irishsara]

The Hardy boys go in together just like The Funks went in together, Matt is not good enough to go in on his own.

Mike Awesome doesnt go in because he killed himself.

Carlos Colon?

[Champ]

The Great Muta
Buzz Sawyer
Ron (hands of stone) Garvin
Jimmy Garvin

[captainmantastic]

I don't know, Colon has been big for wrestling, but he hasn't really had a lot of impact in American wrestling. I would say probably not, unless he sells the video rights of the WWC to Vince.

He never had any success in the WWE, but he's a legend so what about Chief Wahoo McDaniel?

[TheReign]

Wahoo McDaniel: Certainly feuded with enough HOFers and future ones, and belongs before some that have made it. I will have to say Yes but way down the line.

unless I missed his name: Raven?

[Ian Clark]

As soon as he ceases to be relevant in any context, yes.

Mickie James

[Gypsumstack]

Not before Trish...but maybe.

As for Raven, don't he and Vince have some pretty major heat?

Paul Bearer?

[ejradio]

Paul Bearer?

Absolutly but not before the Undertaker

Is Dino Bravo in yet?

[Foxxy]

Hes not and i dont think he will be if he was actually killed by the mafia

The mountie

[TheReign]

The Mountie: decent run with the Rougeau's in tag team action but never saw him as a player in any title scene. In fact his joke IC "title run" was referenced recently by Bret Hart, would have to say No

No woman before Trish? What about Miss Elizabeth?

[mr chop]

Elizabeth would only go in as part of a Macho Man package. Plus the way she died means she's not going in any time soon.

[SuperiorState]

Razor Ramon

[Foxxy]

Probably not, not with the life style hes lead

Chavo jnr

[cra0422]

Maybe if you total in his Cruiserweight reigns from WCW & WWE.

Stan Hansen

[captainmantastic]

Hansen will be one day, as he was big in the WWWF back in the 70's and a legitimate worldwide star for a long time.

Rick Martel?

[Triple10X]

I would say no, but considering these Hall of fame classes have been like 6 deep, I think he will eventually get in.

Doink the clown

[Ian Clark]

Doink was a gimmick, not a wrestler, so probably not.

Stan Stasiak (The elder, not his son Shawn)

[HBK911]

Doink was a gimmick, not a wrestler, so probably not.

Stan Stasiak (The elder, not his son Shawn)

More than likely @ Stan. Unless he's on bad terms with WWE.

Sunny.

[cra0422]

Considering the controversy she's had in her life, I feel it's unlikely.

Honky Tonk Man

[Zuma]

^I think HTM will be an after death induction. He's kind of been a dick to VKM for a few years now, but I think he might have a place in the future.

Brutus Beefcake

[Double Murder Josh]

HTM:
Definitely. He's on good terms with Vince (as proven by the fact that he's made cameos on WWE TV several times over the past 2-3 years) and he inducted Koko B. Ware last year, so, I do think it is just a matter of time. Personally, I was not a huge fan of his work or his gimmick, but his IC title reign is one of very few records in pro-wrestling that will probably never be beaten and, for that, he should be in there.

Brutus Beefcake:
Not a chance. The only reason he ever had a job was because of who his best friend was and I don't see Vince inducting a guy that never drew a dime or wrestled anything better than a 2-star match. If Vince and Hogan were still able to work together, Vince might've done it just to get Hogan back on-screen (to induct Brutus but really just talk about himself more, ala his induction speech for "Mean" Gene), but now that that relationship is pretty much over, I don't think so.



Kevin Sullivan

[Zuma]

You're talking about HTM not Brutus, right?

Also ... to answer your "Kevin Sullivan" question...


LOL.

That's funny.

No. Never. Not even in consideration.

[HBK911]

HTM:
Definitely. He's on good terms with Vince (as proven by the fact that he's made cameos on WWE TV several times over the past 2-3 years) and he inducted Koko B. Ware last year, so, I do think it is just a matter of time. Personally, I was not a huge fan of his work or his gimmick, but his IC title reign is one of very few records in pro-wrestling that will probably never be beaten and, for that, he should be in there.

Brutus Beefcake:
Not a chance. The only reason he ever had a job was because of who his best friend was and I don't see Vince inducting a guy that never drew a dime or wrestled anything better than a 2-star match. If Vince and Hogan were still able to work together, Vince might've done it just to get Hogan back on-screen (to induct Brutus but really just talk about himself more, ala his induction speech for "Mean" Gene), but now that that relationship is pretty much over, I don't think so.

Kevin Sullivan

I saw ONE.

Beefcake & Savage from SNME in July of '89 had a pretty good match.

The run-ins at the end made it BETTER, but it was still pretty good.

[Punkmark]

Since we seem to have stalled out in terms of proposed inductees... a celebrity prediction.

Floyd "Money" Mayweather?

[MournDespana]

umm... no. No NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Mayweather didn't deserve the money he got for the match. He definitely doesn't deserve to be in the HoF.

Here is one:

Virgil

[cra0422]

Considering that his character was Ted DiBiase's errand boy, the only title he won in WWE was DiBiase's gimmick title. Let's also not forget his "Vincent" and "Shane" characters in WCW. Bottom line, highly unlikely.

The Rock

[captainmantastic]

Yeah, he is definitely a headliner one of these years, just a matter of when.

Brock Lesnar?

[Deadman]

I think Brock will, but I also feel Brock isn't done with WWE yet, let him finish his MMA time and I think we will see "The Next Big Thing" back in the WWE again

Ravishing Rick Rude?

[HBK911]

I think Brock will, but I also feel Brock isn't done with WWE yet, let him finish his MMA time and I think we will see "The Next Big Thing" back in the WWE again

Ravishing Rick Rude?

I think he absolutely deserves it.

