WWE 2016 Hall of Fame

What did Terrence do?

[Matt D]

Allegedly do.

[(BP)]

The first thing that comes to mind whenever The Godfather comes up is his "match" with Road Dogg on the Owen tribute Raw. It was very touching and respectful to me as an 11-year-old, but seems...decidedly less so in retrospect.

[Nice Guy Eddie]

Hayes probably shouldn't be going in either. Nor should Terry Taylor at any point, for what it's worth.

I don't think we have to worry about the Red Rooster going in anyway.

[Victator]

Is it *just* The Godfather going in, or Charles Wight?  If Mr. Wight altogether, he deserves it fr being such a company man that he did not 1, but 3 cringe worthy gimmicks over the course of his WWF employment.

Was Kama really that cringe worthy? He was just a big martial artist. 

[Zakk_Sabbath]

Anyone complaining about Godfather's gimmick has clearly never booked talent for a stag party

[KidNatural]

Would Taylor be that much less deserving than Godfather and Koko?

His run didn't as long as either if you want to just go by longevity. The Red Rooster gimmick was doomed from the beginning and I don't know if anyone could have made it work. I will admit I loved it as a kid when the Rooster finally got his revenge against Bobby Heenan at WM5.

[The Nature Boy]

In kayfabe land, The Godfather is a former Intercontinental and Tag Team Champion. That's worth something, no?

Fuck it. What he said is exactly what I would have said in 1999.

I was at the show when he debuted as the Rooster. I was eight and moved around the arena to get a better look. A man who I now recognize as Blackjack Lanza approached me and encouraged me to chant "Rooster Rooster." Which I did as loud as I could. When it did not catch on he told me to return to my seat.

WWE should put road agents back in the crowd to encourage chants. 

 

And hire Haku

 

Would YOU say no to Haku if he told you to chant "Roman Reigns?" 

[Trocar Slush Weasel]

Oh man, does that mean Test, Santino, Drew MacIntyre and Val Venis have to go in too?  No use saying Jeff Jarrett as we all know he's never going in, even if he deserved it.

[Matt D]

Santino should absolutely go in someday. 

 

Taylor works as an agent for another five years and he's as valid a choice as most guys. But he shouldn't go in.

[Victator]

Val would be a pretty good candidate. But with his gimmick, Jeff Jarrett has a better chance. Godfather you can clean up, not so much with Val.

"Please welcome Chief Morley to the WWE Hall of Fame!"

[Victator]

Its's not the length of the run, it's what you do with it.

[The Nature Boy]

Speaking of that run, does Eric Bischoff eventually get in?

[MonteCarl]

I'd say Bischoff definitely deserves to go in based solely on the Monday Night War and what he did to bring WCW to prominence, as well as his follow up run as the RAW GM. If he actually WILL go in.....depends on Vince's mood that year.

[(BP)]

Speaking of that run, does Eric Bischoff eventually get in?

Vince gives the induction speech and makes Heyman stand on stage and watch. #vkm #conqueror

[Matt D]

I think they've gone out of their way to present Bischoff as a major figure worthy of respect over the last couple of years.

[BEN!]

That's a thing they're going to sell.  Why is another question considering how much material they have at their disposal.

 

Which is also why Godfather in the HOF doesn't make logic considering how many top stars that weren't fake pimps they haven't put in yet.

 

Like they've had two perfect chances to induct Wahoo McDaniel in Miami and New York.  And he's from Texas too.

[Matt D]

Wahoo is dead. It's better to be a pimp than to be dead.

[Nice Guy Eddie]

Wahoo is dead. It's better to be a pimp than to be dead.

What about a dead pimp?

[Tim Evans]

 

Wahoo is dead. It's better to be a pimp than to be dead.

Moolah's already in the HOF.
