As far as Bruno goes, thanks for proving my point that you have to be willing to do business with the WWE to get into the Hall. Bret Hart is a big enough star to still make Vince lots of money after a decade away from the ring which gives him more leeway in saying something bad about Vince. King Booker is not that big of a star to get away with it. What are they gonna do? Induct him against his will? This is stupid. You're holding WWE accountable for his not being in the hall of fame when in all probability it was Sammartino's decision not to go in. Well in all fairness the Sex Pistols are in the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame. Anyway, about Bruno you can be sure that he'll go in the Hall of Fame as soon as he dies. |

Nah as of now WWE would prolly view him as a Barry Bonds type...a black guy who needed steroids to be successful. Then again if Iron Sheik can get in with his current status anyone can. Even without all the allegations though, there's so many more guys I would put in there before Booker (Rude, Ms Elizabeth, Roberts, Yoko, not to mention like 7 guys from the attitude era alone, etc)

The R-n-R Hall of Fame inducted Van Halen without any of the current members of the band at the event. |

The R-n-R Hall of Fame inducted Van Halen without any of the current members of the band at the event. The difference is that the RNR HOF has guidelines to qualify (25 years have passed since first record) and also have a selection process with voting and all that. The WWE doesnt have a process or any guidelines that are known for their HOF. It's basically up to Vince I imagine. |

Booker should be inducted, but only if he is also inducted as G.I. Bro that same night.

Okay, sure it's possible... but I don't think it's right to induct someone that doesn't want to be inducted. Especially since, as previously mentioned, this is less a real hall of fame and more of a time every year when Vince goes "hey, remember this old guy?" If Sammartino doesn't want to be a part of it, his wish should be respected. |

If the HoF wasn't a joke, I'd have said "no thanks".
Booker Y had a long and "successful" career, but as far as I'm concerned he never really did something that stood out.
Sure, he was a solid performer, a reliable upper midcarder, but HoF should be for people who left a mark on the industry. And to be honest, I fail to see how Booker was SO relevant.
But since WWE HoF is more or less a mixture of Superstars and pro-wrestlers, Booker T will get a spot.
But there are tons of people who'd get in before Booker Y

of course he is. He's a tag team legend, and had a successful singles career too as a multiple time world champion.