Think about it: Curt Hennig went in, and I'd say Rude is as good as Curt.

Besides, if Wendy Richter can go in, Rude damn well BETTER go in, lol.

Here's one: Vince McMahon

And obviously he SHOULD go in, but...

[T.O.]

What's Vince ever done in this business? Jack shit.

[mr chop]

Here's one: Vince McMahon

And obviously he SHOULD go in, but...

but what?

[HBK911]

What's Vince ever done in this business? Jack shit.

Took wrestling from regional to global.
Gave us Wrestlemania.
Austin vs. McMahon
Promoted well
etc.

My main problem with Vince is that a lot of the guys say he was a liar who couldn't be trusted. I don't respect people like that.

But from a WWE standpoint, he's done MORE than enough to go in. You know that.


but what?

I always wondered whether or not he would put himself in, that's all.

Or, if he'd go in while he was still alive.

Just don't know.

Either way, you didn't answer, or give a new name. You're slippin!

[mr chop]

OH NO! I'm SLIPPIN!!

Theres no need to answer it, he's obviously going in. I'd be surprised if every member of the family didn't eventually go in.

So yes, he goes in.

[HBK911]

OH NO! I'm SLIPPIN!!

Theres no need to answer it, he's obviously going in. I'd be surprised if every member of the family didn't eventually go in.

So yes, he goes in.

*waits for new name*

[Lazyking]

^Taz

[Irishsara]

Taz goes in eventually. not soon but after vince dies and TNA goes under (or he gets lured back to the WWE) i think he goes in eventually.

Carlos Colon?

[Lazyking]

Taz goes in eventually. not soon but after vince dies and TNA goes under (or he gets lured back to the WWE) i think he goes in eventually.

Carlos Colon?

no, he's indirectly linked to a murder. His sons have a better shot then he does with their work up to now.

hornswoggle.

[SuperiorState]

no, he's indirectly linked to a murder. His sons have a better shot then he does with their work up to now.

hornswoggle.

Really? Hornswoggle?....no
no no no no no no no no no no no no


E & C or just Edge and Christian gets snubbed?

[Irishsara]

I think eventually Edge and Christian will have enough accolades to put them in seperately but Im afraid that they will get Funked and put in together just because of Vince there isnt enough legendary tag teams.


Stan Hansen

(Vince has enough tape from the AWA and WWE ... i mean sure his BEST stuff is in Japan but ...)

[cra0422]

Hansen was already mentioned.

Michael Hayes

[The Hurra Duff]

I am surprised Michael Hayes isn't a HOFer already. The Freebirds were a great faction. Hayes was great in the ring and man could he talk! Perhaps he'll get in in 2011.

Terry Gordy?

[cra0422]

I think that Gordy's career would qualify him, but I wouldn't be surprised if The Fabulous Freebirds were inducted as a group.

This one's a question of when, not if
Shawn Michaels

[Irishsara]

What makes Shawn HOF? I mean he was champ durring the lowest time in the WWE business wise. He is no hulk hogan, he was a drug addict. he was bad for business and he took like 5 years off.

Is he a hall of famer? Sure but so is Koko B Ware

Is Larry Zbyszko a Hall of famer?

[cklavinski]

Zbyszko is a tough one. He put on some legit good stuff, but I'm not sure. I think the WWE has plenty of footage, he made a large enough impression on the sport, and he wasn't that bad at promos. I think he kinda stuck around for too long though. I don't think his TNA body of work helped him either. He came off as a poor mans authority figure as in "who cares about this dude and why is he in charge". Also, I think he needs to have some allies in the WWE that are willing to go to bat for him, which I don't think he has. (not that I have any hard proof).

So not at the moment, but I think he should be in there.

Bruno Sammartino.

[Irishsara]

Bruno goes in when Bruno wants to go in.

Zbyszko Tagged with Arn and they were buddies but he also held vince Up for money.

Does Alfred Hayes go in?

[cklavinski]

Alfred Hayes goes in, eventually. He was more than an announcer and provides a good story for what was happening in the business at the time.

Does the WWE build a WCW or ECW wing? How about an International wing, maybe Mexican or Japanese (strictly)

Lex Lugar?

[Thurl]

If he has mended his fences well enough he should. But there is the whole jumping brands thing to WCW that he did to hold him back on that. If he does, it will likely be Posthumously.

Speaking of which...

The Big Boss Man.

[MournDespana]

Bossman is a must. I would love to see him, OMG and Slick go in on the same class.

Speaking of someone from the 80s: Butch Reed

[Gooner]

Not enough to make the hall of fame...

JBL

[The Hurra Duff]

Tough Call on JBL. He had about a 2 year run (2004-2006) where he was easily the best heel in WWE but for most of his career he was a tag wrestler and was a midcarder as a singles wrestler. I will say HOFer eventually based on him being so damn funny and entertaining during 04-06; he also had great matches with most of the top faces of that period (Taker, Eddie Guerrero, Booker T, Cena)

Ron Simmons?

[Irishsara]

First Black World Champion ... Yeah hes in. Ron Simmons was a great WCW wrestler, a fine WWE tag wrestler and held a historic title.

If he retired TODAY ... Kurt Angle.

[Frostoney]

Yes

Hardcore Holly

[The Hurra Duff]

If it was a HOF for biggest @$$ holes in wrestling, he would probably be chairman of it. But since it's not, he has zero chance.

Molly Holly?

[Dark-Crusader]

Ah, one of my favorite of the holly family tree. Its interesting how she herself doesn't see Hall of Famer being added to her resume, but I do. So eventually, yes. Speaking of which...

Crash Holly?

[Mr.MoneyShott]

No I really doubt Crash would get in. He was entertaining as hardcore champ but thats about it. If anything I would say the Holly's would go in as a faction or "family"

Are The Steiner Brothers hall of famers?

