Sting has been a borderline hallnof famer to me I keen towards the side of no
What? Eddie and Benoit had success all over the world so did Sting. Ddp only success was only in the WCW

Is the entire Dangerous Alliance in at this point?
Not yet. But Heyman will be in eventually, and Eaton could be in if they induct The Midnight Express in the future.
This is great! One of my favorite heels ever.
If Heyman doesn't get into the Hall of Fame before Vince dies, he isn't getting in. Stephanie hates him.
I honestly think Bret and Owen were the only two decent people to come from that family. The rest of that family sounds fucked up.

Where he was their #2 face during the biggest wrestling boom period and would have been even bigger if WCW wasn't such a fucked up company,
Also no shit DDP's success was limited to WCW he only started wrestling at age 35...for WCW And yet he still managed more world title wins than either Eddie or Benoit.
Eddie and Benoit were one time world champions in ONE company
DDP was a 3 time world champion in one of the two biggest companies in the world and the main antagonist of a 12.5 million dollar movie, a supporting character in a 19.5 million dollar movie, and involved in a major celebrity angle with Dennis Rodman, Hulk Hogan and Karl Malone
are you basing success off how many 5 snowflake matches they got or something?
According to Jonathan Coachman, Benoit called him a week before the murders saying he couldn't go to Coachman's wedding as he had family problems...

Like there's no debate about that Benoit will never and should never be in the Hall of Fame.
WWE would have absolutely been within their rights (morally) to completely cut every minute of his footage too.

Apparently Benoit was violent towards his wife throughout their marriage. Not as clear-cut as "he had a fucked up brain and went crazy outta nowhere".

And he was by all accounts one of the locker room bullies too, right up there with Holly and JBL.
2018 pls
Yeah, dude!
Since the Benoit tragedy I haven't watched a single match he is in.
I remember being literally traumatized by the whole thing. I didn't think it could affect me so much but I couldn't sleep for weeks. I was physically and mentally ill.
I know fucked up shit happens everyday but not all of it affects me.
Hell that was like the last real tribute show. Even that had an effect.

Yeah I never got those 'he was such a nice guy' stories. Sounded like a bit of an asshole.
How he killed his son messed me up the most.

I'll watch Benoit matches if I'm watching a full show. Never do I watch his individual matches. Which sucks because he has some great, great matches. Royal Rumble 2003 vs Kurt Angle is one of the most underrated matches ever.

I've seen stories with people talking about Benoit was 'off' years before he did what he did/was weird all along (I wanna say in one of Jericho's books, but it's been ages since I read that).

I haven't watched any of his matches either, I just feel uncomfortable. All I can think about is what he did.
Same with Angle, I wanted to watch some good Angle matches but so many involve Benoit.

You guys shouldn't take the WWE HOF seriously. It's a marketing gimmick to get money out of people mania weekend

Yeah, Regal's reaction was the most telling

Watched some of his 2001 matches with Austin? Great shit.
Benoit is bad for business.
DDP was a transitional Champion for all of his regins holding them for a few days hell his longest championship regin is 15 days and using WCW Tyler Rains as a reason for why someone should be a Hall of Famer is meaningless cuz like Jeff Jarrett is like a four-time champion. What does being involved in low budget movies have to do with being in the hall of Fame.

Yeah I have, good stuff. His match with HBK too is one of my all-time favourites.
I still watch his matches from time to time, but I'll always feel awkward to see anything Benoit related.
Gotta couple of babies on our hands here.
jkjkjk
But seriously, I've watched sooooo much Benoit over the last few years. Some of his WWE stuff weirds me out a bit. I'm at the PPV before the craziness goes down in my chrono-journey. I should probably watch the tribute RAW on YouTube (I'm assuming it's not on the Network... I hope it's not on the Network...).

How Meltzer didn't give this five stars I will never know. I thought it was five stars watching it live and every time since.
I did a research on the Benoit tragedy a few semester ago for psychology and basically watched his whole career and read a ton of stuff on him. It made me see how good he was but also made see how much of a monster he became in the last few days.
I couldn't watch him do the crossface.

Well it's all subjective, it's definitely a 5 star match to me and I only saw it for the first time like a year or two ago. Instantly loved it.

Steamboat's inducting Rude?
Would have preferred the Dangerous Alliance inducted him.
Meltz said top people in the wwf knew what happened too.
I guess they were afraid to tell Vince in case it turned out to be bad info? It's the only thing that makes sense to me.

I have no problem watching Benny's matches. The only thing that's eye opening is when you listen to commentary and some of these things they say about him.
Wonder how mad Vince was after. I mean he looked like a total fucking idiot. Guess you can't blame him for scrapping the whole history.

I need distraction.
I'm not even going to question this.
