Can we stop acting like billy Gunn isn’t Hall if fame worthy? Dude was solid in the ring and part of one of the greatest tag teams and factions of all time. He wasn’t just some dude

I don't get the big deal about people going in twice. It's no different than someone like Eric Clapton or Paul McCartney getting honored for their solo work and for the different bands they were in. I know WWE hyped Ric Flair as a "two time Hall of Famer" but that's just typical pro wrestling ballyhoo. Isnt it within Ric Flair's character to absolutely have that happen too? So amazing he's in the HOF TWICE.

Presumably, it wouldn't be an issue, but I guess WWE could always make the token gesture of dropping any pretense they'd block Cody from using Rhodes. That shit is dumb and petty as it is, how can you block someone from using their FAMILY Last Name?? No one’s stopping him from being Cody Runnels

Apparently an advertisement ran last night in the local New York market saying that D-Generation X will be inducted. The group induction will include Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, X-Pac, and Chyna. link to the video advertising their inductionWe live in a world where Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, and X-Pac are gonna be WWE Hall of Famers, good lord. Also now Chyna will be inducted Twice... I wonder if some of the motivation here isn't to give Chyna the induction without having to explicitly cast a spotlight solely on her. Put her in as a hall of famer as part of DX, honour her briefly, and move on. Removes the need for a solo induction and everything unsightly that might come with that. Which may be a more respectful and graceful move than some will give it credit for in terms of finding a way to remember her.

Really don't see the problem with DX memebers going in, especially as a group. All were super overin the attitude era, and honestly? I'd say they are bit more "qualified" than Jim Neidhart

I'm sure it means a lot to the performers but as a fan this all feels absolutely meaningless. Everybody is going in there sooner or later. Well, except for that one guy.

This kinda falls under the Hart Foundation/inducting tag teams and stables thing they seem to be doing. You can induct the people you want without highlighting the low moments of certain individuals either personally or professionally (Chyna, Neidhart, X-Pac and Billy Gunn to a lesser extent with their crappy 2000s stuff). That’s why it does suck we can’t get the 1997 Hart Foundation inducted for Bulldog, Owen and Pillman, but I know Martha’s never gonna let that one happen. For clearly valid reasons of course, but still.

Well, I was just watching an X-Pac video when I got the alert from the app.
Meh. Michael's is already in. Chyna gets in in a roundabout way. The only way Pac was ever getting in, probably. All five Kliq members will have rings now, that's... Something.
