She was in the background too much, imo. I was a fan and thought she had things to offer but there weren't any really big time angles that she was involved with. She was one of the Horsemen's valets, she was with Benoit on-screen when he was a mid-carder, and she didn't wrestle much, if at all. I quite liked her with the Sandman, but that was before ECW hit its stride.

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. We did, and even though I enjoyed her work managing the Sandman in ECW, I say no.

No.
Even disregarding the tragedy of her end and the Benoit connection, Nancy isn't HOF-worthy.
Her Florida years were spent comprised of looking really good in a bikini, but not doing much else. Her first run in WCW was pretty much a failure after the brief Steiner romance/turn angle. Her time with Doom nearly killed that team and they didn't actually get rolling until they dumped her, took off the masks and hooked up with Teddy Long. Her time with the Horsemen was diluted by her being one of 3-4 women hanging with them at any given time. Beyond that, she had a brief memorable stint with Sandman in ECW, and then you get into the Benoit years. There's just nothing there.

All I really remember is her shoes being deadly.

No
I liked her character, but she really did nothing of note.
And even if she did, she can't be in the Hall of Fame because it would mean acknowledging Benoit.

Yea, she din't really have a spectacular run in the business. Between being with Sullivan in florida being viewed on a regional scale, to being Rick stainer's girlfriend/ manager of doom, to managing Sandman in ECW to being with the horsemen in WCW, she was just there. I'd think that Missy Hyatt would get in before she would.

She was certainly good at her job, I liked her as Sandman and 2 Cold Scorpio's manager. However, being good doesn't make you HOF worthy in my eyes. The HOF should be for people that we consider legends, or probably will consider legends one day. RIP, but she isn't in that class in the grand scheme of things.

Still No.

I suppose this was inevitable.
She was not really much different from any other of the valets who worked more regionally; she had somewhat better mic skills, but was meh compared to other managers. Looks-wise, she was definitely well-kept but not spectacularly attractive on her own. She was always going to take a back seat to Elizabeth, who was classically beautiful and had some announcing experience. She did not necessarily enhance the in-ring talent. More memorable, perhaps, then Dark Journey or Baby Doll, but she was no Elizabeth and, I would respectfully submit, she wasn't on par with even Debra in that trio.

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? Debra is more qualified.

Liz was prettier, but Woman was hotter.
