Kane & X-Pac was my favorite team of the 90's. They gelled so well together, and it was a great storyline.

It is for the best. The Levesque family doesn't want the grief when one of the youngins Google Sean Waltman.

I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

The 123 Kid actually was something he should be proud of being inducted for. While I can understand and appreciate his hesitation of a solo induction, Waltman absolutely deserves to be in pretty much every wrestling HOF ever. While the internet didn't exist at the time, pre-WWF Waltman was basically the first "IWC indy darling". Dude paved the way for a lot of guys that never would have gotten a shot due to their size and not talent. Co-signed. I've said it a hundred times, but he was amazing before neck injuries and other issues derailed him. Was he the best wrestler in the world? No. But the argument was there that he was one of them.

Yes, everyone remembers Pillman/Liger kicking off the light-heavy/cruiserweight movement of the '90s. But really, it started in the GWF with the Lightning Kid.

This is going to sound like a knock on Waltman, and I don't intend it as one, but really, the NWO induction should just be Hogan, Hall and Nash. He was a big enough part of DX (the second iteration) to deserve to go in, but to the NWO, he was no bigger player than say, Buff Bagwell. Big fan of his in ring work, and it's not a super big deal either way, but I would have kept this with the original trio.
He absolutely should go in as a singles guy though for his 1-2-3 Kid run. He was one of the performers, along with Mysterio later on, of his generation that really opened things up for smaller guys.
