Is Nancy Benoit aka Woman WWE Hall of Fame material?

[Deleted]

Yes, I realize bringing her up brings up Mr. Benoit, but doesn't anyone else think it's pretty unfair she's also forgotten from pro wrestling history for the most part?

She was an influential manager in WCW and she did play a role with the company at the time.

Do you think she will go in one day and is she WWE Hall of Fame material?

Thread over.

Nothing related to the deaths of Chris and Nancy Benoit will ever be brought up in new WWE material ever again.

I know somebody will post the infamous Koko B Ware defense, but I'm saying this as somebody who watched way too much wrestling in the 90's "she was fairly forgettable". Unfortunately her death is by far the most notable thing she was involved with, so yeah it's a can of worms that will likely remain closed.

[Cyno]

I don't think she's HOF material. And I don't think anyone wants to relive the night she and her son were murdered.

She was a pretty good manager, but not HOF material. Unfortunately, she is forever attached to Benoit.

No but it would be some good press at least.

[Hickster]

No. Take Benoit out of it, and it's still a no. There are other managers that belong in front of her. Gary Hart is the best that I can come up with.

[Milkman Norm]

I have this can of worms that I'd rather not open...

[mizerable]

There's far more memorable female managers that I would put in before even digging deep to induct her:

Missy Hyatt
Babydoll
Elizabeth
Marlena
Luna Vachon

Coincidentally, Nancy gave Luna her name. Sullivan wanted to call her Moaning Mona, but even Ms. Vachon thought that was silly. "I don't moan, I scream!"
So Nancy thought of the name "Luna"...as in "Lunatic". Vachon loved that, and they were off and running.

If there was criteria, no.

As is, sure.

[Crappler El 0 M]

Depends on your criteria. If you have a high threshold (WWE doesn't), then I'd say no. I was a fan, though. If she were still alive or had died of natural causes, WWE STILL would not have inducted her.

[A Platypus Rave]

I am reasonably certain we've had this discussion before.... with No being the majority opinion.

If there was a criteria for the Hall of Fame, no I don't think she should get in.

But as it's literally just whomever WWE wants? I wouldn't specifically be against it. Though I still don't see it happening.

[TGM]

Everybody is HoF worthy depending on whatever WWE deems fit.

But the question of will they ever? Probably not.

[kidglov3s]

Much better argument for her ex spouse Kevin Sullivan.

And he's not that likely to get in because all of his stuff was non-WWE, his best run was in the 70's before WWE cannon says wrestling was popular (notice how WWE will admit that stuff from the 50's was popular and NWA stuff from the post VKM era was but anything from the 60's-70's other than their own stuff is pretty much ignored?) and it's not like he's gonna draw in fans to attend.

The Playboy not in the HOF?

The current manager list should be, Gary Hart, Liz, Jim Cornette. Paul E as well.

[BigWill]

Even without considering Chris Benoit, no.

[RedSmile]

I was, and still am, a fan of Woman, but she doesn't have much of a legacy to speak of, outside of being Benoit's wife. Which is pretty sad, because in WCW they were a pretty good on screen couple.
