Guest NYR10 Report post Posted March 6, 2007 I understand honoring the older wrestlers... But for this hall of fame thing to work, you have to induct people that the current fans actually give a shit about Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But for this hall of fame thing to work, you have to induct people that the current fans actually give a shit about That's why you got JR/King, Rhodes and Perfect already. Also, for a HOF to work...you'd have to induct...the older class. Which is generally the purpose of a HOF in any sport. It adds that little shred of credibility to it when you add people like Bockwinkel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2007 Does he not have Edge's back? Sounded like he was trying to convince himself with that second run though of the line. Either that or he was making sure he didn't screw up the delivery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lets be honest, to most marks, Dusty Rhodes means nothing. So, explain why his dvd sold well. Or why he still gets a big pop when he appears. Dusty is a legend and in a good deal of the country, Rhodes was similar to Steve Austin. A guy who you apparently worship. You'd probably want to throw current wrestlers and the rejects of the attitude era into the HOF just so you can mark out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2007 Also, in theory the WWE HOF should have a shelf life for as long as the WWE exists. They'll get to people like Austin, 'Taker, HHH and Foley in due time. Let's get the stars of the 70's, 80's and early 90's in first and establish a fucking legacy to the thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