[TheReign]

IMO, without a doubt the Steiners deserve to be in.

hmm, don't think I saw this guys name, what about Meng/Haku?

[Dark-Crusader]

One of the original toughest s.o.b.'s in the industry. Altercations backstage aside, the man deserves to be in there. I say yes.

How about Dean Malenko?

[Thurl]

He is a shoe in. He may even be class of 2011. His recent appearance on Raw could be an indication of things to come.

How about the Chines Buzz Saw, Tajiri?

[cra0422]

You mean Japanese Buzz Saw. I'm not too sure about him, but I could be wrong.

Rey Mysterio (Jr., the current one)

[BigSteve316]

Yes without a doubt. Has held lots of titles and most of his matches are decent.

The late Umaga

[Dark-Crusader]

I want to say yes, but with his untimely death occurring, it will be a GOOD while until he's even considered. The only way I see him going in is if WWE does some type of Samoan family tribute induction and that would be his time to go in...

Mr. Ron "DAMN" Simmons better known as Farooq

[makeo]

Nah. Not for me. Good wrestler and successful, but not HoF. Upper mid-card and putting over Cena/Hardy/Punk was as far as he got. That's a cracking standard and important, but not the level required.

EDIT: X-Post. Simmons? Yep. First Afro-American champ. JYD was far bigger, but Simmons reflects the importance of WCW/WWF and the MNW to people.

Brian Pillman?

[RIPbossman]

I think Brian Pillman will get in eventually. I feel WWE thinks very highly of his abilities and of his performances in the wrestling industry, considering they made a dvd for him (just my opinion, though). Considering how he died and how young he was, WWE won't try to induct him any time soon.

Davey Boy Smith ( both as a singles wrestler and with the Brittish Bulldogs)

[drchannard]

I think DBS has been mentioned already but I'm going to say yes for singles but no to the British Bulldogs (but they'll obviously mention his time in the Bulldogs in his induction video).

Stacy Keibler

[makeo]

I''m a Kiebler Elf, but....FUCK NO

Might as well employ every Playmate going. Can't wrestle or act. Her whole career in wrestling is based on the fact she is hot as hell.

'Kishi, Val Venis, Billy Gunn or any other "Attitude mid-carder?"

[The Main Event]

Yes, I think the Anvil will be inducted at some point in the next few years. He really isn't that far off.

Great thread BTW.

How about Goldberg?

[Dark-Crusader]

^^^That sig is beyond hilarious...and yet so true...

With all of the ins and outs of this supposed "talent contract" that he was supposed to already sign, it has led me to believe that there is still a rift between Bill and WWE. Vince probaly wouldn't mind using Goldberg for the benefit of the business (i.e. merchandise, likenesses, action figures, etc.), but if he isn't inducted into the alledged WCW themed Hall of Fame at Mania in ATL...then no...

D-Lo Brown (If should come back to terms with WWE)

[TheReign]

D-Lo? IIRC, his time in the Nation might've been the height of his being "over", and a few single pushes with mid-card titles, that I don't think really took. Have to say no. Wonder how the Droz incident changed things in all aspects of his career.

don't think I saw them mentioned, The Harlem Heat

[The Hurra Duff]

Being as how Stevie Ray was never in WWE, I'd say no but Booker T. is a possibility somewhere down the road.
Dunno if they've been mentioned yet, what about Demolition (Ax and Smash)?

[RIPbossman]

I think the original Demolition will get in. They held the tag titles for about a year, which was a major accomplishment. Yeah, they were a rip off of the Road Warriors, but they were a strong force in the tag divison during one of WWE's golden eras. They should get in, and I don't see much of a reason for them not to eventually.

Also, its OK to post the same wrestler twice, just as long as the same poster doesn't answer the same wrestler twice. But try not to get too repetitive posting the same wrestlers over and over again.


Tito Santana (should he have gotten in?)

[D-Mo]

Yeah I think so. He might not have gotten all the championships and popularity, but their's alot of other people in their that shouldn't have gone in that did. Yeah he deserved it.

Why isn't "Macho Man" Randy Savage in his rightful place in history?

[TeamFarrell]

Reportedly because he wants way to big a payday to come out and way too much money to sign the Legends contract. That and, in Vince's eyes, he spit in Vince McMahon's face. He was one half of the Mega Powers. Arguably the top "number 2" guy in the history of the industry, and he decided to hop on over to WCW when Vince didn't want him to wrestle anymore.

When will we see The Rock inducted?

[Thurl]

It will probably be a couple years yet, he wasn't wcw, and I don't think Rock will be able to schedule it in, lol.

Also, I thought Tito Santana was already inducted...

Ediit: He is. Class of 2004.

How about Mr. T for the Celebrity wing?

[Gooner]

Yes, one of the VERY few celebrity wrestlers worth going in HoF.

Lex Luger

[RIPbossman]

Also, I thought Tito Santana was already inducted...

Ediit: He is. Class of 2004.



The first post says you can list the names of wrestlers who are already in, with the next poster answering if they deserved it or not.

Big Boss Man

[Dark-Crusader]

Most definitely deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Classic character, classic matches, and even more class of a man. If i'm not mistaken he's being considered for the 2011 since the Hall of Fame will be in his home state of Georgia.

Chris Jericho

[The Hurra Duff]

Of course Y2J belongs in the HoF. He may be one of the most underappreciated wrestlers (in the eyes of WWE) in history. He's so good in the ring and even better on the mic plus he's one of the very few guys they got left who could make anyone look good. I think WWE won't realize how good he really was until he retires (for good)!

The Killer Bees (Brian Blair and Jim Brunzell); great tag team in the 1980's.

[Frostoney]

Yes

I'm actually surprised there hasn't been many ECW'ers mentioned so i'll ask you this: Sandman?

