As others have said, it's both a marketing opportunity and a way to give people their flowers. It's always weird when there are big arguments about rules and what should be the standard for inductions when the "committee" has always been one dude making the final call with, like, zero campaigning. There are other HOFs that actually have those things if you want that. Having said that, Rey is very much in the category of "If he doesn't go in the HOF, it's not in any way respectable" because he's arguably one of the most influential luchadores since El Santo and I don't say that lightly. Rey would probably be the Undisputed Greatest Jr. Heavyweight/Cruiserweight if Jushin Liger didn't exist. If you saw Rey Jr. for the first in 95/96, there was nothing like him and he stood out when you had guys like Liger, Ultimo Dragon, Dean Malenko, Eddie, Jericho, Psychosis, Great Sasuke & TAKA Michonoku were at their best.

They did it because they thought those little horns he wore in WCW were just too adorable
