Bam bam bigelow and Vader for hof

Couple months earlier for these threads ain’t it? I do agree though,

It’s crazy to think that jushin liger went in before both of them, and he only had one match with wwe.

The HOF is a gimmick. For example. somebody like Koko B Ware should not be in the Hall of Fame before somebody like The Rock. They build a Hall of Fame class like it’s a PPV card. They have a Headliner, an almost headliner, a woman, a minority, a dead wrestler and a celebrity.

They don’t base the class on the most deserving, they base it on who fits each slot and make sure they save some people for the next one.

Bam Bam once saved kids from a burning building. If that isn't HOF Worthy. then I don't know what is.

I understand where you’re coming from, politics are everywhere, I totally see that. The only place I differ with my opinion is that I think FOR THE MOST PART, not 100%, but for the most part, the NFL & MLB usually put in guys worthy of a HOF induction. With the exception of Pete Rose, most everybody that SHOULD be in there, IS.

The WWE on the other hand is at the point where they just throw anybody fans might remember into the HOF. I do not think Koko B Ware had a HOF career. Did he even hold a single title? I know it’s a work but a title is still an indicator of drawing power, or faith from the company. Celebrities aside, guys like Rikishi, Bushwackers, The Godfather…these guys all played their part don’t get me wrong. But Hall of Farmers are supposed to be around the same level and Rikishi is not on the level of Stone Cold, Bret Hart etc. not even close.

So WWE has its issues in my opinion. I love the WWE HOF, but I legit look at it like one last show for the guys I loved to watch. Every year they gotta put in somebody and it seems like they just pick anybody fans might remember, not really people that had a legitimate Hall of Fame career. I mean, if the Great Khali is a Hall of Famer, who isn’t?

Ron is a major sour point for me. I know family's are proud to go to the inductions but I feel like they should refuse. A guy like Ron waited so long and it was something that would mean a lot to him and of course they induct him after his passing. I guess board members felt bad but it's too little too late. And Ken Stabler was another one inducted after death. Buck O'Neil who was a major ambassador for MLB and the Negro Leauge's is another sad one. He was a board members of the baseball hall yet not included with the dozen or more Negro Leaguers inducted in 2006. He of course stayed positive but you could tell it hurt him. I think he even missed it by like one vote.

Also including guys like Koko in the hall are reasons I do feel the hall is more legit than baseball or football. Not every guy is going to be main event level, not every buy is going to hit 500 home runs or have a large amount of touchdowns or a super bowl or wrestlemania moment. You have to look at the totality of a wrestlers career.

Vince only wants to put like one deceased person in a year since to him the WWE HOF is a show and it's all about making that money when fans were there. The past two HOF shows of course had to be different cause of the pandemic.

If Vader or Bigelow don't go in come the normal ceremony, their names will be a part of that other thing they do now at the HOF. Putting in old deceased wrestlers into a separate wing I suppose it would be. Either way, I am sure their names will be in the WWE HOF one way or another.

There’s a fine line though between me saying I don’t think Koko is a hall of famer and I don’t think he shouldn’t be recognized in some capacity for his accomplishments.

Hall of Famer to me DOES mean hitting 500 home runs and winning Super Bowls, those are indicators of greatness. That doesn’t mean people aren’t still accomplished and good at what they do, they just aren’t the best of the best. The WWE hall of fame is a tv show, like, the Great Khali just hasn’t done anything to be worthy of HOF status. Did he contribute? Sure…everybody does. Who SHOULDN’T be in the WWE Hall of Fame though? Like, is somebody like Marty Jannetty not a hall of Famer? HOF recognition is recognizing the greatest amongst the great, it shouldn’t just be in recognition of any old accomplishment, otherwise everybody should be in it.

The Bushwackers aren’t hall of famere, the Road Warriors are, the Dudley Boys are. That doesn’t mean the Bushwackers didn’t make money and entertain people, they just didn’t do it on the level of a team like the Road Warriors…or with the longevity or the success. I’ll say this though, the WWE HOF is much more entertaining because it’s basically a history of pro wrestling, it’s a true stroll down memory lane. Credibility wise though, I feel like when it’s all said and done, everybody that’s ever wrestled will eventually be inducted in this thing.

Well, all of them are politically charged, I never debated that.
