Just Simply Perfect.
It's about time.....Noone else oculd've pulled out the Perfect gimmick the way he did.

WOW, my marking out for Mr. Perfect may have ruined my relationship with my girlfriend. I was on the phone with my girlfriend and she was asking something like if I lied to her or not about something rather serious, then Perfect came on the screen and I screamed yes in excitement of his induction. Needless to say she took it the wrong way and hung up on me, and is not answering my calls anymore. PERFECT!!!!! Also, for the poster doubting the induction of Perfect, he was a phenomenal in-ring performer, held major titles in the AWA, WWF and WCW, had the greatest theme music ever, the best nickname ever and the best set of introductory vignettes ever. He was totally due for the Hall. PS-He invented the gum spit/slap move, one of mankind's greatest achievements ever.

Cool! This is awesome! Who do you think will induct him though? The only three I can think of are his Father, Bobby "the brian" or Bret Hart? I'd like to see his dad do it

I would be happy if his Dad, The Brain and Flair did it together.

There's a reason my avatar hasn't changed in my 3 years on this board (which includes the old board) and that's because I always felt Hennig deserved more recognition than he usually gets.
I'm so happy to see he'll be going in the Hall of Fame. I just wish he was still alive to give the perfect acceptance speech.

I marked out like crazy for this annoucement. The video that followed almost had me in tears. It was very well done. I wonder if Larry the Axe or the Brain will be there for the induction?

Yes! Mr. Perfect was as good as they come. And if anyone thinks he wasn't that big in his heyday, let me just remind that he did main event with Hogan, and even defeated him (though it was by DQ so he didn't win the title).

I marked big for this. Definitely deserving. Big surprise too.
Seeing the video made me sad that his in-ring career didn't live up to what it could have. Great IC reigns, a feud with Hogan, and a few later feuds with HBK and Flair. But he really should have been WWE champ at some point and had the charisma and skills to do it. I wish he would have beat Hogan at Mania 6 instead of the Warrior. Things would have been different. Yes, it's sad that his life was tarnished with drugs, the plane ride from hell, and injuries, and West Texas Rednecks....
but needless to say, Perfect should be in there and Larry The Ax should induct him.

Sympathy ploy! Mr. Perfect never won a World Championship and he was a druggie, I'm sorry to say. What does being a druggie have to do with it? 90% of the WWF, NWA, AWA, WCCW and I'd guess a good amount of wrestler today are druggies.

I'd kinda like to see either Flair or Heenan induct him. You know, cause of the money, the brains, and the nucleus, and all.

Oh he didn't win the title...he DESTROYED the title!!! One of the greatest underappreciated heel moments of all time. History fact- That smashed up World title later became the Hardcore title belt. Which meant they'd been holding onto a busted up title belt for almost ten years.

Holy crap, I had forgotten all about that! I hope the DVD collection isn't just a rumor. I don't wanna be able to forget anything.
