With the recent inductions of Brock Lesnar, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Sting to the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame I saw this December as a good time to reflect on the reasons behind these inductions, the possibility of a modern bias within both the voting system and electorate, and perhaps most importantly the influence of the WWE historical hype machine on voting patterns. In the article we discuss the cases of Lesnar and Volk Han in particular, as well as general biases and external influences through the lenses of Sting, Nakamura, CM Punk, and others. As always any feedback positive or negative would be very much appreciated! ARTICLE LINK

Then I with the information given by the panelists will make a final verdict on the issue Some Topic Ideas Is WWE a monopoly? Are wrestlers being trained properly? Has WWE philosophy on smaller guys changed? Can a wrestler make a living without WWE? What is the role of selling in wrestling in this day…
