Next year, the Corporation.
Then, the Authority.
Finally, Triple H solo.
That's right... the Game-uh is going to be a four-time Hall of Famer-uh.

If it were a legitimate Hall of Fame, I'd understand. Like, Booker T's induction back in 2013 was an acknowledgment of his career as a singles and tag-team wrestler. But was Harlem Heat as a collective unit really deserving of induction, or were they sort of a footnote in the overall career of Booker T? The same can be said for Bret Hart and The Hart Foundation. Like, yeah, The Hart Foundation launched Bret's eventual singles career, but when someone thinks of Bret Hart, they think of his world championship and Intercontinental championship runs well before they think of his debut as a tag-team wrestler.
Ric Flair and The Four Horsemen and Shawn Michaels and D-Generation X are different because they were hugely important singles wrestlers who were already well-established when they joined these significant stables. The same will be the case whenever the nWo is inducted. Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, and Scott Hall were all big-name main eventers when they joined that game-changing stable.

Why is being a multiple-time Hall of Famer a bad thing? It wasn't really a big issue (it had happened.......twice before, maybe?) until this year when suddenly 3 people were going in again. It seemed suddenly excessive, like a sign they were running out of people who'd say yes or people Vince wanted to ask, and also seen by some as displacing others who are still on the wait list (which just exists in Vince's head, let's face it). But in reality: Stevie Ray wasn't going in on his own. The Anvil wasn't going in on his own. Chyna wasn't going in on her own.......yet. I do think her chances increased with the fan & industry reaction, though. It was weird to see 3 in one year, but I wasn't one who was bugged. |

I'd say yes to Harlem Heat and the Hart Foundation. As they were or at least close to being the absolute best teams of their respective eras. It's not like say, a Nikolai Volkoff, where he has a hall of fame career in singles, then putting in The Bolsheviks separately. |

I see it as the tag team/faction itself being inducted, not the individual members. So when the Hart Foundation was inducted, it was as its own entity, not as a second induction for Bret Hart. Having said that, I'd probably feel different if there was any real legitimacy to the HoF.

I guess I am more bugged by the women going in under 40. I mean it just feels weird having people go in so young. Beth Phoenix is was 36 for christ sake when she went it. I know they are retired and done is done, but the HOF would have a little more credibility if they wanted till they reached elder status before going in.

I don't see the big deal at all. Yes, sports halls of fame are purely based on individual achievement, but sports also don't have stables or tag-teams like wrestling. Wrestling also isn't purely a sport. The best comparison is to music, where you have solo artists that also perform in bands. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame cited is a good example.

This doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Even legitimate sports halls of fame don't have any age limit, just X amount of years between retirement and eligibility (usually five). Like, Rob Gronkowski would be eligible to be inducted into the Football Hall of Fame at 34 or 35.

If Bret Hart had a career ending injury in 1990 or 91 the Hart Foundation would still be a Hall Of Fame level tag team,outside of Demolition they were the most popular WWE team of the 80's. And Harlem Heat would absolutely be HOF worthy if Booker had a career ended injury when his single turn took off,Harlem Heat is WCW's biggest tag team aside from The Steiner Brothers. |

Happens quite a bit in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. You have bands inducted as a whole (The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Genesis) And then the solo acts inducted that split from them (Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks, Peter Gabriel) My only issue is that WWE did it backwards. The Hart Foundation amd Harlem Heat should have gone in before Booker and Bret as singles I was trying to think of a good explanation for why I'm ok with it, and this is it. It's not like a sport because teams and solo runs are seperate. For a lot of legends, I can see them being 3 timers. Solo Tag Stable They tend to be different entities that all deserve recognition. Keeping the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame analogy, an artist has gone in multiple times for being part of multiple bands. For example, David Crosby went in as a member of The Byrds AND as a member of Crosby, Still, and Nash. Eric Clampton is the only three-timer as himself, as well as with Cream and The Yardbirds. This can extend to WWE'S HOF by inducting multiple tag teams and factions a wrestler has been in. Edge going in as member of Edge and Christian AND as Rated RKO Randy Orton going in as himself, Evolution, and Legacy. Jacques Rougeau going in as The Mountie, and as a member of the Fabulous Rougeau Brothers and The Quebecers. And the list goes on. There's nothing wrong with it, as it's happened in other HOFs. |

After having Ric as the only multiple HoF for so long, I thought they ran the idea into the ground by having three guys have their second induction on the same night.
It was one of the reasons I completely checked out of the show and chose to watch Supercard instead.

No, because the HOF is just something else for the WWE to sell tickets to.

Maybe it was just overkill cause they did it three times this year. On top of that they inducted DX which could have been 4 new inductions on its own. Triple H, X-Pac, New Aged Outlaws, and Chyna. It was a weird year. It’s only going to get weirder. With so many people on bad terms, the Legacy wing and only wanting to do one dead person a year. This has been my go to list for a few years. It hasn’t been updated with this years yet. www.notinhalloffame.com/wwe |
