He almost certainly is even though his main event runs ended up not being great, he's still a beloved upper midcarder that always gets a reaction and puts on great matches.
edit: Also come on, being WWE HOF worthy is literally just down to are you on good terms with the company. Wrestling Observer HOF might be unlikely as that's guys who did crazy business in whatever territory or country that they were in.

He should bring those and put a lobster head on at the end of his induction.

Kayfabe, shoot, yeah, he's a Hall of Famer easily by either approach.

He never became the top guy they obviously wanted him to be (and almost killed him dead trying to get him there) but yeah he’s definitely got the credentials to get in.

I think he's a 3x Hall of Famer for his solo work, The Bar and, of course, League of Nations.

The only way I don’t see him going in is either a fall out with management or they keep holding him off until there’s a WM in Europe which might never come.

Yeah this isn't even a debate, he'll be a Hall of Famer in WWE and any other legitimate pro wrestling hall of fame by the end of his career I'd think.

It's really telling that the people who don't think he's a hall of famer can't come up with an explanation why.

It's really telling that the people who don't think he's a hall of famer can't come up with an explanation why. For me, it's not that he doesn't have the resume, he clearly does. It's not that he's not a hard worker, he is. Or that he's bad, he isn't. It's just that I can't think of a single memorable thing he's ever done. I'm just going completely off memorable things. Solid matches, great resume, great employee, he's going in, it's not even a debate. I'll never get the urge to go back and watch anything he ever did. He's just right in that meaty part of the curve. B's get degrees.

Feel like it'd be virtually impossible to argue he isn't. I feel this way about Miz, too. The argument there is whether they headline the class or not.

The matches with Gunther, Drew, Bryan and with Cesaro stick out to me as being pretty memorable. And there was also that time he fought Alberto Del Rio.

If the WWE want to publicly acknowledge anyone that has worked in their organisation whether it's in front of the camera or behind the scenes in a way that is significant for them, then I don't see what the big issue is?
Oh, and by any measured criteria, Sheamus is absolutely worthy in any event.

Absolutely easily. He's had a great WWE career.
And every WWE champion should be in the hof. Yes, even Jinder, I'm not going to be a hypocrite about my own criteria.

The match with Gunther in Cardiff alone should be inducted so yes!

As long as he doesn't pull anything blackballing like what Benoit did, yes.
Headliner, that'd be a tougher thing to justify though.

I'm sorry, there are people in the HoF who just make any thread like this completely pointless
The mention above of a 'legitimate' wrestling HoF nearly broke my brain - but in all seriousness, they've inducted people like Torrie Wilson in there, and like. No disrespect to Torrie, but she has contributed basically nothing. Less than Koko B. Ware, who was the previous... whatever the opposite of a gold standard is, tin standard?
If you have ever won a singles title, you are more deserving of going in the HoF than either Koko or Torrie.
The idea of Sheamus, who beat Cena for a world title in one of his first matches (first match?) on the main roster, not going in, is just hilarious

Torrie Wilson is in the Hall of Fame. Sheamus clears that low bar by a mile. Clears the bar? He is the bar!

He's had an impressive career so far but it's too soon for us to say definitively if his resume is on par with such illuminaries as Drew Carey,Queen Sharmell,David Von Erich,Pez Whatley or William Perry
