People don't seriously think he's ever getting in/deserves to get in, do they?

If Benoit didn't murder his family, he would be a lock for the Hall of Fame I think.
This is the year, brothers

The WWE Hall of Fame has no real "criteria" besides Vince/The McMahons liking you enough to induct you. It's completely arbitrary.
I think it's lower than that. Whoever is desperate enough to ink a PR deal with WWE.

It's not even that. Many see it as an honor. But they have to be asked for that honor first.
Not everyone is going to headline a hall of fame, but there will be plenty that go in who probably "shouldn't." But it's a completely arbitrary hall of fame with no criteria, so it doesn't matter.

CM Punk is at least getting the Savage treatment so considering that Savage left in 1994 and is getting inducted in 2015, we're talking at least 21 years.
And that may be kind. Triple H isn't as forgiving as Vince.

I like the way you think, he has his tied rumble elimination record with HBK now so he might as well enter the title match instead where his inability to ever pin John Cena successfully will be true odds to overcome.
If Koko B Ware and Drew Carey are WWE Hall of Famers that should tell you alone that the criteria for getting into the hall of fame is incredibly low. I wish the Hall of Fame was something they could reboot.
Yeah, what I kind of meant to say was that his body of work as wrestler would get him into the Hall of Fame. So I think he "deserves" to get in but he wont for obvious reasons.

That's a pretty big caveat, don't you think?

I don't think all of those California sweat hogs are ready.
If punk gets his ass kicked in UFC he will go in.
Hell HHH will just show that as his titan-tron.

Binging on Tough Enough until RAW!
Looked up John "Big" Gaburick and he's now employed by TNA. Just like Al Snow and Taz.

This is why we have the WON HOF and the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame.

And if he couldn't wrestle he would never get in.
But he did murder his family. So he won't ever get in.
Nor should he.

Perfect that they have Reigns for the reading challenge graphics, as he reminds me of those those kids in English class who couldn't read aloud.
I agree. I just meant that his wrestling body of work would be enough to get him in if he didn't do what he did. I don't think he deserves to get in, but at one point I would have said he was a Hall of Fame talent.

Hope dolph and ryback are getting paid for,that poster
If The Shield was still together all three of them could have the colored style uniforms that Roman has now. Each guy would have a different color. They could be the Power Rangers of wrestling.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I feel that all Jobbers for life deserve to go into the hall of fame. The top guys only get there by beating their opponents, and it's the jobbers that make it possible. They left their egos at the door, and should be rewarded for doing so.

They couldn't pick even one person for this reading challenge that is known for their promo work?

It makes them learn to read with their inside voice.
I ain't got no problem with it. Brooklyn Brawler and Barry Howrowitz should be in it. Koko B. ware already is.
I actually have zero problem with this. Jobbers were important as fuck to a lot of good wrestlers.

Pretty sure WWE has an unwritten rule of no more than 1 dead person in the HOF per year, but he should definitely be in.
It's too bad WWE doesn't have any respect for WCW whatsoever unless it's one of Hunter's/Vince's buddies when they look at the HoF.
Otherwsie we would have already had Vader, The Steiners, and Rude in.

No more than 1 dead person is going to be nullified because they're not going to induct Macho and not induct Liz. Also they inducted the Von Erich family.
no Zack Ryder is not getting inducted, nice try
if not, they can call Punk's lawyer
BECAUSE HE'S RETIRING
I don't understand what this gif is saying, friend.

It's the look of a man who just heard "Popcorn, Roman."
Their tag team selection in the HoF is very... surprising. No Murdoch/Rhodes, no Bockwinkel/Stevens

The fact that it's only voted on by previous inductees and wrestling historians gives it a far greater sense of prestige than that McMahon shit ever could.
