WWE Hall of Fame 2018

I've never understood the hubbub about Chyna getting in. For me the issue has never been that she made some porn films, so much as the content of the films. If I'm a petty millionaire who runs a vanity Hall of Fame for my company, and a disgruntled ex-employee makes a porn film featuring versions of me, my daughter and my son-in-law, then I'm probably going to put Jeff Jarrett, Tekno Team 2000 and Kwang into my HoF before Chyna.

Didn't Inoki do a few MSG appearances?

Yup - in fact the WWE's Youtube channel uploaded some clips years ago when they inducted him into the HOF

(The two I quickly found are a battle royal he won and a match against David Schultz)

Remember, she's a Kinky Boots movie re-adaptaion away from an EGOT.

(Emmy for Mad About You, Tony for Kinky Boots, Grammy for the Kinky Boots Broadway soundtrack and Best New Artist)

No joke, I think she's vastly underrated, both in the wrestling bubble way (she was the rock in the Rock N Wrestling era dammit) and in pop culture in general.

What in the world did Elizabeth ever do to deserve being in the HoF?

She was a huge part of getting Randy Savage over in the WWF and a big part of the Wrestlemania V main event. That is more than enough for the WWE HOF. Which does not factor in a decent run as a manager during the WCW boom period. 

She has a better case than some of the women currently in the WWE Hall like Jackie and Beth Phoenix. She was a more vital part of the TV in her era than some of the men in the Hall.

I ain't disagreeing. I love Cyndi Lauper. I even like Vibes.

I love Christian, but, yeah, DDP was way the fuck more over than him peak vs peak.

Christian will go in either when they have a hole to fill or when they bring Mania back to Toronto.

DDP was basically a failure in the WWE and it's the WWE HOF. DDP got in for saving Jake/Hall as much as anything else.

Why do people still stick to this idea that it is a WWE Only HoF? It is a HoF created by Vince and WWE, for sure, but they are clearly reaching for it to be an all encompassing Pro-Wrestling Hall of Fame. They have inducted many guys who never even wrestled with WWE, and many more who may have had a cup of coffee with WWE but obviously made their names and built their HoF careers in other companies. 

That said, DDP's run in WCW was HoF-worthy. He was #2 face in the #1 company during the hottest run wrestling has ever had in the US, and he's one of a very few guys who would be considered "home grown WCW superstars". His WWE run was pathetic and WWE botched him far worse than WCW botched Bret Hart.
