  1. Uh, wrap it up, WWE Hall of Fame, it's over.

    ReplyDelete
  2. Neither one headlines, so they're not horrible choices.

    ReplyDelete
  3. These headlines suck.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Mickie James? Seriously, bro? The "Diva's Wing" is quickly dropping to the same level as the "Celebrity Wing" or the "Koko B. Ware Token Jobber To The Stars Wing"

    ReplyDelete
  5. The wwe ratings are right back to where they will be for the rest of the year and then they'll jump up again for the Royal Rumble etc. 2.88, 4 million viewers. That is their week to week audience give or take a few hundred thousand week to week.

    ReplyDelete
  6. I agree with those ratings, that last hour dragged.

    ReplyDelete
  7. HOF 2015: The asses you do and DON'T want to see!

    ReplyDelete
  8. See WWE? People don't like horror movie angles and they also care about Bryan.

    ReplyDelete
  9. They always drop during the NBA/NHL playoffs. They'll get an automatic bump in July in addition to the Summerslam push.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I'd care more about the wwe hall of fame if it was a real thing, and not a gimmick to get more money mania weekend and take care of the people in good with Vince. Put Melina and Gail Kim in if you want Vince.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Mickie James gets inducted, and coincidently Cena won't be at the event.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I just saw Joey Styles tweet that "the Authority" is going to make some type of announcement concerning the world title on Raw. I really hope it's not being vacated, but we shall see.

    ReplyDelete
  13. What about Victoria?

    ReplyDelete
  14. LMAO. Nikki would not be too happy.

    ReplyDelete
  15. She better not go to the event either.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Nor should Kenny Dykstra. Haha.

    ReplyDelete

  18. Tournaments are awesome!
    Everything is cool when you don't know who'll win.
    Tournaments are awesome!
    To bad Vince hates them.....

    ReplyDelete
  19. I don't think he has to worry.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Hey now, Mickie's ass isn't *that* bad.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Rikishi and Mickie James? Wellllllllllllll, since there are nooooo other really must-induct peeeeople left to go in the WWE HOF, they may be the best of what's left, if you smell what i'm cooking! Dig it!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Rikishi? Really? lol

    ReplyDelete
  23. Yeah. He's more black balled than JJ or Luger at this point.

    ReplyDelete
  24. So who are the big names that could still be inducted? If Undertaker ever retires, there is him. Savage if they ever agree to put in the entire Poffo family, which I would assume they would do at some point, if for no other reason than you can't have an entire class made up of Mickie James/Rikishi level performers.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Rude, Savage, Undertaker, Rock..

    ReplyDelete
  26. The problem is Vince doesn't like inducting more than one dead person a year.


    That and he's a prick who holds a grudge.

    ReplyDelete
  27. He just held a tournament.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Touche. Looks like this year is falling into the same pattern as last.

    ReplyDelete
  29. oh god that song.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Can't believe I forgot Rocky. I wonder how many classes could be headlined by someone that died prematurely before someone noticed and was creeped out by it.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Sting and Luger aren't in.

    ReplyDelete
  32. There are quite a few headliners still left:
    Randy Savage, Vince, The Rock, Undertaker, the NWO, Sting, Triple H, Goldberg, and Kurt Angle. If they spread these guys out once a year I think they're fine because eventually guys like Cena and Punk will go in too.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Has Vince gotten over Luger leaving?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Get out of here, and take your logic and facts with you!

    ReplyDelete
  35. yep, he works in the wellness program for WWE now

    ReplyDelete
  36. When I read through this, I thought you said NWO Sting.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Cool deal. I read a story about him recently and I don't think it mentioned him working for them now.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hahahaha, well, if Koko can get in...

    ReplyDelete
  39. I think the problem is less headliners and more midcard acts. I mean Mickie James? Really? I thought she was great and she had ONE great angle, but then what? Her impact (no pun intended) on the business was 1/10th of a LIta or a Sherri Martel

    ReplyDelete
  40. Make some shit up. Ain't no one gonna notice.

    ReplyDelete
  41. ehh if Bruno can get in and Warrior anyone not named Jeff Jarrett can get in.

    ReplyDelete
  42. What did Kenny Dykstra do (Besides having the worst wrestling name ever?)

    ReplyDelete
  43. I agree. She's not even close to being the most deserving (I think Madusa is a better choice).