[The Hurra Duff]

Sandman probably isn't a Hall of Famer even though he was the inspiration for the Stone Cold Steve Austin character, and an icon of Hardcore Wrestling.

How about another ECW Alum: Tommy Dreamer?

[Dark-Crusader]

Another hardcore icon, although the latter of his careeer is a lot left to be desired, he deserves an induction. I'm sure once is all said and done he will be inducted eventually. He left on good terms with WWE last I checked so yes.

Keeping it on the ECDub train...Sabu?

[MournDespana]

sabu, I want to say no, but i have a feeling he will.

rick Rude

[Deadman]

He should, one the best heels ever period, great matches, great promos, that man knew how to draw heat, I say yes

Muta

[The Hurra Duff]

I hope he'll get in one day; great performer and I loved the green mist when I was little. He also needs to get in due to the lack of Asians in the HoF (Mr. Fuji and Antoni Inoki are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head).

JJ Dillion?

[HBK911]

I hope he'll get in one day; great performer and I loved the green mist when I was little. He also needs to get in due to the lack of Asians in the HoF (Mr. Fuji and Antoni Inoki are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head).

JJ Dillion?

JJ Dillion? I think he should go in with The Horsemen.

If Flair were still there (or even if he came BACK) he could induct Arn, Tully, Windham, and JJ all as a group.

It'd be fitting, seeing as Flair is already IN the Hall of Fame, AND to have the Horsemen be the FIRST FACTION ever inducted into the WWE HOF.

Eric Bischoff (not sure if he was mentioned yet tho)

[sheogorath]

Yes he would be he can go on his wwe merits and all they'd have to do acknowledge how long he wrestled altogether

Mick Foley?

[sheogorath]

sorry was responding to kurt angle

[Thomas]

Mick Foley is without doubt a hall of famer. Probably won't go in for 10 years though I would say.

[RIPbossman]

Mick Foley will definitely get in. His 3 World Title reigns were not the greatest of all time, but he was a great attraction and provided some classic matches and classic entertainment. He obviously won't get in while still being employed by TNA, but somewhere down the road it will happen.


Macho Man Randy Savage: Should he get in? Will he get in?

[Thurl]

After Vince Mcmahon Jr dies, he will definitely get in. Too much stuff for it to happen anytime soon though..

How about Nick Dinsmore, aka Eugene, aka Doink at one point.

[drchannard]

I seriously doubt it. He never really made that big of an impact.

What about Akeem/One Man Gang?

[MournDespana]

I have answered this before, yes, along with slick and Bossman in the same class.

Teddy Long

[Gooner]

Yes to teddy, big enough and has been with WWE long enough. Best GM in WWE ever.

Chavo Guerrero

[The Hurra Duff]

Tough call. I'm gonna say yes; if/when the Guerrero family goes in as a whole (ala the Von Erichs in 2009).

Eric Bischoff?

[Dark-Crusader]

I say yes. Bischoff's time in WWE should be recognized as he was highly influential and impactful on the product. Of course this will take place years down the line after he's completely done with TNA.

The Dudley Boyz (Known as Team 3d now)

[The Hurra Duff]

The Dudley Boys are HoFers for sure. How could you deny the most decorated tag team in wrestling history (22 time Tag Team Champs I believe)?

Scott Hall?

[TeamFarrell]

Scott Hall's a tough one.

On one hand: he had a major influence on wrestling history (founding member of the nWo), he was a very successful singles star in WWF as Razor Ramon and a successful tag teams tar in WCW and has (had?) some very influential friends in WWE in HHH and HBK.
On the other hand: Once he left WWE he never found much success as a singles star, always taking a back seat to Hogan and Nash, his successful years weren't long (8 years from 1992-2000 and it could be argued that his real success ended in 1998) and the latter of his successful years (right up to today) were marred with drug and alcohol issues. Since leaving WWE in 2002 he hasn't done anything worth mentioning but get fat.

I'd say its a push. If Jake Roberts gets in (who had a similar, albeit more successful, career) then yes, if not then no.

What about this: The nWo as an entity. Have Hogan, Hall and Nash accept (since from what I've read Nash is still on good terms with WWE and Hogan and VKM have always had a rocky relationship but always done business).

[Killswitch]

What makes Shawn HOF? I mean he was champ durring the lowest time in the WWE business wise. He is no hulk hogan, he was a drug addict. he was bad for business and he took like 5 years off.

Chris Benoit wasn't exactly driving record buyrates, but it's generally recognized that he would have been HOF bound had he not gone batshit crazy. And Hogan was a steroid addict, what's the difference?

HBK is a 4 time World Champion, 2 time Royal Rumble winner, the first Grand Slam Champion and is generally regarded amongst fans and his peers as one of the best wrestlers of his generation.

I'd say he is a Hall of Famer. Easily.

[drchannard]

I'd say its a push. If Jake Roberts gets in (who had a similar, albeit more successful, career) then yes, if not then no.

Curious. I would have considered Hall to havve the more successful career than Jake the Snake, and I'm a big Snake mark. I agree though, once one goes in, the other probably won't be too far behind.


What about this: The nWo as an entity. Have Hogan, Hall and Nash accept (since from what I've read Nash is still on good terms with WWE and Hogan and VKM have always had a rocky relationship but always done business).

This is an interesting concept and one I'd like to see happen, but I'm not sure if it will. I will say that the 4 Horsemen should be in the HoF before the nWo and that DX probably will get in before the nWo (at least the Michaels/HHH one). If it does happen, I think Nash, Hogan, and Bischoff are more likely to accept it before Hall or Syxx are invited.

Celebrity HoF:

Donald Trump

[SuperiorState]

Celebrity HoF:

Donald Trump

yes.

