People keep using accomplishments as criteria for an induction. But the thing is wrestling is all predetermined (sorry kids) so accomplishments are futile really. Some compare this HOF to the NFL HOF or MLB HOF but it's completely different. I take the WWE HOF as a way for WWE & their fans to say "thank you" one last time. Thank you to the talent. Thank you to the celebrities. Thank you to anyone who meant anything to them and to us. We make not care for Rikishi (I hated that gimmick) but no denying many fans did. I hated The Bushwhackers, but no denying they were loved by many. Wrestling isn't just about us and our likes. I can guarantee that out there are fans out there that will look at their induction the same way I will look at Randy Savage's. They will reminisce. They will laugh and they may cry. And for those fans, I'm happy for whomever gets the induction. This hit the nail right on the head. The WWE Hall of Fame truly is a "final thank you" both by the company and the fans. Koko B Ware had many fun and memorable moments (at least for me growing up). Same with Rikishi and the numerous celebrities (except of Arnold as I missed all of his appearances). I always look at the WWE Hall of Fame in the light you mentioned Marino, and with that said if the Bushwhackers go in this year, all the more power to them. Sadly they will go into the WWE Hall of Fame as their WWE Gimmick and not as the bad asses they were when the they were known as the Sheepheaders. This years Class is bringing back so many memories for me and in my opinion that is what the Hall of Fame it truly all about. When it comes to the Hall of Fame the WWE doesn't seem to want to forget the past for once. |

What a damn joke
The Bushwackers???
No Freebirds? No Midnight Express? I know they weren't WWE but neither was Abdullah and Carlos Colon and others
Did the Bushwackers even have more wins than losses?
They belong in the little wing with Koko B Ware!

Wow. The Bushwhackers? They're irrelevant compared to other worthy teams.

Sadly the whole Benoit thing will always be argued. I don't think he should go in, but is what it is regardless. I don't think I've heard anybody ask for him to go in the Hall of Fame in years, probably since like 07/08. And even then, it was like kids of about 12 who didn't really understand that he'd actually murdered people. I still see people clamoring for it. |

I'm pretty sure the Buschwackers had a successful run prior to the WWF.

I'm pretty sure the Buschwackers had a successful run prior to the WWF. I know they were big in New Zealand and they has runs in Canada add America before signing with the WWF. I have no idea what they did in North America before they signed, but they must have been doing something right. Either way, they don't belong in any credible hall of fame. But the WWE has made it very clear that they want to have the hall of very good, so the Bushwhackers fit right in. |

I'm pretty sure the Buschwackers had a successful run prior to the WWF. The Sheepherders and they might have had another name in another promotion also. But they weren't the comical gimmick that the WWF made them into. They were pretty violent prior to their Bushwhackers gimmick. |

In all fairness the Freebirds should be a lock for next year. |

Meh, I don't really care about the Bushwackers. Pretty underwhelming, if you ask me.
HOF class is kinda weak....Savage is the main point, but he's not going to be there, so the entire ceremony should be pretty lackluster.

Im not going to read through 5 pages but ive noticed alot of complaints about the HOF from the stuff ive read. So here are a couple more key points id like to share
If the hall of fame was all headliners/ "major stars"(everyone has a different opinion on who is a top guy), then wwe would run out of people to put in. the hall of fame is broken down just like any of the tv shows, with different tier talent and individuals to cater to all demographics of the audience. undercards, old school, tag teams, women, main event.
the other problem is what hunter spoke to austin about in the podcast. Yes there are tons of people who "deserve" to be in the Hall of Fame, but just like with anything there might be hurdles or a flat out decline from that individual. he said they have asked people and have been turned down so they move onto the next.
it would seem after reading some of the responses that people dont even think of all scenarios before they post.

I like the Bushwackers, so I have no problem with them being in the Hall of Fame. They had a great career as the Sheepherders and they were entertaining for me watching old tapes as the Bushwackers.