    But yeah, a lot of the "midcard" has already burned through. I was really surprised that this year had 7 inductees when last year had 6 and the year before 5. I figured WWE would scale back on inductees just to keep the pot bigger for future years. They can't do too many 11-inductee years like 2004 without having to induct Iron Mike Sharpe eventually.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Pretty sure he went on a tirade about Cena, and how he buried him or something. I don't think it's wise to talk trash about the company's franchise.

    ReplyDelete
  45. That's what Meltzer does most days. *BOOM!!*

    ReplyDelete
  46. well didnt' they put Johnny Rodz in?

    ReplyDelete
  47. Yeah, I'm sure I'm missing a few, including guys that are debatable headliners (like Rick Rude... I love the guy, but I don't think he's a big enough mainstream "name" to make the cut as a headliner. I think DDP falls into that category too).

    Regardless, there are at least 10 years of solid headliners available, which is really what WWE is concerned about. The 5-6 "other guys" aren't as crucial to selling the ceremony as a big deal.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Deal with it!
    Both this and Let it Go have their own levels of annoyance.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Is that you, Meltzer?

    ReplyDelete
  50. WHO ARE YOU TO DOUBT JOHNNY RODZ? I think he's a heck of a wrestler, a great technician in the ring, and a jam up guy!

    ReplyDelete
  51. What about Lesnar?

    ReplyDelete

  56. just went to my daughter's spring concert where every grade, no matter how untalented sings. Last night the 5th grade did Let it go Actually wasn't bad. But what the 6th grade did to Can't by me love (lot of beatles songs) was criminal. My wife has that awful lego movie song on the spotify mix for my daughter and I swear it comes up every time in the car when we are riding somewhere.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Just throw Scotty 2 Hotty in there while you're at it.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Jeff Jarrett has said that Vince and he made up shortly after his wife died when Vince called to offer condolences. I don't know if it's a Hall of Fame-worthy make-up, but Jarrett isn't a Bruno or Warrior anyway so it's not like his induction would make WWE a lot of money.

    Now Kevin "Nailz" Wacholz on the other hand...

    ReplyDelete
  59. the real double J not Bruno or Warrior? Hush your mouth.

    ReplyDelete
  60. One of the most memorable gimmicks of all time.

  62. Arby's sucks since they ditche the hot ham and swiss sub.

    ReplyDelete
  63. The pros and cons to each one.
    Let it Go
    Pros
    Beautiful song, sure to be a Disney Classic.
    Cons
    It's one of those songs that is getting beat into the ground because everyone has to have their own version up online.
    Everything is Awesome
    Pros
    If you listen to the song closely, as it ties with the film, the song has a deeper meaning in an ironic sense. It even has some hidden messages in it.
    Cons
    The simple repetitiveness of it can turn people away from the song after one hear through.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Oh, Lesnar for sure. I was just thinking retired guys. Of the current era, I can see Lesnar, Cena, and Punk as definite headliners. Though I'd love to see Lesnar, Punk, RVD, and Heyman all get inducted the same year... a class full of "Paul Heyman Guys"

    ReplyDelete
  65. Judging by how I did the pros and cons you can see which one got on my good side and which one didn't.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Say what you want, buy the Worm was over.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Rikishi is much more deserving than Mickie James.

    ReplyDelete
  68. If it's that big a deal I'll make one for you.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I remember as a kid I use to imitate the worm, well, at least up until the part where he did the worm.

  74. Man Mountain Rock is much more deserving than Mickie James.

  75. Amsterdam_Adam_CurryMay 14, 2014 at 10:25 AM

    I'd like to see Heyman, Raven, Dreamer, Sandman, Sabu, RVD, Beulah, Fonzie, and probably Shane Douglas and maybe Corino all go in together as the class of ECW or something. But if they induct Justin Credible they can fuck off. They can fuck off and die!

  89. Jef Vinson (Homewreckers Inc™)May 14, 2014 at 10:30 AM

    The Hart Foundation COULD go in. I remember Vruce suggesting that as to circumvent Martha Hart's demands not to induct Owen.
    I can't see HHH making her change her mind on this one.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Just ignore it man.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Oh yeah, it would be a great salute to Heyman and his contribution to the business to do a Heyman-themed Hall of Fame, although there's a few I don't see making it because they're on bad terms with WWE and aren't huge enough names to throw a bunch of money at like Bruno or Warrior (Raven, Douglas) or just probably not familiar enough to the average fan (Justin Credible, Corino). As much as we goof on him, at least a lot of fans were familiar with Koko B Ware.

    ReplyDelete

    I think Raven and Vince have buried the hatchet, and the world isn't going to end if we never see Douglas on WWE TV again. Corino likely has no shot as long as he's with ROH though.