Gold Dust

[Deadman]

yes.

Gold Dust

I would say yes, his gimmick was gold (Pardon the pun) and he was a multiple time IC champ, tag champion, plus his WCW days, I would say yes, never been a world champ but he is deserving of the hall

Taz?

[The Hurra Duff]

Tough call. I think he deserves to get in but Vince McMahon may not let him. For one thing, supposedly Taz left under not the best circumstances (he quit) and Vince has never really cared for smaller wrestlers (save for HBK, Eddie Guerrero, Benoit etc.)

How about Flying Brian Pillman (he may already be in-honestly can't remember)?

[HBK911]

Chris Benoit wasn't exactly driving record buyrates, but it's generally recognized that he would have been HOF bound had he not gone batshit crazy. And Hogan was a steroid addict, what's the difference?

HBK is a 4 time World Champion, 2 time Royal Rumble winner, the first Grand Slam Champion and is generally regarded amongst fans and his peers as one of the best wrestlers of his generation.

I'd say he is a Hall of Famer. Easily.

She hates HBK with a passion. Therefore, any argument you or I make will go over her head.

As far as she's concerned, HBK has done more "wrong" than anyone else on the planet.

As for Brian Pillman (the other guys HOF question) I'm on the fence w/that one.

They may be waiting to induct the entire "Hart Foundation" in posthumously (save for Jim Neidhart, who is still alive) and have Bret induct them.

Here's one for you...(lol @ what I'm about to say...)

Brother Love?

[Cubscout83]

I dont think brother love will get in, but hey who knows less deserving people have made it in

Public Enemy

[TeamFarrell]

I Taz?
No chance. He was an okay wrestler and character, but he had so few successful years. He didn't really find a ton of "overness" or success outside of winning a few tag titles in ECW until 1995, and then he was only in the company for four years. In WWE he had no success. He beat Kurt Angle in his debut, then what? Floundered for two years. He's always been massively overrated. In my mind his success in ECW is outweighed by his failure in WWE.

Public Enemy
No. Again, no real success outside of ECW. They couldn't get over when they left. They wrestled in all of "The Big Three", but multiple promotions does not a HOF'er make.

[Dark-Crusader]

Former WWE Diva Ivory

[The Hurra Duff]

Ivory deserves to be in the HoF. She may be one of most underrated "Divas" in WWE history (along with Molly Holly). She was a great wrestler and a good talker; but since she wasn't the typical WWE Diva she wasn't pushed as much as other Divas (Lita, Trish etc.)

Kevin Nash?

[Thurl]

Probably at some point he will be. Not on his own though, he didn't do enough in the WWE to earn a spot on his own. As a team with nWo though. He is in.


How about the Bushwackers?

[TeamFarrell]

That's another tough one. Again, they didn't really find "success" in WWF (despite finding it everywhere else), but were massively popular. On the flip side, Luke is one of the most respected bookers and workers that there is internationally and has an unreal mind for the business.

They were company guys (with WWF for 7 years) and the "Bushwacker" personna as it is today (which Luke still uses) is a WWF creation (from violence to family-friendly comedy). They deserve major credit for being able to adapt to the change in style that WWF required of them, and I'll say yes on the grounds the KoKo B. Ware got the nod.

Stan "I Knocked Vader's Motherfucking Eye Out Because I'm the Toughest Fucker Ever To Live" Hansen

[drchannard]

Hmmmmm, that's an interesting one.

He definitely has the history and the career to warrent a HoF induction, but none of it came in the WWF (unless you count being in the No Holds Barred movie). This unfortunately will count against him as I don't think the casual WWE/F fan will know much about him. However, he could get a call to be inducted as one of the "not as well known but big for the business as a whole". He SHOULD be inducted but I'll give it less than 50% chance of it actually happening. That still means there's a chance though so I'll say yes.

Still, that doesn't mean he'll accept.

Do any refs hae a chance to be inducted?

Either the Hebners or Dangerous Danny Davis

[Styxx]

To make a note on Hansen - If he can induct Inoki who most American couldn't care less over then he's in.

Hebners I doubt will be in. All three left on very bad terms so it's more likely Davis gets in on that alone.


If he's not in already. Rick Martel.

[The Hurra Duff]

Absolutely Martel deserves to be in the HoF. Multiple time tag champ (with Tony Garea and Tito Santana), WCW TV Champ, great heel persona with his Model gimmick and a very good worker.

Honky Tonk Man?

[pakopako]

Honky Tonk Man?

Funny, I though he was already in there -- List here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Hall_of_Fame)

I think he should be, even if he was just incredibly annoying. (Come to think of it, that's kinda a watered-down Roddy Roddy Piper.)

How about Bam Bam Bigelow? (considering WWE owns WCW/ECW history as well)

[Double Murder Josh]

Definitely should have Bammer in there. Headlined a WrestleMania. Feuded with the best of the very best whenever he was in WWE and has the respect of many in-the-know fans for his heroics in 2000 (when he suffered serious burns on half his body saving 3 children from a burning house). One of, if not THE, most agile big men ever and easily one of the most recognizeable performers of the TV era (thanks to his trademark tattoos and flaming [in a non-gay way] ring attire). Hopefully he will get inducted next year during the Atlanta/WCW celebration, though it is difficult to tie Bam Bam in with any single wrestling organization - he was fantastic in all of them and left a huge impression on millions of fans worldwide along the way. A very deserving induction that I wouldn't mind seeing a DVD about either.



Slick

[HBK911]

Probably at some point he will be. Not on his own though, he didn't do enough in the WWE to earn a spot on his own. As a team with nWo though. He is in.

How about the Bushwackers?

I think Nash did more than the Bushwackers did, though.

In any event, someone mentioned SLICK....

