March 8, 20187 yr comment_5834812 I am not a huge Big Show fan, but its really hard to argue against him being in the WWE HOF. Big Show has been involved in a ton of wrestle crap, but the resume speaks for itself: 2 Time WCW World Heavyweight Champion 3 Time WCW World Tag Team Champion4 Time WWF/E Champion3 Time WWF/E Hardcore Champion 8 Time Time Tag Team Champion5 Time Slammy Award Winner 1 TimeUnited States Champion1 Time Intercontinental Champion 1 Time ECW World Champion I wouldn't be upset if/when he is inducted.
March 8, 20187 yr comment_5834814 A better question is who doesnt deserve to get in? Whats the limit? John Morrison? Koslov? The Beverly Brothers?
March 8, 20187 yr comment_5834815 Forget it. The limo driver got in. Koko got in. I guess Damian DeMento and Duke Droese are a stretch.

He was also involved in one of the most high-profile matches in WrestleMania history, and his appearance on SNL the night The Rock was on was a highlight of that show. Those things count as much if not more in WWE's eyes.
March 8, 20187 yr Author comment_5834847 I'm of the opinion that when Undertaker gets in, there should be a whole night for it. This wouldn't be too unprecedented as Andre was the only official inductee in 1993, even though there wasn't a ceremony for it.

This wouldn't be too unprecedented as Andre was the only official inductee in 1993, even though there wasn't a ceremony for it. They could do Undertaker related people. From the streak alone: Sid. Bundy. Albert (for NXT as much as anything). Henry. Maybe Bruce Prichard too as Brother Love. And Michelle McCool to boot.
March 8, 20187 yr Author comment_5834864 Maybe. I could almost see them doing it as something separate from WrestleMania weekend (while still having a ceremony at it at that year).

I don't want WWE to just have him be his dead man persona like they did with Paul Bearer HOF. I guess WWE forgot about ABA era.
March 8, 20187 yr comment_5834894 Whats Batistas beef with OVW? He didn't get along with Cornette,I believe.
March 8, 20187 yr comment_5834896 That, and he felt they didn't train him properly for the main roster because all they had him do was squash matches as Leviathan. When he had to do more evenly booked matches he really didn't have any idea what to do at first.
March 8, 20187 yr comment_5834897 Maybe. I could almost see them doing it as something separate from WrestleMania weekend (while still having a ceremony at it at that year). I increasingly think they should do something like that around a big UK show. They could probably charge a million bucks for the tickets and the UK fans would gobble that up. Bulldogs (or at least DBS), Johnny Saint, Lord Alfred Hayes, Regal, (I was going to say Haystacks Calhoun but he's already in). Maybe Big Daddy? Finlay?
March 8, 20187 yr comment_5834909 Really not fond of Koko being positioned as the go-to name for "anyone can get in" argument.
March 8, 20187 yr comment_5834912 Really not fond of Koko being positioned as the go-to name for "anyone can get in" argument. Agreed. Who sets the bar the lowest? Can't speak on James Dudley because I don't know enough about him outside the established narratives. Jacqueline? I can't recall a single time WWF Jacqueline was over outside of the Sable feud.
March 8, 20187 yr comment_5834913 Really not fond of Koko being positioned as the go-to name for "anyone can get in" argument. I remember Koko seemed like the least deserving entrant ever in 2009. Perhaps that has followed him even when less deserving inductees have entered since then.
March 8, 20187 yr comment_5834916 Koko was awesome. He was the featured guy on the Piledriver album, and since the WWE HOF now encompasses whole careers, his Memphis run is amazing and should count.

I would love to live in a United Kingdom where Johnny Saint gets the massive adulation he deserves but man, that's a crazy pick. Wrestling fans of the last 15-20 years are more likely to know Johnny Storm than Johnny Saint. Big Daddy would absolutely be the WoS pick on pop culture crossover alone but even then, that's reaching for a UK show. It'd be Regal, Davey, Finlay, Hayes, Adrian Street and I don't know, Lord Littlebrook as your inductees.

Does Haystacks Calhoun have some UK ties I'm not aware of or were you thinking of Giant Haystacks/Loch Ness?

One for Canada wouldn't be too bad either.

Does Haystacks Calhoun have some UK ties I'm not aware of or were you thinking of Giant Haystacks/Loch Ness? I hired the one wrong legged guy. As for what Stiva said? I'm not even sure how to deal with it. Trips is MUCH more inclined to put in Johnny Saint who he had Regal talk him into being a guest trainer at the Performance Center than anyone who's wrestled in the UK in the last 20 years. It doesn't matter what UK wrestling fans of the last twenty years would know.
March 9, 20187 yr comment_5834964 I desperately want them to put Big Daddy in the WWE HOF. Itd be a wonderful time to be in these corners of the internet I visit.
March 9, 20187 yr comment_5834970 Really not fond of Koko being positioned as the go-to name for "anyone can get in" argument. Koko deserves to be in I mean he was wrestling in WWE what 86? and I remember him wrestling Jarrett in 94 on Raw.
March 9, 20187 yr comment_5834979 If nothing else, I'm sure Quackenbush would let them use the footage of Saint working with Daniel Bryan and Cesaro to help sell the thing to the younger crowd.
