Because at one point (sadly), he was over.

B-b-but he mooned the audience a million times, how can we let the writers get away with that?

It was his only good gimmick, to me. So we should spare the man some mercy and not induct this.

It just worked for him. The gimmick had a certain charm to it, especially with that music.

Is it sad that Mr. Ass' theme was one of my favorites during that period? When I was younger, I was like, "Dammit, I know I should hate this guy, but he has such cool music."

So you were an ass man as well then huh? ;D Yeah my mates all loved that song as well even the ones who were not wrestling fans. They don;t make theme songs like that any more. Sadly.

Because Mr. Ass was awesome, that's why.
And we don't question Ass.

It's actually a bit of a weak argument to say just because he may have at one time been in a very hot tag team that he can;t be considered wrestlecrap.

because it was more a personality quirk than a full fledged gimmick that could be inducted.
Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong period but he was actually less ass obsessed than many other wrestlers. He only once engaged in a kiss my ass match, never had a catchphrase about it, like the Rock, the the Kiss my Ass club is Mr McMahon's not Mr. Ass' and he never cut the buttcheeks out of his pants like the Bootyman. He didn't engage in a pun-based offense. No butt bump like Goldust, no sitdown splash, no high knee.

Well, his epiphet was "Bad Ass" which is not a bad name, pardon the pun, for a wrestler. Shortening it to Mr. Ass, is much less of a stretch than anything Sean Combs has done with his epiphets.

There was one moment from his whole "Mr. Ass" run that I have said before was wrestlecrap worthy. He was paired with Torrie Wilson at he time, and sticking to the whole derriere fetish, their whole relationship seemed to revolve around them slapping each other on the tuckuss. Anyhow, he got into a feud with Jamie Noble, then still in his "psycho hillbilly" gimmick. The feud revolved around Jamie Noble wanting to "do the dirty" with Torrie, and lead up to one of those ridiculous matches where if Mr. Ass lost, Torrie had to spend the night with Noble. So the faithful night comes, and we get to see it on Smackdown. The cameras show Noble and Torrie in the hotel room, except Mr. Ass crashes the party. The cameras cut out...and when they come back we are treated to the eye meltingly hideous sight of Torrie, Mr. Ass, Jamie Noble, and Nidia having a four way. Well, all they really showed was the four of them under the covers, but you get the point. It looked like this was leading up to some sort of "girlfriend swapping" gimmick with Noble and Mr. Ass as a tag team, but thankfully that only lasted one match. Still have nightmares about it though.

He didn't really use his ass in the move, except landing on it.

"The One" moniker has Wrestlecrap written more on it than Bad Ass Billy Gunn

I believe it was actually his last major run in the WWE. He had gone back to using the Mr. Ass moniker in that time.