I hope so, @ Slick. Heenan's in, Hart's in, Fuji's in, Sherri's in. It's only fitting that the 5th and final manager from that era go in as well.

The question is, who would INDUCT him? Bossman's dead, and Blassie's dead.

And no one else he was associated with was "big enough" in WWE to induct him.

Here's one: Earthquake?

[The Hurra Duff]

Yes to Earthquake. I always thought he was underrated and he scared the snot out of me when I was a young kid.

How about his Natural Disasters partner Typhoon (also known as Tugboat)?

[swantonbomb780]

The only thing i think about when seeing him is the shockmaster so i'll say no

Seeing as eddies in and bentiot would of if he didn't go bat shit crazy how about dean malenko

[BigSteve316]

Yes for Dean Malenko. Hes is a decent preformer in ECW, WCW and was even ok in WWE.

Talking about the Radicalz.. Perry Saturn.

[MournDespana]

Saturn never had a huge impact. Moppy? He is not anywhere near HoF. And I liked Saturn.


Papa Shango/Kama Mustafa/Godfather

[Dark-Crusader]

Good Ol' Godfather/Papa Shango? I say yes. Him being a former IC champion and Tag Team champion, along with being ranked 353 in PWI for best singles wrestler is nice, but I don't think to WWE that warrants him a spot. However there's nothing more I would like to see than him being inducted with his "Ho Train" on stage with him.

How about this one: Mr. Self-High Five...Diamond Dallas Page

[ejradio]

Good Ol' Godfather/Papa Shango? I say yes. Him being a former IC champion and Tag Team champion, along with being ranked 353 in PWI for best singles wrestler is nice, but I don't think to WWE that warrants him a spot. However there's nothing more I would like to see than him being inducted with his "Ho Train" on stage with him.

How about this one: Mr. Self-High Five...Diamond Dallas Page

I believe if he was to ever be inducted it will be next year with the WWE/WCW theme

Marty Janetty?

[Irishsara]

I dont think Janetty goes in. I just dont think there is enough Tape in the WWE library to justify it. Unlike Stan Hansen who the WWE has ALL the AWA tapes and the WWE stuff he did.

On HBK i dont think the good stuff he did the second time through in the WWE overrides what he did behind the curtain. I say he goes in, i just buried him when i did it.

Jim Cornette?

[The Hurra Duff]

Probably not a HoFer since didn't he leave on very bad terms with Vince; maybe if they iron things out he'll get in because Cornette was a great heel manager for years (he was the NWA/WCW version of Bobby Heenan).

How about the Rogeau Brothers (Ramon and Jacque)?

[Cold Summ3r]

Probably not a HoFer since didn't he leave on very bad terms with Vince; maybe if they iron things out he'll get in because Cornette was a great heel manager for years (he was the NWA/WCW version of Bobby Heenan).

How about the Rogeau Brothers (Ramon and Jacque)?

Not sure but I'll throw out a maybe on that one.

Sting

[Thurl]

Eventually, once he is out of TNA, he is definitely in for WCW reasons.

How about Spike Dudley..

[Dark-Crusader]

I doubt it. The Dudleys will have a while to get in as it is. Spike was entertaining and very cool to watch in the ring, but not a hall of famer in my eyes. That doesn't mean he wasn't one of the best to do it in the cruiserweight division though.

Rikishi

[RIPbossman]

I'll say Rikishi should not and probably won't become a Hall of Famer. He was a big midcard attraction for a while, and provided some good entertainment. But for the most part he was not a main eventer and I feel fans grew tired of him.

Rikishi's sons are reportedly in WWE now (or in developmental, I'm not sure). If they become big stars, I could see Rikishi being inducted just like Cowboy Bob Orton. You could make a good argument for Rikishi, but overall there are many other wrestlers more deserving than him.


Haku/Meng

[ejradio]

Haku/Meng

I believe one day he will.

Torie Wilson

[TeamFarrell]

No chance. She never made a big enough impact in the business and, while attractive, was nothing more than their typical blonde Diva. Kelly Kelly deserves it about as much. For a woman to make it into the HoF she has to make an outstanding contribution over and above her male counterparts (which is unfortunate, but attractive women that do nothing are a dime a dozen). Women making it into the HoF would be like Chyna (first female IC Champion) when she cleans up her act, or Miss Liz (the woman that helped make Macho Madness).

Sting. He's made no contribution to WWE, but he was a major star in WCW (which WWE owns) and has become hugely successful even without WWE's invovlement.

[The Hurra Duff]

He surely will get in maybe even in 2011 depending on if he signs for another year at TNA; he is on a year to year contract with him. Crying shame he never signed with Vince; he could've been so HUGE with WWE.

How about Lex Luger?

[Sage Tellah]

He surely will get in maybe even in 2011 depending on if he signs for another year at TNA; he is on a year to year contract with him. Crying shame he never signed with Vince; he could've been so HUGE with WWE.

How about Lex Luger?

I think Lex Luger makes it in to the WWE Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, with his recent legal issues, he likely won't be in anytime soon. But I think in the next 5-7 years he'll make it in. He was awesome in his early WCW run & his WWF run. Also, his second run in WCW was pretty decent, including his time with the NWO.

Next up : Billy Gunn (aka Mr Ass)
http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/Bios/BillyGunn.JPG

[heartbreakkid]

Billy Gunn? A very slim chance.

What about Val venis?

[BigSteve316]

Definatly no for Val Venis, he was an average midcarder for a while but never did anything great.

What about Mark Henry (after he retires)?

[Sage Tellah]

Definatly no for Val Venis, he was an average midcarder for a while but never did anything great.

What about Mark Henry (after he retires)?
I'd say no. Sure, he's been in the WWF/WWE for a long time. But he's never really made an impact or accomplished much in his career. He's simply a mid-carder and nothing more. So, no.

