And who does? The Hardyz? Jake the Snake doesn't belong in the Hall of Fame.

I think it isn't too bad so far. As Jeremy of Jakks would say, you have to include the B-D list, you can't always have too many A list in one year, or else you won't have anybody to look forward to in years to come Exactly. People just don't understand business. Rock returning and Flair is enough to sell this HOF. Save the other big fish for when they are needed.

And I'm sure you're an expert of the "business", you're a mark like the rest of us. I think it isn't too bad so far.

Nada. It's a strong Hall of Fame this year. I just don't know if it's strong enough for me to buy $56 tickets. Yikes!

I can't believe people are let down by the Briscos... Jack was NWA World champion. And with Gerry was a world tag champ... They deserve to be in as much as anyone.
I think Steamboat should go in this year, along with Flair... Or at very least he should induct Flair. Him or Arn. That would be perfect.
I wonder who will induct Mae... Heck man, I'd bring in Trish to do it... Or have either Victoria or Mickie do it...
I don't know. I like this years line up so far. Add Jake Roberts and a couple other lower guys and it'll be great.

i was thinking that this year is awful when they announced the briscos...now i have nothing against briscoes but i mean use some names instead of flair that people actually know(bulldog, road warriors, pillman, roberts..ect) so far you got some old tag team, and old woman that strips everytime shes on tv, rocks family and flair Mae Young was a pioneer of women's wrestling and wrestling in general. To coin a term from Eddie Kingston, she's the last of a dying breed, a generation of the carnival wrestling federations where it was all a shoot. I've heard stories about Mae Young and Mildred Burke that are some of the most interesting things out there. The current generation of kids WWE is bringing up could learn WONDERS from Mae, and not just how to give birth to a plastic hand and give stink faces.

This person was with her on her ONLY noteworthy storyline in WWE history. Thats right ladies and gentlemen, i'm talking about Mark Henry. - Triple S

I think Jake does deserve to be in the hall of fame. He is a very under rated wrestler and I think he brought something totally different to wrestling than most guys

No, not really. But British Bulldog Davey "Boy" Smith and Owen Hart should be inductees as Hall of Fame, then that would be prefect! I agree but I don't think they want so many household names involved every year. Like, last year, if Eddie Guerrero and Mr. Perfect hadn't been inducted, I probably wouldn't have watched because I have no idea who Vern Gagne is. No disrespect to him, but that's just how they garner interest in the younger fans. Quite frankly, I don't think Owen's wife wants his name associated with wrestling anymore since his death. She's probably very bitter toward McMahon and I don't blame her, even though it was an accident. I think British Bulldog should be inducted soon, but only if his son DH Smith inducts him. It shouldn't be any other way.

I am. I mean, I respect who they are inducting, but I think they need to induct more "modern" day people (like they did with Bret); does anyone know what I mean? I am looking for Terry Funk to be inducted; I think it would be most appropriate with ECW being on TV & all (Dreamer could induct him).

Nope. Not really disappointed at all with this year's inductees. Flair is totally deserving as are "High Cheif" Peter Maivia, "Soul Man" Rocky Johnson, The Great Mae Young and now Jack & Jerry Brisco.
I'm sure Flair's speech will be very emotional as will Mae Young's speech. I'm sure she'll mention Moolah at some point and that'll be sure to get some tears going for sure.
This is a great Hall of Fame class so far and as I said, they are all deserving to be included. Each and every one of them paved the way to what you are seeing today. Enough said.

It's sad reading some of the comments on here, and seeing how the modern day fans know nothing about the greatness that was yesteryear. Honestly, Flair made wrestling what it is today, if it wasn't for Flair people like Michaels and them wouldn't be in the business. Mae Young is the only person to wrestle in every decade since the 50s. She is a pioneer of womens wrestling and tough as nails. Rocky Johnson and Peter Miavia spawned one of the greatest families in wrestling. Rocky Johnson was part of the first tag team champions to be African-American. Jack and Gerald were two of the top notch competitors in the NWA, both holding numerous titles, and going the distance night after night. Those matches you loved so much during the Attitude era were produced by Gerald most of the time.
Peopl you don't have to be dead to be in the HOF. Stop pushing for people like Owen, Bulldog, Pillman they will get there time when it comes, WWE is going into a very old school area for Wrestlemania this year, so there picks are perfect. Jack and Gerald made the Florida area, and deserve recognition. Flair bled many nights in Florida while going an hour + sometimes. Mae Young is still one of the toughest ladies in this sport. Rocky Johnson still trains some of the future of this sport. Peter Maivia can still be seen through the brutal style of Umaga, Ro-Z, Afa Jr. and many more who carry the Samoan name.
Thats me $0.02, go ahead and bash away because of what i think...
