Owen was also an actual Intercontinental Champion, unlike Holly. Plus he was a King of the Ring winner. Not to mention a damn good wrestler. You forgot to add that Owen was also a 2-time Slammy Award Winner. ;D

One main event squashing by Brock Lesnar and over a decade of not being over shouldnt really qualify for a HOF spot but thats just my opinion

Holly was a trainer from Tough Enough, and Johnny Rodz was inducted for his training.
Playing devil's advocate here.

If Holly can get inducted, can we induct Duane Gill also? He had his one moment as Gillberg. We could also induct Steve Lombardi who had his moment as Kim Chee.

Sure. Sarcasm aside, I could see Lombardi legit in there as the Brooklyn Brawler.
But as I've said, put whoever you want in there. It's an honorific distinction for a show.

After all Lombardi has allegedly been through, Hell I'm surprised he has NOTHING to show for it outside of a seemingly lifetime job

"And, no, I don't count his time on ECW or getting destroyed by Lesnar at the 2004 Royal Rumble as main event status." Oh yes the Brock/Holly match. Leading up to the match at Royal Rumble 2004 they gave it a brief feud to follow it to make it look more important than it was. Its not main event. Dont fool yourself. Throwing it as 3rd to last on the card dont help it either. It was a match to help get Brock over even more as a big squasher. Brock wasnt jobbing to Holly at all. That result wasnt even in thought. There was money to be made from Brock Lesnar. Money made from him giving wrestlers the F-5. Not cash from old Sparky Thurman Plug. Did Tito ever get a world title shot at a ppv? Nope Why do people keep bringing this up? When Tito was in his prime, THERE WERE NO PAY PER VIEWS. Tito main evented more house shows (which were INFINITELY more important than they are today) than Bob Holly ever will dream of. Tito was the IC champ when the IC championship was extremely important. He had feuds with people like Greg Valentine, Randy Savage, and Demolition (with Martel) that people remember 20-25+ years later. Do you honestly think for one second that Holly getting squashed by Lesnar at the 04 rumble is even remotely close to the feuds that Santana had 25 years ago? Santana got pops almost as big as Hogan. Holly gets crickets. Santana was respected in the locker room. Holly is a bully. Santana put more asses in the seats in one house show than Holly has in 13 years. Yes, by the time things like Superstars, Wrestling challenge, and PPVs rolled around, Santana was largely a jobber to the stars. But most of his career was before that time, and he achieved more in one feud with Valentine than Hardcore has in over a decade.

I will agree with that Tito is a thousand time more important than Holly is/was.

No, because Santana was a valuable member of what we used to call a "mid-card" which was a solid and essential part of the WWE back in days of yore.

ugh I hope Holly never gets in.
The wwe Hall of Fame is imo a joke. But still there are so many others who deserve to get in before Holly.

NO.
The only thing of note Hardcore Holly has done is somehow manage to stay employed for 13 years. I can't recall him doing anything of any importance since about 1999.

If the WWE Hall of Fame is already a joke, than why are you objecting for Holly to get in? I understand that there are many others who need to go in first, but saying he should never come in doesn't make sense since the WWE HOF is already flawed in your mind.
