Bleh. HOF is a joke now anyways. Its just another cash grab for WWE at this point. They have just about ran out of big stars to put into the HOF, Now once we start getting into the 2000's generation, There will be people going in that make Koko B Ware seem like a star studded induction. There were hardly any big HOF worthy stars created in the 00s. Probably only 5-6 total so we are going to be seeing a ton of mid card curtain jerkers entering in the next 4-5 years.

Seems like a good idea to me.
HOF inductions are not only welcomed, they're allowed.

biggest stars from the worst time period the WWE has ever had in it's existence. this was a bleaker time period from a product stand point than even the New Generation era, because at least the in ring product (apart from the Mabel/Diesel program of 95 that should be best ignored) was sound. Batista/Khali arguably a worse main event program than Mabel/Diesel, and certainly in the top 5 worst programs ever. I'm not sure Gonzalez & Taker was ever a touring program, but if it was, it's the only definitively worse program I can think of. I am opposed to Batista being in the Hall of Fame. If he does get inducted, it shouldn't be for another 10+ years. Want a Hollywood actor who actually should be in the WWE Hall of Fame? Try The Rock, who still isn't inducted. Put dollar to dollar how much money The Rock drew versus Batista's, match quality, and even Hollywood and mainstream appeal. It's undisputed in every aspect The Rock is a bigger star. ing Koko B Ware is in the HOF and you're opposed to Batista? lmao Koko B Ware had an almost 30 year long career in top territories, including 6 years in the WWF, then an additional 10 years on the outskirts including sparatic appearances with WWE. He was a top featured performer for several of those years in the WWF, and at one time was second only to Hogan in babyface popularity. Batista debuted in October 1999. He was pushed because he was big. So yes, I am okay with Koko B Ware over Batista. Even though I never mentioned Koko, I mentioned the fact that The Rock ISN'T in and they're talking about putting in Batista.

He definitely deserves it. Batista was awesome and still is awesome.
Also, people get way too worked up over the Hall Of Fame. Like, dude, chill out. This isn't harming anyone and it was gonna happen sooner or later...

People get bent out of shape over the HOF and act like WWE is disrespecting people by the order in which they induct people. People throw sh*t fits that Owen isn't in, why did it take so long for Macho Man and Rick Rude to go in....there aren't WWE's decisions. You can't induct a wrestler without their agreement, and tons of guys just flat out turn it down, and those who have passed away, it's the decision of their family and whoever controls their estate.
Vince McMahon isn't sitting there in his tower being like "Yes, yes, Teddy Long and the Bushwackers are more worthy than Owen".....his wife is just totally against anything WWE/wrestling related.

I think the HOF should be tiered/wings to make it more relative size you don't have guys like Koko B Ware, Batista and a Flair all on the same level.
Maybe something like...
Legends/Icons(All time great/lifetime contribution) Flair, Hogan, Savage, Warrior, HBK, Austin, etc
Main Eventers (Has to have won world title): Diesel, Booker T, Foley, Edge, etc
Superstars (all others): Koko B Ware, M$M, etc
Tag Teams: LOD, R&R express, etc
Behind the Ring: Jim Johnson, Vince McMahon Sr, etc
Women included in standard tiers.

The induction classes kind of follow a similar formula. You usually have 1) Headliner 2) Popular Midcarder 3) Deceased/Posthumous Inductee 4) Old timer who wrestled for or was a promoter for another company 5) Woman 6) Tag Team or Faction 7) Celebrity 8) Miscellaneous non-wrestler

If you don't think they've asked the Rock, you're nuts. As soon as Rock is ready, he's in.

I'd laugh my ass off if he rejected it because of how much they keep rejecting his ideas for a final run and his previous return

Hey can someone tell me the address of the hall of fame? I believe scott steiner said it the best the wwe hof is total crap another show ot honor its past wrestlers and its great but they deserve more than a plaque and a ring they deserve a place where people and come and see there achievement in the ring. like the football hof baseball hof and more. what is really sad is Chyna had to die and now that pos triple h and bitch stephanie will now let her in the hof. does anyone else see anything wrong with this. Scott Steiner,is that you?

Good, well deserved. I'd have this class be something like Batista, Dudley Boyz, Christian, Torrie Wilson.

whether there is a brick & mortar representation of the HOF or not, is not the point. It's a WM weekend event, a cash cow for WWE that costs them some arena overheads and half a dozen rings. That's a good deal.
What's more important is when guys like Ricky Steamboat, DDP, Ted DiBiase, Stan Hansen, Freebirds, etc. get a chance to go up on that stage and for the 15-30 mins they have, reflect on theirs lives they sacrificed emotionally and physically, the business they love, and be admired for the performances they contributed to something we all love. That's what matters most to those guys. As actors, we owe them their final curtain call. What's so fake about that?
I love this event and I don't need a stupid hall to visit to see memorabilia. What I NEED is to hear these guys get their moment in time to say what they feel in their own words and an opportunity to thank them for entertaining me all my life. I can't begin to tell you the amount of times I've teared up listening to these speeches.
