When you are inducted into the Hall of Fame, you know that you've...Made a Difference.

I hope the Rock inducts him and he says, "He did it for me."

Here's a general question. Which "bloodline" has the most inductees in the WWE HOF?

Rikishi as a HoF'er is a joke. Let's just be honest about this.

Rikishi is fine to fill-out the rest of the Hall of Fame. He had a pretty good tag team with his cousin Samu (occasionally joined by brother Tonga Kid/Samoan Savage) in AWA, NWA/WCW, and in WWE. His run as Rikishi was memorable and successful. He was a popular act. This is the WWE Hall of Fame. He's just as worthy as a lot of inductees and more worthy than some. He never got a main event championship push like cousin Yokozuna, but he had more successful years in the business overall.

Here's a general question. Which "bloodline" has the most inductees in the WWE HOF? I think it's the Von Erichs, since they technically inducted six of them in one go, even if only four of them (Fritz, Kerry, Kevin and David) had notable careers. But yeah, regarding Rikishi going in... Really out of the blue, but I can't say I couldn't see him going in eventually within like the next decade of classes.

Rikishi as a HoF'er is a joke. Let's just be honest about this. How? He had a pretty decent run. He was with the company for a long time. I don't see how he's not qualified for the Hall of Fame. He a great, long mid-card career in WWE. If there is a mid-card section of the HOF he is more than worthy of the honor.

Randy Savage Arnold Schwarzenegger Rikishi Ed "The Crippler" Stevens (Heavily Expected)
besides macho man, this class doesn't seem to be looking to have the same caliber as the previous two. They need some much needed non-posthumous star power, to fill out the rest of the slots. Nash? DDP? Dudleys? Sid? Steiners?

Longevity? yes. But how long can you say he was popular? Koko was always over. I forgot Rikishi was even employed during the end of his run (04-05.) So are Scotty and Grandmaster Sexay going to be inducted in the future?
