stro Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 http://www.wwe.com/superstars/halloffame Look through those and tell me Jackie isn't as worthy as a good number of those people, including jobbers and people that never even worked for Vince. Let's not pretend the WWE HOF is super prestigious. It has a convicted rapist, drug addicts, philanderers, racists, animal and spouse abusers, drunks, felons.

AxB Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 You know how they put Pete Rose into the WWE HoF because he's not in the Baseball one? Motorhead still aren't in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. And I think you can excuse the posthumous induction ratio on this score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamal Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I certainly hope it's fake, as it's underwhelming, and I will ask again and pray for an answer: why does anyone think Jacqueline belongs in the HoF? - First African American WWE Women's Champion - Good to decent runs in USWA, WCW, and WWE - Former Cruiserweight Champion (yeah, I know that one is kind of whatever) - She was pretty good in the ring and probably the most underrated woman during the Attitude Era 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORELOCK Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 http://www.wwe.com/superstars/halloffame Look through those and tell me Jackie isn't as worthy as a good number of those people, including jobbers and people that never even worked for Vince. Let's not pretend the WWE HOF is super prestigious. It has a convicted rapist, drug addicts, philanderers, racists, animal and spouse abusers, drunks, felons. So, let literally anyone into the Hall of Fame? "More noteworthy than Koko B. Ware" isn't a great criterion. Also, WWE clearly views their Hall as being a general wrestling HoF, so I don't know why anyone still bothers pointing out who did or did not work for Vince. It's irrelevant. I certainly hope it's fake, as it's underwhelming, and I will ask again and pray for an answer: why does anyone think Jacqueline belongs in the HoF? - First African American WWE Women's Champion - Good to decent runs in USWA, WCW, and WWE - Former Cruiserweight Champion (yeah, I know that one is kind of whatever) - She was pretty good in the ring and probably the most underrated woman during the Attitude Era Faint praise. She, Tori, and Ivory were working with a bunch of non-wrestlers. And there are tons of people who worked USWA/WCW/WWE that will never sniff the Hall. I'm just not seeing it. She certainly shouldn't be in before Sable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Jackie's a perfectly fine choice. She fits the tone and tenor of the HOF pretty well. There's a number of women at about that level, be it Ivory or Molly or Jazz, and I think there's no harm in adding any of them. It's Godfather that would be an absolute shit show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Papa Shango ruled so hard, Wright should get in. I am mostly serious about that. Actually, between Shango, NOD Kama, and Godfather (I was 16, so forgive me for enjoying that gimmick), he had three gimmicks that from my narrow viewpoint I find particularly notable in WWE history. I would be fine with his inclusion. Also, he made the Warrior drip with voodoo blood once. VOODOO BLOOD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Jackie should probably get in just for the speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 It's not that I think that Wright isn't notable or storied enough to get in based on precedent and relative importance; he is. It's that I think he's monumentally stupid to put in. Hunter's worried about people googling Chyna or whatever. Maybe putting in the guy most renown for a portraying a pimp is a bad choice? Chyna made her own decisions. Wright's character was a WWE decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I see where you're coming from, Matt. I don't believe Hunter's excuse for not putting Chyna in the HoF, though. It's a smokescreen. First, he doesn't want Chyna up there giving a speech about her time in the company, which ended with HHH cheating on her with Stephanie. He doesn't want to risk being put on blast in a speech on their prestigious HoF show. I'm sure Stephanie doesn't, either. He's also a petty dude, the type of dude that said fifteen or so years after it happened that he wouldn't be as stupid as Bret was in not seeing the screwjob coming, so I'm sure he's also sticking the knives in a bit as well because that's what he does, much like Vince.

But let's be real here, Triple H doesn't really worry about children googling Chyna and finding porn.

Matt D Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 WWE inducts fake pimp isn't much better. And he may not really believe it but he said it so he has to stay consistent. He's smart enough to know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'm still curious why Cyndi Lauper's not in. Isn't there still a little bitterness on all sides about the Wendi Richter thing and that it ended up uncerimounsly ending Lauper's connection to the WWE right away?

I'm sure they would have preferred not to see that headline either. I still think there's a big difference between portraying a pimp on television and participating in actual porn.

steve Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 The difference between Sunny and Chyna is that Sunny's already in. I mean, I agree with everyone else that the porn thing is just a convenient excuse for Chyna. But if Sunny wasn't already in, I think the porn would keep her out in the future.

Sunny was part of a topless softcore site with Missy Hyatt long before she was inducted, IIRC, so even that doesn't really wash. Congrats to your Panthers from a Seahawks fan, by the way.
