Just read it on pwinsider.com. It's about time the greatest IC champion of all time gets inducted!

lol his acceptance speech should be interesting, if it's true, and I hope it is. HTM got me into indy wrestling 16 years ago this month!

History hasn’t been kind to Honky’s reign and wrestling ability but well deserved induction. Plain and simple fans paid their money in droves to see Honky get beat up and for someone to take his title. Wrestlers have talked about how with Honky on top the House shows weren’t A and B they were 1A with Hogan and 1B with Honky Tonk Man. Honky famously talks about how he wanted to feud with Hogan and Vince talked about why you would do that with the money?

Played a great heel back in the day the character deserves a spot even if HTM himself is a bit of a turd.

Good to have that 45 minute sh't break since the HoF always is 9 hours anyway.

He does deserve it, he had such an epic run in the 80's but the guy is just such a piece of crapI can't get excited about this.

Honky's already in my personal Hall of Fame for hilarious chance encounters.
I happened across this guy in passing once, and in my youthful naivete, asked for a photo. He was agreeable to the idea, but immediately demanded payment - somewhere in the market of $20 - $30. Somewhat taken aback, given that we weren't in the vicinity of a prearranged meet and greet, I uttered "Oh, really? Even for a quick one, huh?"
"Can't have you marks makin' a buck off my name, right?," he replied.
This brought me back down to reality. With my faculties finally back about me, I had to ask:
"Who do you think is gonna buy a picture of me and you together?"
"You'd be surprised, kid." he responded, before turning to leave.
Ten years later, I'm still curious what the secondhand market for such a picture would have been in the recesses of his mind.

I would’ve probably traded you a Pete Dunne figure for that pic of you and Honky, but only if you autographed to me personally. #yourlosskid |

Ten years later, I'm still curious what the secondhand market for such a picture would have been in the recesses of his mind. This kinda reminded me of when I met Cooper Andrews from Walking Dead. We took a pic together and his helper was like “Ok. Let’s just make sure it came out good.” Then Cooper started laughing and said “Well if it didn’t, I’m pretty sure that guy way over there just took a picture of us. Not sure what he’s gonna do with that. Maybe photoshop his head on your body or something.” As for Honky Tonk Man, for some reason I always assumed he was already in. I’ve met him too and he is definitely all business. I met him at a comic con once and he was pretty short with me, but somewhat rude to the guy in front of me. The guy asked him how much it was. I think it was $20 for either an autograph or picture or $30 for a combo. He rushed the guy to decide and pay him. Then he was signing and asked the guy what his name was. The guy told him and started to spell it for him. Honky cut him off and was like “Yeah. Yeah. I got it man.” Pretty sure the guy ended up going back to ask for a new one because Honky wrote the wrong name on it. |

I wonder if he still looks like a fatter Elvis or if he finally stopped living the gimmick.

He was never one of my favorites, but the dude played his part to a tee, and certainly deserves the induction.

When you think of that era from 1987 - 1990, he is such a vital part of that!
The year and a half IC Title reign
The feuds with Roberts, Steamboat, Savage, Beefcake and Warrior
The Rhythm and Blues tag team
The theme songs in which he sang on
He was such a character in that era, that this is great! He totally deserves to be in the WWE Hall of Fame!
