fakeplastictrees Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 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 Champion4 Time WWF/E Champion3 Time WWF/E Hardcore Champion 8 Time Time Tag Team Champion5 Time Slammy Award Winner 1 TimeUnited States Champion1 Time Intercontinental Champion 1 Time ECW World Champion I wouldn't be upset if/when he is inducted.
Matt D Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 A better question is who doesnt deserve to get in? Whats the limit? John Morrison? Koslov? The Beverly Brothers?
El-P Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 Forget it. The limo driver got in. Koko got in. I guess Damian DeMento and Duke Droese are a stretch.

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.
flyonthewall2983 Posted March 8, 2018 Author Report Posted March 8, 2018 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.

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.
flyonthewall2983 Posted March 8, 2018 Author Report Posted March 8, 2018 Maybe. I could almost see them doing it as something separate from WrestleMania weekend (while still having a ceremony at it at that year).

This wouldn't be too unprecedented as Andre was the only official inductee in 1993, even though there wasn't a ceremony for it. 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.
Johnny Sorrow Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 Whats Batistas beef with OVW? He didn't get along with Cornette,I believe.
sek69 Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 That, and he felt they didn't train him properly for the main roster because all they had him do was squash matches as Leviathan. When he had to do more evenly booked matches he really didn't have any idea what to do at first.
Matt D Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 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?
KawadaSmile Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 Really not fond of Koko being positioned as the go-to name for "anyone can get in" argument.
The Chief Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 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.
BigBadMick Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 Really not fond of Koko being positioned as the go-to name for "anyone can get in" argument. I remember Koko seemed like the least deserving entrant ever in 2009. Perhaps that has followed him even when less deserving inductees have entered since then.
Johnny Sorrow Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 Koko was awesome. He was the featured guy on the Piledriver album, and since the WWE HOF now encompasses whole careers, his Memphis run is amazing and should count.
Brandon-E Posted March 8, 2018 Report Posted March 8, 2018 I have a feeling that JBL will enter the Hall of Fame next year.
Stiva Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 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? 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?

One for Canada wouldn't be too bad either.

Does Haystacks Calhoun have some UK ties I'm not aware of or were you thinking of Giant Haystacks/Loch Ness? 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.
Johnny Sorrow Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 I desperately want them to put Big Daddy in the WWE HOF. Itd be a wonderful time to be in these corners of the internet I visit.
iamthedoctor Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 Really not fond of Koko being positioned as the go-to name for "anyone can get in" argument. Koko deserves to be in I mean he was wrestling in WWE what 86? and I remember him wrestling Jarrett in 94 on Raw.
Blehschmidt Posted March 9, 2018 Report Posted March 9, 2018 If nothing else, I'm sure Quackenbush would let them use the footage of Saint working with Daniel Bryan and Cesaro to help sell the thing to the younger crowd.
