Hopefully Carlos doesn't spend too much on a tux. He owes a few guys some money.

I hope a very audible "Brody" or "Huss" chant starts when Colon tries to make his speech.

I think its safe to say most WWE fans aren't aware of the Brody incident, let alone who Brody was. So it will probably go unnoticed to the casual fan. Each year, they always induct undercard names to fill out the HOF, & this year its Colon.

dynamite kid broken a women's legs and held a gun to his wife's head...doesn't mean he wasn't an amazing pro wrestler deserving of the hall of fame.

90% of wrestlers are dirt bags, scum bags or have done something illegal or have done something the general public wouldn't approve of.
Doesn't mean they aren't great wrestlers.
You gotta separate the two.

The WWE puts a lot of pride in their HOF, seemingly.
I understand what Colon brought to the world of pro wrestling via Puerto Rico, but can't say IMO it's that impressive, and that's even before the death of Bruiser Brody is taken into account.

I don't know, it sounds like it would be similar if Carlos Colon did cover up the murder. It's all speculation if Colon did cover up the murder to protect Jose Gonzales, AKA Invader #1. I'm gonna enjoy the hall of fame, I'm not gonna worry about whether Carlos Colon deserves the Hall of Fame, I'm not gonna worry about if he covered up the murder. I mean if he did do it, he's a piece of s*** for covering up the murder, but there's no confirmation that he did. From the stories I've heard, there wasn't much bad blood between Brody and Colon before the murder. So I'm not going to let this speculation ruin the hall of fame for me. Now it doesn't mean I'm defending Colon, but since I don't know the truth other than Jose Gonzales murdered Brody, I'm not gonna let me bother me much. Again we don't know but you guys are treating him as if he did with zero evidence. No you're right, people are treating him as if he did cover the murder without any proof

Involved or not, Colon didn't have to do anything to cover it up. The Puerto Rican police were never going to convict their hero invader 1.
I can see why people would think he was involved. But we'll never really know for sure how much he had to do with the murder, if anything. The biggest evidence that he did is that he was the boss, but he mostly got along with Brody and hasn't had bad blood with the people who witnessed the murder. All of that is circumstantial, so I don't see the point in acting like anything is certain.

Christ. Between Mike Tyson, Carlos Colon, Jimmy Snuka and Abdullah, the HOF is a whose who of twats. Why exactly isn't Benoit allowed again? He choked his small innocent child to death. I mean it's not a contest of who is the worst, but that is worse than those other things.

Don't worry, I'll back you on this. Carlos Colon only had any pull because he owned the company (WWC) and put himself over as champion. He never had any real talent. Sounds like a certain John Zandig who liked to main event his own company. I pray to god you're not a DJ fan, making those types of comments.

The fact that they brought him in for a rumble and hired his kids and nephew tells you the WWE does not care. Hopefully Brody does not get inducted alongside Colon. I don't see why hiring kids & nephews should have anything to do with WWE caring. It is how things work in the world, but it's a shame that it would matter what our father has done/not done, for what we get out of life (chances for example at employment). Let's say snuka was found guilty of murder & colon guilty of a cover-up or even conspiracy to the act...does that mean that their kids shouldn't have a chance at separating themselves? They weren't the guilty ones. If Pete Rose had a kid, I'm sure he could go play baseball if he wanted.

And comparing what you all think Carlos MAY have done in covering the Brody murder up to Benoit savagely murdering his wife and child shows how out to lunch some of you are. It's not even in the same ball park I don't know, it sounds like it would be similar if Carlos Colon did cover up the murder. It's all speculation if Colon did cover up the murder to protect Jose Gonzales, AKA Invader #1. I'm gonna enjoy the hall of fame, I'm not gonna worry about whether Carlos Colon deserves the Hall of Fame, I'm not gonna worry about if he covered up the murder.

Now it doesn't mean I'm defending Colon, but since I don't know the truth other than Jose Gonzales murdered Brody, I'm not gonna let me bother me much. completely agree

Has Tony Atlas ever said anything about it? Has Zeb ever said anything about it?
Unless one of those two say something, I don't believe it. Hell, Zeb continued working there for years, do you think he'd keep working there if he thought Colon did something?
