W2BTD Posted October 15, 2015 Report Posted October 15, 2015 Should Okerlunds shamelessly misleading shills for the WCW hotline in the 90s count against his candidacy? I would say yes. But he probably still goes in. I think they should count FOR him. That thing drew lots of money.
kjh Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 Should Okerlunds shamelessly misleading shills for the WCW hotline in the 90s count against his candidacy? I would say yes. But he probably still goes in. I think they should count FOR him. That thing drew lots of money. It's a double edged sword. Teasing that Ric Flair had died to draw all-time record hotline business is not something I would like to honour. (I still voted for Okerlund, because the positives outweigh the negatives).
pantherwagner Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 Okerlund is a funny one. I absolutely love the guy and think he should be in (I don't vote for him because I don't vote in the US region). But if you want to dissect him, the guy is a complete sleazebag with that Flair/Blackwell hotline deal or the "fun stories" when he loads up cocktails with tons of alcohol and presents them to young women.
WrestlingPower Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 MLW's Bauer & Pollack show broke down HOF ballots this week so since these are public, I'll post them to save people a listen. Court Bauer: Von Brauners Nakamura V3 Ramirez Misioneros Aguayo Jr. Lesnar Edge Sting Gary Hart Jon Pollock: Von Brauners Pepper Gomez CIMA Aguayo Jr. UGuerrero V3 Lesnar Edge Gary Hart Finkel Jerry Jarrett Alex Greenfield: Akiyama Big Daddy Mark Rocco Edge Gary Hart Bill Apter Greenfield's I found the most curious that Edge was the only modern one he found worthy and that he only used 4 picks. He did admit he's a first time voter who got his ballot as a reply to a year old email.
pantherwagner Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 The year old email stuff is quite common. This year he actually sent me the ballot by replying to a Kris Zellner email where I was a receiver.
shakla Posted October 16, 2015 Report Posted October 16, 2015 Should Okerlunds shamelessly misleading shills for the WCW hotline in the 90s count against his candidacy? I would say yes. But he probably still goes in. His involvement with Mean Gene's Burgers and Mean Gene's Pizza should give him enough goodwill to cancel that out. BTW, should I be suprised Madden didn't vote for him? Isn't Okerlund the only in-ring opponent he ever had?
