I enjoyed her for the Queen act, and I guess she is local and not a distraction from 'Taker or Vader, but Sharmell before Miss Elizabeth? Come on. I think Elizabeth's family don't want it. Don't quote me on that. Same with Sable...as she doesn't want to be seen on camera apparently.

Thought Stacy Kiebler might have... but no, only other one I can think might get in Kimberly as a legacy wing or something. Still amazed that Stacy isn’t in yet. I don’t get why WWE hasn’t brought her in for any kind of nostalgia reasons. I'd say she got famous without asking them (being on DWTS). But then again, Dwayne and Cena...

Next time anyone says anything about Koko... ...was what I said when they got Torrie Wilson. And yes, can we get over the Koko Rule thing already? Yeah he was a midcarder/JTTS, but people still remembered him.

At least Torrie brought some eyes to the product over the years.

If they needed a female why not Bull Nakano? Yeah...if Sid is joining Taker and Vader, it would fit the all-hoss theme they seemed to be having. (we are still getting over the worries about traveling abroad, so it wouldn't work though...) I think the problem with women's inductions is a lot of the truly worthy ones are from time periods they want to forget now, for various reasons.

I think this might be the worst non celebrity HOF inductee yet, even worse than Koko and Torrie Wilson.

Though she was a major character in the end of WCW and in early 2000s WWE. Koko is an 80s character people still remember, never mind he was a JTTS. Still worthy. And...I might as well address a possible elephant in the room. Did they pick Sharmell so they can say that had a female POC in the class? I'm for stars from all types and all walks to life to get their due, but yeah, I wonder...

Hopefully not the only women inducted this year. Happy for her and Booker though.

Good for Sharmell but this is probably the weakest HOF induction so far. People complained about Torrie and the Bellas, but they were hugely popular with fans and had some success in mainstream media. Sharmell was a solid valet for Booker but that’s it. She only had a few matches (that were bad) and she wasn’t popular with fans. Thought Stacy Kiebler might have... but no, only other one I can think might get in Kimberly as a legacy wing or something. Still amazed that Stacy isn’t in yet. I don’t get why WWE hasn’t brought her in for any kind of nostalgia reasons. That’s likely a Stacy decision since she’s mostly out the limelight these days and is married to a multimillionaire. I was thinking this year she might have been in HOF as they’re releasing an action figure of her and she’s DLC for 2k22.

At least when Beth Phoenix went in she had enough credibility.

I like Sharmell but man if they were going that route surely Jazz is far far deserving due to her being a multi time womens champ,competing and winning at a wrestlemania and being a huge influence on womens wrestling for years? It's hard to even say what Sharmell has done that warrants being a hall of famer.

Plus quarantine restrictions are done in Japan now

weren't they mad at stacy because she pretty much left after the dancing with the stars run to try and make it in hollywood? i remember them promoting it while she was on it then she vanished once the season ended. but they are running low on the women's side for inductions unless they start inducting anyone who ever survived a year on the roster. Stacy inducted Torrie so I don't think there may be bad blood there

Her legendary match against Jenna Morasca should be enough for her to be worthy of her HOF induction. I actually think that's who should induct Sharmell. Um... I have Survivor All-Stars on DVD. She has a commentary track on the first four episodes. In short... no. No she shouldn't...

Well with this news. I’m gonna keep an eye on my phone now. With my 2.73 shares of stock I purchased on Robinhood, WWE just might call me for an induction.
Like seriously? Don’t want to get personal but this doesn’t make any sense.
