Like I said the other day, they better hide this picture or Joe will really come an Uso.

Vince probably has some world class extensive ancestry dna going on right now to really determine if they're related or not. That way he'll know whether to push him to the moon or destroy the destroyer.

But what about when they threw the title at Benoit to keep him from leaving because Sullivan had the pencil and then he left anyway? That was definitely a HOF moment of Benoit in WCW.
Amazing picture.
ROH in 2003 saved my love of pro wrestling and it was thanks to Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Low Ki and Homicide.
Always makes me happy to see any of them do well.

If it wasn't for Flair Sting would be remembered as The Ultimate Warrior's old tag team partner.
Eddie and Benoit had success all over the world while DDP didn't and Benoit is probably one of greatest in ring talent that has ever been the in the ring and Benoit main evented mania which is more than anything that sting or DPP did.
Here my thing about any Hall of Fame. Is that I don't look at character or the person history when it comes to that cause if I did then a lot of people wouldn't be in Hall of Fame.
2018 pls
If it wasn't for Buddy Rogers, Flair wouldn't be remembered at all. Is what it is.

See, here's where I potentially cut people off. I don't think Luger is a Hall of Famer. Most of his career he was a vacuum of personality, he was limited in the ring, his mic work wasn't that great, and his WWE run sucked. He did have a little run of brilliance in WCW though.
Plus, isn't he mostly responsible for Miss Elizabeth's death?

DDP is honestly one of wrestling's coolest stories...
A manager who became a wrestler at a relatively old age going on to become literally their second biggest baby face against the nWo, being the first guy to actually do damage to them and then becoming a world champion (and then multiple time) for the first time in his 40s.
He also won every title there was to win in his weight class in WCW becoming on their 4th Triple Crown...
All starting at the age of 35.

This will always be hilariousBack in the day the "Vacant" wrestler in WWE games had a name
I've began watching the 1992 G1 Climax, it's WCW vs NJPW for the vacant NWA World Heavyweight Title. The matches that feature WCW vs WCW guys are so weird, they don't wrestle like they are trying to win they wrestle like they are trying to elicate a typical face/heel reaction and are genuinely struggling to adapt.
Rude is over though and the Japanese crowd love his intro routine.

Did you see Rude's tights with the geisha on his crotch? Great heel heat

Scott Steiner will never be in the HoF until after he dies.

I like to draw the line at murdered his wife and kids....
DDP and Sting has more success in WCW than Benoit and Geurrero had in WWE and WCW combined.

Sting shouldn't be in the HOF but Benoit should be is one of the worst hot takes I've heard in a long time

tbh I wasn't even that big of a fan of DDP at his height, but he was one of the top guys in the sport during the most popular era in wrestling history. He's a no brainer Hall of Famer.

I'm not defending his actions, but wasn't there a medical study that his brain was just gone? Part of me feels like WWE doesn't acknolwedge more because they don't want to be tied to brain injuries.

If it wasn't for Abe Lincoln there would never be THIS BUSINESS.
Yeah, from what I remember Benoit's autopsy basically said he had the brain of a 70 year old dementia patient. I feel like calling Benoit a murder isn't entirely fair, what he did was awful but he was a victim of mental health problems. He wasn't right in the head at all when that went down. WWE would probably prefer you to remember him purely as a murderer because it gets them off the hook a little.
Ok, good point
Colon murdered children? I suppose there are boundaries or none. So if there are none, yeah sure. What could go wrong.
How much of a bummer is it that they couldn't get Rick to induct Curt and they can't get Curt to induct Rick?
Abe using a hat to conceal that he was a vanilla midget. SMH.

Wasn't there evidence that it was premeditated?
Was there? If there was then I stand completely corrected

I believe it's possible he killed Nancy in a rage but he waited an entire day before killing his son so he likely like planned that one yeah.

He could work though. He could even shoot.
John Wilkes Booth is a jabroni mark who worked himself into a shoot though.

I think in the TIj episode with Nancy's sister or maybe before I think Doctors were like, he didn't have much time left. Of course Doctors are always wrong but I think it was something like 2 years maybe. It's crazy how everything happened.
So messed up.

It's disgusting that Smith Hart was going to put him untrained in a match just to sell tickets.
Bret has some fucked up shitty family members.

Benoit shouldn't be in the hall of fame. He's a murderer plain and simple. You can say he didn't mean it or talk about his mental health, but he killed two people, and knew what he did was terrible so he took his own life. Great pro wrestler, but a pretty shitty person.
