Seeing how out of shape Ax and Smash are these days, what they should ask for is $20 each for lunch money on the day of their HOF induction.

100k for the pair isn’t unreasonable. Bruno demanded, I believe, 250k and then found out after the fact that he could’ve asked for waaaay more and they would’ve gladly paid. Not the I think Demolition and Bruno are on the same level of importance, but they probably hold the same name value with your average WWE fan these days

Workers gonna work.
Sounds like these guys don't really care one way or the other about Vince's HOF, but for 100K they might pretend to care.
And heck, Ax and the Smasher might be underselling themselves. Vince is rolling in that sweet Saudi money, and will be rolling in that sweet FOX and NBC TV money. He can afford it.

Eh, I can do what they did for the reasonable price of $50,000.

This is genuinely one of the carniest things I have ever seen. This isn't f***ing Jennifer Lopez demanding the highest level shit in her touring rider. This is saying 'I will be willing to accept this huge amount of prestige, love and recognition if you pay me six figures.'
Most people would do almost anything for six figures. It's an impossibly ridiculous thing to say.

Wasn't Smash's kid in developmental years ago? I can't remember if it was FCW era or early NXT though. I never saw any of his work. How was he? Dakota Darsow showed up in TNA awhile back. While I know I watched his matches I don't remember a thing about them, and the people that claim they do apparently didn't have high praise.

Honestly, if you're uninitiated, it sounds sweet, but in reality, it's ridiculous. "They get 6K, so I want 100K... Which I'll donate to charity, of course."
These two are guaranteed posthumous inductees.

What it would actually take: A plane ticket and a coupon for a free McRib. This is also what it would take for me to accept a hall of fame induction. Choose wisely WWE.

It sounds like Demolition is trying to make demands when they have no leverage. It's not going to work guys.

Demolition is probably my favorite tag team of all time but that's ridiculous and super egotistical especially with him saying how much less other guys make getting into the hall of fame. 100,000? Get over yourself Barry.

Not the I think Demolition and Bruno are on the same level of importance, but they probably hold the same name value with your average WWE fan these days The key difference is that without Bruno, the WWWF would probably have collapsed in the 1960s. There wouldn't be a WWE today without Bruno Sammartino. He deserved every bit of that money and more. Demolition had a great three-year run and I respect those guys' careers, but they weren't the difference-makers that Bruno was. There's no chance in hell (pun intended) that they're getting $100k, and I doubt that they seriously expect to - especially after the tenuous relationship that Ax/Masked Superstar has had with Vince for over 25 years.

I honestly figured Ax would be the one to say "$100k," given his history with Vince. Instead it's Smash, while Ax is like "Meh, whatever."

Call their bluff donate directly to the charity Vince: Tell ya what, I'll write this check directly to the charity. What's the name of it? Ax: Uh.... Smash: The Bill Edie and Barry Darsow fund... Vince: ........ Ax, Smash: So.... Vince: *hangs up phone*

They are part of a lawsuit against WWE. It's not just about Demolition accepting. It's also about WWE offering.

As long as they're a plaintiff in that lawsuit, they're not getting a damn thing. There'll be no offers forthcoming. The British Bulldogs would get in before these two at this rate, and that'd be the case even if Billington was healthy and in full possession (as full as to be expected) of his faculties. If both teams are going to be posthumous inductions as some have suggested, the Bulldogs would be inducted first. Eadie and Darsow are a reminder of when Vince had to copy a gimmick from someone else. With the Road Warriors already in, Demolition, though arguably a more successful team in pure WWF terms, have become largely surplus to requirements.

I'm saying Demolition can't accept something that's not offered to them.