    ReplyDelete
  102. I'd be surprised if that doesn't piss off Batista.

    Come to think of it, I'm thinking of Jarrett, not Raven.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Yep, but it says something that Raven actually got booked for WM 17 just 6 months after that. Clearly Vince liked his work.

    ReplyDelete
  107. I'd like to think that Dave is above all that since he's going off to promote a film and Dolph will continue to be stuck in WWE limbo.

    Nash and Hall should have gone in together.

    ReplyDelete
  111. When I want to be elegant, I'll do a VIKING SPACE LORD BROCK LESNAR post.

    ReplyDelete
  112. Even as a mid-level inductee, I don't get Mickie James. Rikishi sounded weird to me at first when you JUST consider that gimmick, but when you consider his years in the business, from the Samoan Swat Team to the Headshrinkers, up through the Rikishi years, it makes a lot more sense. He also had some very memorable moments: the RR2000 spot where he cleared the ring and danced, the 10-man tag on RAW...heck, even helping Rock close the Kiss My Ass club...

    This begs the question, though, of what mid-level HOFers we'd want to see if not Mickie. Dreamer and Sabu jump out at me off the top of my head, plus Tazz whenever TNA goes under. Bigelow deserves a posthumous induction. Haku is another one, partly because I just want to hear him give a speech. Jericho wouldn't headline. but he gets a spot one of these days, obviously...

    ReplyDelete
  113. I think both Rikishi and Mickie are stretches to say the least. I think you go with The Rock, Goldberg or Sting as your headliner, maybe both. I like Luger and Rick Rude going in. You have to think either DX as a group, Waltman or the Outlaws are going in at some point. There's nothing that says a female wrestler has to go in every year. To me, JBL is a better inductee than Rikishi.

    ReplyDelete
  114. They've had too many instances where several potential head-liners were inducted simultaneously - Piper shouldn't have been overshadowed by Hogan, Jake shouldn't have been overshadowed by Warrior, Slaughter shouldn't have been overshadowed by Venture, Edge should have been inducted a few years later, etc.

    ReplyDelete
  115. I think Jericho is absolutely a headliner. "Near" future headliners, in my mind, are the Rock, Sting, Undertaker, Jericho, Goldberg and possibly HHH if he will do it.

    ReplyDelete
  116. And think about how much he helped the community with his "Make a difference" campaign!

    ReplyDelete
  117. Why doesn't WWE make Smackdown a "wrestling" show like it was from 2002-2005ish? Giant pet peeve of mine when midcarders squash midcarders. Or, better yet they could just have a boatload of squash matches with midcarders or main eventers beating JOBBERS.

    ReplyDelete
  118. I'm sure it was better than Edge's.

    ReplyDelete
  119. I think with guys like Eddie and Edge it makes sense from a marketing standpoint to get them in as soon as possible while their careers are still fresh in the fans' minds. Regardless, there's no doubt that Edge was the headliner that year.

    ReplyDelete
  120. I think eventually they'll put in the Outsiders as a team.

    ReplyDelete
  121. If they JUST induct her ass, id be fine with that

    ReplyDelete
  122. I figured they'd induct the original NWO (Hogan, Hall, Nash)

    ReplyDelete
  123. Right. If Edge is a headliner, no way in hell Jericho isnt

    ReplyDelete
  124. Jericho is a headliner both for his career and his charisma as a headlining speaker who could fill 45 minutes and make us all laugh

    ReplyDelete
  125. How about 02-03 and 05. We can exclude 2004 :D

    ReplyDelete
  126. They have so many shows each can have a personality. Raw stays Raw. Smackdown becomes JCP, Main Event becomes AWA/SLWC, Superstars can be CWA, etc. Obviously I use these old federations as shorthand, but this country needs a good old-fashioned rasslin' show and a real wrestling showcase to go along with sports entertainment hooey.

    ReplyDelete
  127. But HHH ruined his career. [/internet]

  130. Jef Vinson (Homewreckers Inc™)May 14, 2014 at 11:10 AM

    Question: Have the Midnights, Rock and Roll Express and Cornette been inducted? Add Savage, Bigelo and Arn Anderson and that is a nice 2015 class.

    [Madd Rapper]...tell 'em why you mad, son! Tell 'em why you mad! {[Madd Rapper]

    ReplyDelete
  132. Nope. And Arn Anderson was already inducted as part of the Horsemen. I don't see many guys being double-inductees outside Flair and Hogan (for nwo) and Triple H (just because).

