I am not a huge Big Show fan, but its really hard to argue against him being in the WWE HOF. Big Show has been involved in a ton of wrestle crap, but the resume speaks for itself:

 

2 Time WCW World Heavyweight Champion

3 Time WCW World Tag Team Champion
4 Time WWF/E Champion
3 Time WWF/E Hardcore Champion

8 Time Time Tag Team Champion
5 Time Slammy Award Winner

1 TimeUnited States Champion
1 Time Intercontinental Champion

1 Time ECW World Champion

 

I wouldn't be upset if/when he is inducted.

He was also involved in one of the most high-profile matches in WrestleMania history, and his appearance on SNL the night The Rock was on was a highlight of that show. Those things count as much if not more in WWE's eyes.

I'm of the opinion that when Undertaker gets in, there should be a whole night for it. This wouldn't be too unprecedented as Andre was the only official inductee in 1993, even though there wasn't a ceremony for it.

 

They could do Undertaker related people. From the streak alone: Sid. Bundy. Albert (for NXT as much as anything). Henry. Maybe Bruce Prichard too as Brother Love. And Michelle McCool to boot.

As long as they actually let him speak.

 

I don't want WWE to just have him be his dead man persona like they did with Paul Bearer HOF. I guess WWE forgot about ABA era.

Maybe. I could almost see them doing it as something separate from WrestleMania weekend (while still having a ceremony at it at that year).

 

I increasingly think they should do something like that around a big UK show. They could probably charge a million bucks for the tickets and the UK fans would gobble that up.

Bulldogs (or at least DBS), Johnny Saint, Lord Alfred Hayes, Regal, (I was going to say Haystacks Calhoun but he's already in). Maybe Big Daddy? Finlay?

Really not fond of Koko being positioned as the go-to name for "anyone can get in" argument.

 

Agreed.

 

Who sets the bar the lowest? Can't speak on James Dudley because I don't know enough about him outside the established narratives.

 

Jacqueline? I can't recall a single time WWF Jacqueline was over outside of the Sable feud.

I would love to live in a United Kingdom where Johnny Saint gets the massive adulation he deserves but man, that's a crazy pick. Wrestling fans of the last 15-20 years are more likely to know Johnny Storm than Johnny Saint. Big Daddy would absolutely be the WoS pick on pop culture crossover alone but even then, that's reaching for a UK show. It'd be Regal, Davey, Finlay, Hayes, Adrian Street and I don't know, Lord Littlebrook as your inductees.

Does Haystacks Calhoun have some UK ties I'm not aware of or were you thinking of Giant Haystacks/Loch Ness?

That's a great idea. One for Canada wouldn't be too bad either.

I hired the one wrong legged guy.

 

As for what Stiva said? I'm not even sure how to deal with it. Trips is MUCH more inclined to put in Johnny Saint who he had Regal talk him into being a guest trainer at the Performance Center than anyone who's wrestled in the UK in the last 20 years. It doesn't matter what UK wrestling fans of the last twenty years would know.
