Providing that she can stay clean and out of trouble for a couple more years then I'm sure Chyna would be a shoe in for HOF.
That and I'm sure the WWE wouldn't be stupid to enough blacklist her for doing porn when they have allowed a convicted rapist to be inducted.

As regards to Chyna the issue isn't with HHH or Steph (apparently they have tried reaching out to her over the years) but Chyna not being able to keep herself clean or grudge free.

Steve Lombardi. Seriously the Brooklyn Brawler is THE legendary jobber. The dude's been a WWE road agent for years and years and years. He's had more direct impact on what WWE wrestling looks like than almost anyone I can think of. Of course he deserves to go in.

Konnan. Outside of how legendarily lame the Max Moon gimmick was-the guy is a multi time WCW champion, is one if the biggest stars in lucha history and remains very influential there, and had a major hand in introducing lucha style to North America-including being the one to recommend a young high flyer named Rey Mysterio Jr to North American promoters.

Can't see him doing it, not after he and a few others tried to sue WWE not too long ago. Konnan wasn't too pleased about the Del Rio situation.

Outside of how legendarily lame the Max Moon gimmick was I may be horrifically confused here, but wasn't Max Moon formerly Paul Diamond from AWA (who'd teamed with Tanaka under DDP as part of the Diamond Exchange?) EDIT: Okay, I've figured it out - Konnan was the original Comet Kid/Max Moon, but apparently left very shortly after debuting. Paul Diamond was given the gimmick (and was the one I remember from TV) before the gimmick was abandoned entirely. Got it.

It was originally meant for Konnan and he played it a couple times before quitting. Then it passed to Diamond.

Regarding Chyna, I think it would be better for all involved if she weren't inducted. It's clear that, for all Trips' and Steph's efforts to reach out to her, it would be natural to question their motives for doing so and for Chyna to decline the invitation regardless of how much water was under the bridge. She deserved better treatment than she got at the time that went down and, quite honestly, were I in the same boat I'd tell the Helmsleys to piss off. The whole enterprise is a farce and there's no shame in not being a WWE Hall of Famer.

f The Macho Man's induction is a touchy subject, seeing that he insisted to be inducted with his family like the Von Erich's, I would concede to having his brother, but Angelo doesn't deserve an induction. Did Savage really say that or was it his brother Lanny? It's pretty common knowledge that Macho Man wanted. His dad in. But I've never read anywhere that he said he wanted his brother in. Only that his brother said that that's what he wanted. Lanny Poffo comes off as royal prick to me so I don't know if I believe what he says about the HoF

Lanny Poffo comes off as royal prick to me so I don't know if I believe what he says about the HoF Well, the big question would be if WWE will claim the WCW Hall of Fame members are automatically also WWE Hall of Famers (which gets a lot of the bigger deceased performers into the Hall, plus handles Angelo being inducted). If that happened, it probably lessens the blow and turns it into a more blatant "Lanny's angling for a HOF induction himself for Macho Man to go in".

Worse than my "Droz - The stage isn't wheelchair accessible" one? If so post it or pm me with it. I have to hear this. Same. I felt bad for cracking up at the first joke, if this one is worse than that I might commit seppuku while crying from laughing. Did you let out the dogs beforehand? (I think I know what the private joke is about)

Hillbilly Jim not being in is VERY weird because really, everyone from Legends House should be in. Maybe it has to do with Haystacks Calhoun not being in yet? Clearly he was the most successful person to use the hillbilly gimmick by far. But since he's dead and WWE is slow to induct people posthumously, Jim has to wait for that door to be opened. He was a MOUUUUUNTAIN OF A MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN~!

I'd say my top ten (and reason why they're not) would be:-Rick Rude (really pissed off Vince with the WCW jump) -Randy Savage ( ) -Jeff Jarrett (LOLTNA) -Lex Luger ( ) -Not a fan, AT ALL, in fact I despise him, but he's a "name". -Madusa (Trash Can) -Chyna (Human Trash Can) -King Kong Bundy ( ) -Hillbilly Jim ( ) -Sable ( Sure she sued WWE, but so did her husband...) -Elizabeth ( ) If anyone has any insights or general thoughts, please share. You have an idea for Rick Rude, but not Randy?? Also, I thought of a terrible joke answer...but I think it might be too wrong for the forum...too risky Like the others I want to hear this terrible joke answer myself. So if you would, PM me as well.

I kinda wish WWE did two induction ceremonies one year, the big one like normal and one where its like 20-30 either people who either passed on or are not well known enough to ever make the cut for the big production.

A lot of the guys I think should be in the HoF have some black cloud over them.
Randy Savage Owen Hart British Bulldog Dynamite Kid
The only ones I can think of that they could put in with an appearance would be Demolition. I mean, the longest reigning tag team champions in WWE history, and they're not in YET?

Another one that should be in is Baron Von Raschke. Since Mad Dog Vachon is already in there, I think his old tag team partner should be there as well. Plus, I would say Von Raschke is one of the first to make the evil foreigner work, and one of the best to do it, IMHO.
