In Meltzer's last feedback column, Observer website contributer Ben Miller said that anyone who doesn't vote for HHH to be inducted into the Observer Hall of Fame is being petty. He said the same thing (calling the voters petty) last year after HHH missed induction by one or two votes.
So what does everyone else think?
I personally don't want to see him inducted. It's akin to inducting Eric Bischoff circa '98. He may have gotten a lot of support if he had been on the ballot back then. But when he was up for consideration in the last few years he got only a small percent of the vote because most saw that if he deserved credit for being behind WCW's rise, he deserved equal blame for the fall.
HHH may have drawn money, but what if he's ultimately responsible for the company's downfall. I mean look at how wonderful creative is under his leadership when it's by proxy. Imagine what it'll be when Vince is gone and he and Steph are really steering the ship.

i think he should be inducted.
hhh has a passion for wrestling not seen since ric flair, look what he went through in 1996 jobbing to the warriror in a 2 minute match, feuding with fatu, dumpster man, and the godwins. and he put up with that and honed him game got some mic time showed his charmisma, showed hes a heel of a heel.
i gotta agree with meltzer (shudders) it is petty not voting for hhh i bet u cant name 5 better then him that arent already in the hof

I think he should be in, even though he is not what he was before the injury, he is still darn good. Honestly, I dont like active wrestlers or any type of athlete to be put into a HOF.

Triple H deserves to be in the Hall of Fame as much as anyone else who is named Bruno, Hogan, Bret or Austin. Triple H, inside the square-circle is one of the best perfomers the WWWF/E has ever witnessed. Anyone voting shouldn't let backstage get in the way, and base it solely on on-camera performance. Because if it was just based on in-ring work, Hogan wouldn't be in, and we all know that.

Maybe I don't understand...but yes, Cripple H does deserve to be in the Hall of Fame...SOMEDAY. If Meltzer is wanting him in there next year, or the year after he's f'ing insane!
Let Crips retire eventually...let him age...let the fans forget his bullcrap...then put him in the hall. If we're wanting him in now, it's stupid.

If people say Kane is a potential HOF inductee with a straight face (and some do) then yes, HHH should be in there.

He was almost inducted last year? Why? He main evented WM, which isn't what an HOF inductee should do the year they're nominated. Let him retire or stop wrestling, not hogging Raw, then give him a spot. It makes no sense to now

Absolutely, I agree anyone not voting for him would just be sour grapes. Just been too dominate for too long.

Yes, but not yet... he is great in the ring, and on the mic, IMHO - I think that, coupled with his success (okay, he has politiked for that, but who hasn't), should get him in

He'll be inducted eventually, as will Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, Steve Austin and the Rock. But I think we're probably looking at Hall Of Fame 2015 rather than HOF 2006.
On the HOF topic: It'd be quite cool to have Women's and Tag Team wings of the HOF (although I could only think of Moolah, Alundra, Elizabeth, Sherri and perhaps Trish who'd realistically get in to the Women's one).

Don't kid yourself. We may all dislike him, but he deserves to be in there.