Next : The Barbarian/Seone

[Irishsara]

No not even a little bit. Its not a midcard hall of fame. I mean maybe if they induct Meng and The Barbarian together but i just dont think hes good enough.

Bullet Bob Armstrong?

[TeamFarrell]

Tough one, but I'd say no. He hasn't really done much for the business to warrant it and was never really overwhelmingly successful. He held a ton of regional titles, but he's never really been an massive success in the business. In fact, I'd argue he's done more of note since retiring and working with TNA than he ever did in the prime of his career.

What about Armstrong's progeny: The Road Dogg Jesse James?

[The Hurra Duff]

I'd say NO if it were on his own merit but YES if he would go in as part of the Armstrong Family (ala the Funks and Von Erichs).

Gary Hart (manager in WCCW's heydays, also managed Terry Funk during his classic 1989 feud with Ric Flair)?

[Dark-Crusader]

Also hard to say. He definitely was a great as far as his manager days go. It's a shame he MIGHT not have gotten in while alive; but he might now since he's passed. I hope yes. However, something tells me it wont be for awhile.

What about Ernest "The Cat" Miller? (WCW inspired hall of fame maybe?)

[TeamFarrell]

What about Ernest "The Cat" Miller? (WCW inspired hall of fame maybe?)

No way. I loved Miller as much as the next guy (he was my favorite wrestler going for a period in 2000), but he's no HoF'er. He was an entertaining character, but never did much of anything to warrant an induction. He was good in The Wrestler though.

Stan "The Man" Stasiak

[The Hurra Duff]

Probably not while he is alive. I really don't remember much about him. He wrestled before I was born. I also know he was WWE champ for about a month (I believe either Bruno Sammartino or Pedro Morales beat him for the title).

What about Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake?

[the end]

Only his "Bootyman" persona. I could see them throwing Bruti a bone one day and letting him in, but he's not on my short list of guys who should make it.

Abdullah the Butcher?

[The Hurra Duff]

He is an on the fence guy I think. He really was a forerunner when it came to HARDCORE Wrestling but as far as I know he wasn't really in WWE for any period of time and was never really a champion (someone correct me if I'm wrong). If he gets in, I think it'll be after he has passed away.

How about Dino Bravo?

[RIPbossman]

I'll say Dino Bravo should not and will not get in. He wasn't anything special inside the ring or on the microphone. He's really just a foot note in wrestling history, and nothing more. And even if he deserved it, I feel his violent death would probably prevent WWE from inducting him for a long while.


Bam Bam Bigelow

[TeamFarrell]

I would say yes. He wasn't the most successful wrestler in history but, like Vader, he revolutionized "Big Man" wrestling and set the bar incredibly high for future wrestlers. He's in a class of guys like Undertaker, Vader and even Kane that proved you could be a big, hulking guy but you could also be agile and wrestle.

Since Jr. works for them now: Dos Caras

[KeenanField]

hopefully

When TNA is bought: Samoa Joe

[Dark-Crusader]

Even if TNA is bought out ala WCW fashion, I don't believe he will make hall of fame. He had a nice run in TNA and IF he does come to WWE; I am not going to buy him making a huge impact in that time frame where he could make it.


Mick Foley (Post TNA of course)

[Thurl]

If he can get along with Vince again. He is a shoe in. Should already be in there in my opinion. The Funker should induct him.

How about.. Legion of Doom

[Todd1928]

Definitely, they are widely regarded as one of the best tag teams in history

What about Sting? Keep in mind that he never set foot in the WWE but will that matter, in 2004 Pete Rose was inducted and he wasn't even a wrestler, promoter or manager so why not Sting.

[The Hurra Duff]

Of course Sting is a Hall of Famer. It may even happen in 2011 should Sting decide to not renew his TNA contract in October (I believe he is on a year to year basis with TNA).

Sycho Sid/Sid Vicious/Sid Justice?

[RIPbossman]

I'll say he won't get in and doesn't deserve to. The guy generally has a reputation for being overpushed and not living up to the expectations of fans and promoters. He's also made many mistakes during his mic work over the years. While I personally think he is kind of fun to watch, he shouldn't and won't get in.


Sean Waltman (X-Pac, 1-2-3 Kid, Syxx Pac)

[The Hurra Duff]

He doesn't deserve to get in but he probably will since him and Hunter are/were boys. I'm probably in the minority but I just don't think he was that great a worker. Plus he's had his share of demons in the past (drugs/alcohol etc).

How about the current WHC Kane?

[BigSteve316]

Without a doubt Kane will be in there one day. Long career, hard worker and has held the title.

How about Tommy Dreamer?

[stjimmy1991]

Dreamer is pretty tough. Before the TNA-ECW, I would have guessed so. Dreamer was involved with the company for a long time, and it wouldn't suprise me to see an ECW themed HOF somewhere in the future. But seeing as though he's made some pretty derogatory comments about WWECW apparantly, I'd say he wouldn't. He'd hardly get in for his time on RAW in 02/03 would he? Hardcore championship reigns are about as weak an accolade as possible.

Chyna? =D

[Thurl]

For being the only female in WWE history to ever hold a men's title, she will be in. But not until WWE start getting desperate for class members..

Simon Dean?

[dfeeel2]

Hell no, Simon Deans gimmick was cheap and time in ECW is not enough anyway.



Chyna. Obviously, Post-WWE life has not been kind to her, but think in terms of deservedness.

[Hidden]

Chyna errrrr no I don't think so. Stephanie will be running the company soon, and HHH supposedly never even spoke to her again after she found out he was poking Steph. No way, nooooooo way.

Beth will win a mans title at some point, maybe even twice just so she has Chyna beat, guarantee it.

