i think its funny how for a long time most wrestling fans have completely Chocolate Shark on the WWE Hall of Fame, calling it a joke...a worthless award, a waste of time, stupid, pointless, dumb...."why do they even have it? it's just a gimmick" but yet every time a major name in wrestling is going to get inducted, everyone freaks the out with excitement. and then comes the "well why hasn't _______ been inducted yet? " and now we get Kurt Angle. Are we ever going to reach the point where we, as wrestling fans, can agree that everything they are doing with the WWE Hall of Fame is actually GOOD and right?

Everyone currently in the hof is worthy. Yes there are people that should be in it by now, but everyone in it is worthy. Yes even Koko B. Ware

There are a crapload of guys and gals who should be in that aren't. Then there are a lot of people who have no business being in that got inducted, which hurts the credibility. But in Kurt's case, we didn't know when we were going to see him back, if ever. Then out of the blue 11 years later we find out he'll be back.

Chyna did porn, that's it. I'm not going to say that it's right or wrong or whatever it may be. But then you compare that and see Sunny, despite the stuff that she's done in her life and still continues to do, and she gets inducted into the HOF. I just don't get it. Chyna has passed and I think she deserves the nod soon enough. It's very deserved. One of the most deserving women to get that induction.

I'm curious to see what they do with X-Pac since it's all but guaranteed that he'll get in with DX and/or nWo.

I was so shocked and surprised by the announcement. I'm so glad Kurt has come home.
Can we now have him manage American Alpha?

Last year WWE did the right thing and added a "legacy" portion to the HOF, which added like 6 people. Here's the list.

There will always be an argument simply because of who they can/cannot put in and who they chose to. The Bushwackers are a HOF team. Im not going to discredit that. However to say they should be in before the Steiner Brothers is kinda silly. But because of circumstances, the Steiners cant/wont go in. It would be like the Pro Football Hall of Fame putting in Andre Reed before Jerry Rice.

Surreal. I had a dream about him the other day returning in the Rumble match and squaring off with Rusev to the biggest ovation ever. So glad he's finally coming back!
