Kane is revealed as the 2021 Hall of Fame Headliner

The bigger joke of a hall of fame to me is the Baseball and Football. Football inducts 4-8 inductees every years and most of the time it is closer to 8. It is normally comprised of one first ballot guy and a few that are pretty close to first ballot but it is normally filled in with guys who are elderly and have been waiting 30-40 years to get in. A few have died not long after and were too sick to really enjoy their ceremonies (Hank Stram, Jack Butler, Gene Hickerson come to mind) and not long after the passing of Ken Stabler and Ron Santo they each got inducted despite decades of being overlooked. To me, THAT is the joke-not the WWE Hall of Fame. And additionally, the football hall of fame is inducting TWENTY new members because it happens to be the 100th anniversary of the NFL. They're little inducting 20 people just because.

Yes, WWE Hall of Famers are chosen based on relationship with the company but many in the football and baseball hall of fames are chosen based on their lack of relationship with the voters. Jim Rice waited many years to get in and some believed it was because he had a poor relationship with the media. John Mackey was chosen on his last year of eligibility by the voters and waited so long because the voters did not like him being involved in the player's union. Now the voters, as well as players and fans deserve to be bitter about letting steroid users in but their process for many years has been just as big a joke if not moreso than the WWE AND these two hall of fames, baseball and football are supposed to be the superior hall of fames, right? They're supposed to be the real ones.

Who cares if WWE has a physical hall of fame? I went to the baseball hall of fame twice and football four times. Sure the stuff inside is historic and interesting but like most museums it's not all that interesting. It's the induction weekends that do big business and bring people from all over the country just like WWE's induction weekends and wrestlemania. I went to see the inductions and meet the players and I think most attendees of the weekend do the same thing.

For those criticizing any inductee into the hall of fame, you might want to do some research on the past 20 years of baseball and football inductions. And finally, don't you think the WWE Hall of Fame means a lot more to the inductees, many of whom are living than it does the relatives of a hall of famer who waited decades to get in, died and the next year they were inducted? Don't you think it means so much more to the WWE guys than it does to the elderly baseball or football hall of fame inductees who wait decades to get in, are inducted but have to be on stage in a wheelchair and die not long after?