[dfeeel2]

I just realized someone just said Chyna, I feel like an idiot haha.
Yeah I agree about Beth, ok what about..

Edge.

[Hidden]

Edge will definately be a hall of famer.

But what about his bro Christian ?

[dfeeel2]

Honestly, unless a big heroic WHC push comes along for Christian soon, the HoF is just not happening, what has he done.

[Hidden]

Longest reigning ECW champion ever LOL

He's Captain Charisma dude what else does he need to have done.

[dfeeel2]

Please don't count the sad excuse for a heavyweight title (The WWE version of the ECW championship) as something valuable.
Ok off topic.


Trish Stratus, when

[The Hurra Duff]

I think Ms. Elizabeth needs to get in before Trish. However, Trish probably gets in first.

How about Ravishing Rick Rude?

[RIPbossman]

Rick Rude should absolutely get in. He was an all around great performer. He died relatively young though, so WWE might not want to induct him in the near future. But somewhere down the line he should get in. Also, before the Raw/Nitro simulcast Rude actually appeared on Raw and Nitro on the same night. That was pretty cool.


Brutus Beefcake

[Dark-Crusader]

Beefcake should definitely go in. I'm surprised he isn't in yet to be honest. His "The Barbershop" interviewing segment, promos, and his time with "The Hammer", alone, puts him at the top with the all time greats.

Yokozuna

[MournDespana]

^Yes, two time champ and died way too young.

Jacques Rougeau

[The Hurra Duff]

He may get in one day with his brother as a pair but not on his own merit; I'd like to see the Rogeaus get in someday. They were pretty good heels and very underrated wrestlers.

Speaking of tag teams, what about The Nasty Boys?

[Thurl]

The Nasties? Yeah, they will be in. Especially if Hogan gets on good terms with Vince ever again. Hard to believe Hogan would let one of his best buddies be left out of the HoF.

How about...

Scotty 2 Hotty?

[swantonbomb780]

I dont think so it would be cool though

Even though I don't like him much JBL

[BigSteve316]

I expect JBL would, he was the top heel in WWE for a while and held the title.

How about Ken Shamrock?

[The Hurra Duff]

My guess is probably not. He was a decent wrestler but nothing great; however, there's some people in the HoF that did less than Shamrock did. That being said maybe they oughta let him in on the sole basis of that steel chair shot he took right in the face by The Rock that one night on RAW back in 98 I believe. That was such a badass moment.

The Rock (not a question of IF but WHEN)

[SuperiorState]

My guess is probably not. He was a decent wrestler but nothing great; however, there's some people in the HoF that did less than Shamrock did. That being said maybe they oughta let him in on the sole basis of that steel chair shot he took right in the face by The Rock that one night on RAW back in 98 I believe. That was such a badass moment.

The Rock (not a question of IF but WHEN)

Whenever he comes back to the WWE in some way like GM or something


It might have been mentioned but I'm just trying to get the thread going again...
Rey Mysterio, Jr.

[RIPbossman]

Rey Mysterio should definitely get in. He has had many great matches, including many with main eventers. He has main evented Wrestlemania and is a two time World Champion. I don't see any reason why WWE wouldn't induct him some day, so I'm saying he should and will get in.


Also, it's alright to repeat wrestlers in this thread. But having the same poster answer the same person more than once is pointless.


Owen Hart (if he had never died in a WWE ring)

[Dark-Crusader]

Owen, whether dying on WWE turf or not, should definitely get in. I know that WWE isn't exactly "thrilled" about having controversial wrestlers inducted into the hall of fame, however Owen's case was in no direct or indirect violation on his part. He deserves it.

The Hart Foundation ( as a family faction)

[BigSteve316]

Definatly. Bret Hart and Stu Hart are already in but could easily see them doing the rest of the Hart family, espically if they can get Owens family to let him be inducted.

The late Brian Pillman?

[The Hurra Duff]

I'm surprised he isn't already in there. He certainly belongs in the HoF. He was a pioneer in a way as he was one of the first high flyers in American wrestling in the late 80's and early 90's (at least that I can remember).

Dave Batista?

[LivingZen]

I wouldn't think so, but he was a top tier guy for WWE for a while, so he might get in down the track.

And just to see a reaction...

David Arquette (in the celebrity wing, of course)

[The Hurra Duff]

Well since he's a former WCW World Champ, sure why the hell not.

Sabu?

[RIPbossman]

To comment on David Arquette, I feel he should not get in. In a kayfabe sense he was a tremendous over achiever. However, he hurt the credibility of the company and the value of the WCW title itself. He is seen as a stain on wrestling history. Where as guys like Pete Rose and William Perry came nowhere close to winning the World Title, they played their role in an appropriate way that benefitted WWE.


I actually think Sabu should get in for being somewhat of a trail blazer. He is credited with being the person who started using tables in the U.S. on a regular basis. He played his gimmick well, and although he clearly made many mistakes in the ring, Terry Funk himself said "(Sabu) should have made millions."

But WWE won't put him in. They just don't seem to think much of him.


Dennis Rodman

[Thurl]

Part of me says hell no. Rodman just didn't do a whole heck of a lot for wresting. I can see the WWE putting him in for a WCW Celeb wing person though. Who else would they put in for the WCW year?

How about Perry Saturn?

[brian massacre]

most likely no and even if they wanted to they could never find him

lets see how bout former ic champ ahmed johnson

[The Hurra Duff]

Absolutely not. I almost forgot he was even in WWE let alone a IC Champ. The only thing I remember about him was he was in WCW towards the end as part of the New Harlem Heat (with Stevie Ray after him and Booker split).

Teddy Long?

[TeamFarrell]

I could see it. He was a good manager and ref, and an excellent GM on SmackDown for the past few years. I'd say he'd the first 21st Century figure to deserve it.