    ReplyDelete
  133. RE: Hall of Fame - In order to keep from blowing their load too quickly (they're already running out of legit head-liners), I think that WWE needs to set-up some sort of "template" for inductions each year:

    1) Head-Liner (A still-living guy that was a big name and would provide a great speech.)
    2) Respected upper-card guy (Guys like Steamboat, Booker, etc.)
    3) Tag-Team or Stable
    4) Female
    5) Dead Person
    6) Other On-Air Talent (A manager, commentator, etc.)
    7) Celebrity
    8) Fondly-remembered mid-carder (Koko, Duggan, etc.)
    9) "Pre-Hogan" or Non-WWE Person
    10) Misc. Contributors (Someone like Jim Johnston, or trainers like Fit Finlay.)

    Ten might sound like a lot, and they obviously wouldn't have to do ten per year, but I think putting restrictions based on categories would more evenly distribute the star-power each year. As I said further down, it bothered me to see Piper get overshadowed by Hogan, or Jake overshadowed by Warrior - both Piper and Jake were super-popular icons in their day, and both could have provided their own headliner-worthy speeches.

    ReplyDelete
  134. No to the teams or Cornette. I'd actually save them for 2016 because that'll be in Dallas so at least 'close' to the old Watts territory. Maybe...
    Savage
    AA
    DDP
    Bulldogs

    I'd add an international star. Muta goes in when he eventually retires.

    ReplyDelete
  136. At some point, is everyone going to be in the HOF except for jobbers? I think they need to cut the number of inductions down to 3-4 and not the 7-8 or whatever they have been doing.

    ReplyDelete
  137. And Bob's Your UncleMay 14, 2014 at 11:17 AM

    Mickie James? Seriously? Oh hey I know, why don't we induct Bob Holly next. Or what about Todd Pettingill. Or Bob Smith the jobber in that one match that one time on Superstars back in 89. Or whatabout Bill from the ring crew? Hey, can we get a spot for Adam Bomb? Jesus... A hall of fame where EVERYBODY eventually gets in is not a hall of fame...

    I get the spirit in which it's meant, but with that kind of logic the Baseball hall of fame would have to induct somebody from the groundscrew. Or in hockey it'd be the guy who paints the red line on the ice. At some point you have to draw the line. It's bad enough people like Trump and Pete Rose are getting in. Let's not water it down to the point where it has no meaning.

  159. He was a talented big man and, as the Rikishi character, he was crazy over for several years. If you add in his contributions as a member of the SST/Headshrinkers, his ridiculous but memorable "making a difference" and Sultan gimmicks, and the fact that his sons are current performers, his inclusion in the Hall makes perfect sense.

    I don't understand Mickie James going in. For me, Lita was borderline and I'd place Mickie's contributions to the business well below Lita's.

    I would pay to watch Rikishi give the stinkface to Mickie James.

  161. He'd be really good; maybe Onita for this year. Hopefully Rick Martel can go in also.

  162. I'll bet seeing Razor was inducted this year, Diesel will be going in the 2015 class.

    Maybe they should have had the HoF class half as big or do it every couple years because at the rate their going they'll be inducting Jacob for wrestling the angel in that bible story. by 2020

    A kayfabed hall of fame for a kayfabed "sport" is a dubious thing to begin with. I agree with you, it needs to be cut down to either fewer people each year, or have it every second or third year or something. When the # of wrestlers in the hall is larger than the number of wrestlers on the roster you have a problem.

  168. Actually, a jobber Hall of Fame would be awesome. You could start with Reno Riggins, Terry Gibbs, Iron Mike Sharpe, Cougar Jay, George South, Marion Mancini, Jake Milliman...

  174. People don't pay to hear Gene Okerlund to interview people backstage, but I think he deserves his spot - he was a big part of the show.

    The only way Medusa is getting in is if she has some sort of dirt on Vince she can use to hold him ransom. She didn't just burn her bridge, she nuked it.

  180. if Ric Flair can be inducted while still being part of TNA (he was at the point of the Horsemen introduction, wasn't he?) then it having a ROH contract shouldn't be any worry for the WWE at all.

  186. They are really going to be hurting for female wrestlers unless they go to Japan. I mean, there just aren't a lot to put in as far as being headliners for WWE, especially because they killed their own women's division for long stretches of time in the 1990s.

    That thought crossed my mind too, but Steve Corino isn't Ric Flair. Plus AFAIK he's never worked for WWE at any point. Then again, neither did Abdullah, and he's in.
