Kris is joined by Alan Counihan (Dr. Keith Presents) & Dylan Hales (Wrestling Culture) to discuss all of the Japanese based candidates on the 2015 Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame Ballot. We discuss who shouldn’t be in this section and where they should be placed, the historical significance of the modern candidates as well as their strengths and flaws. The age rule factor definitely comes up and the debates over certain candidates are really enlightening. If you are a fan of Japanese wrestling then this is a must listen for you!

Just got to the great point Alan made about wrestlers overvaluing their own experiences with wrestlers. I think that's why there's such a difference in opinion between workers and fans when it comes to how talented guys like Kane, Storm and Orton are. I wonder how many worker WO HOF voters are over or under rating guys based on their own personal experiences with the people up for vote. I'm sure if I was a wrestler, I would love mechanically smooth, safe guys who are "easy to work with" too, but that has nothing to do with how talented, successful or influential a wrestler was, which is the criteria for the Hall.

 

If you order dinner, no matter if the dinner turned out bad or good, no one cares if the chef that made it was a great person or a horrible person. When your goal is to sell a product, the customer's opinions actually mean MORE than the employee's opinions, not less.
