If it was not based on popularity or whatever whim Vince hits on a given day, who among the current folks would get in?
My votes would be for:
HBK
Undertaker
JBL
Kane
HHH

Those that you named will get in no matter if it's "legit" or not.
Unless they kill somebody.
Or jump to TNA.

Probably about 80% of those who are inducted wouldn't be there. And I'd add in a lot of the old school guys like Pat O'Connor, Lou Thesz and Dick the Bruiser.

You have a point tyfo.
I have an opinionated question on someone else. What about Finlay and William Regal? Would you induct them?

There is no way it could be "legit" unless wrestling were legit.
Why would it NOT be based on popularity? That seems like it should be the main criteria for a fake sport hof. Certainly more important than championships/win-loss records.

What do you mean by legit? Does it have to have a set criteria like the Baseball Hall of Fame which is just equally as(or more) fixed? I don't have a problem with whoever is in the WWE Hall of Fame(though Pete Rose, William Perry, Bob Orton, James Dudley, and Johnny Rodz are questionable).

It would never be 100% legit as WWE isn't 100 % legit,
But I believe the majority of those in it now deserve to be there for whichever reasons.
Out of today, the obvious picks are HBK, Triple H, Undertaker, Jericho,
With guys like Kane, Edge, & Hardys etc are more than probable,
Also, Guys like Santino, Kennedy, MVP, & Priceless have bright futures ahead of them and, if they continue as they currently are, should get to the level of HOF in maybe 10-15 years time.
Wrestlers like Finlay, JBL, Regal, & some others will probably be the amongst the 'quiet' inductions about 10 years after they retire in a few years. Rightfully so, of course, but you get a few wrestlers a year who just seem to make up the mix.

It will never be even a legit professional wrestling fake kind of hall of fame until Bruno Sammartino is inducted. It's a joke that they haven't done it yet. I know he probably has said no, but just induct him whether he shows up or not, he was that important to the old WWWF.

If it was "legit" Randy Savage would've been in LONG ago. Period.

I know he probably has said no, but just induct him whether he shows up or not, he was that important to the old WWWF. Because they don't want Bruno to sue them for using his likeness without permission? He was asked several times and always turns it down. |

When I said legit, I meant that the guys worked their ***** off for the company, ala HBK and the Undertaker, who could have taken the big $$$$ from WCW to jump back in the 90s, but stayed loyal to the company.

Gorilla Monsoon and Andre the Giant are two names who I think of who definitely, definitely would be there under any circumstance.
