In a new article posted by SLAM! Wrestling, Lanny Poffo, brother of the late Macho Man Randy Savage, spoke out about the WWE Hall of Fame and had the following to say:
"Yes, we talked about it. As a matter of fact, what he was, remember when the Von Erichs got into the Hall of Fame? That was the first time he'd mentioned it, and my father was still alive. We celebrated his birthday, and at this point my father was coherent. He says, 'The Von Erichs are in the Hall of Fame? I'm not going in, ever, into the Hall of Fame unless it's the Poffos, Lanny, Randy and Angelo.' That's what he said. We didn't cremate him against his wishes and we're not going to go into the Hall of Fame against his wishes either."Source: www.wrestlezone.com/news/241536-savage-on-wwe-hof-qim-not-going-in-ever-unless-its-the-poffosqWhat do you think? I'm not really against the Poffo's going into the Hall of Fame as a whole, but I think it'd take away from the Macho Man Randy Savage going into the Hall of Fame. He's someone who should be the highlight of the event, sort of like Shawn Michaels was the highlight of his HOF Class. Perhaps they could induct each member of the Poffo family separate? I dunno. At first I thought they were being selfish and merely asking for this because they want in the Hall of Fame, but if it was Randy's wish or his father's wish, then I say they respect it as much as I don't like the idea.

Wait did Randy say that or his Father? I honestly can't tell. The writer needs to work on noun and pronoun usage. It could go either way, but I'm assuming that he means that Randy's father said it to Randy and Lanny on his birthday. The other way he could've meant is Randy said it to the two of them on his father's birthday. That's why I put "if it was Randy or his father's wish..."  |

Don't like the idea. If it was Randy's wish, than you gotta respect it. But if it was his father's wish, I really see no reason why they need to go by it. Of course that's me, I feel most people probably think differently.

Lanny is probably just talking crap because it's his only chance of ever getting in.

I don't like the idea. When Randy goes in he should definitely be the focus of the class

Seriously, it's  ing Macho Man. Wasn't Bret Hart inducted on his own? That's what happens when a superstar transcends his family legacy. Savage deserves his own spotlight, I wish he would have had the chance to bask in that spotlight. |

Lanny is probably just talking poop because it's his only chance of ever getting in. The whole family's, tbh. Randy Savage is the only one that deserves the spot. |

I would honestly have no problem with that. They are a wrestling family and could all be inductees.

Randy Savage should go in by himself. If he were to go with ANYBODY else then it should be Elizabeth (divorce or not).
The Genius is not HoF worthy.
Then again...either was Koko B. Ware.

Of course that's me, I feel most people probably think differently. This makes no sense to me. Obviously this is about the whole not going by the father's wish, if it is indeed the father who said that. The reasoning is quite simple; the father's wish may not be the son's. I really don't think I need to elaborate anymore. If it turns out I do, than I will. |

But since Randy isn't around anymore it's really up to his estate to decide if he should go into the HOF or not. Since Lanny is part of that then he does get to have a say in whether or not to agree with his father and hold out until all the Poffo's get inducted together or just let Randy get inducted by himself. |

Oh, I know that. I just don't necessarily agree with it. Especially, since I'm positive he had a wife (meaning wife's over father's wish). |

I'm pretty sure that it was only Randy Savage and the Genius who were in the WWF out of the Poffo family.

I'm sure Angelo Poffo is worthy of the Hall of Fame, i'm just not clued in as to why, he's cetainly more deserving than some people in there. As for the Genius...Is he really Hall of Fame worthy? I enjoyed his manager days but surely its opening the door too wide... maybe he'll want to induct the Brothers Beverly with him?
