Jericho had a habit of chewing gum during his promos, which didn't help their overall shittyness.

There's no need to insult actor John Bradley, who's taking a break from Game of Thrones to excite the WWE Universe, MAGGLE.

So if Kalisto wins the tournament and becomes WWE Champion is John Cena gonna come out from the back and tell him his win means nothing unless he defends against him immediately?

It's so sad that I picture Hogan doing the exact same thing back in his day.

Unless his group is all Japanese and territory guys even older than him, it's pretty unavoidable.

Who's even left to induct at this point?
NWO - Hogan renders that unlikely for now.
Evolution - The backlash would be harsh.
Triple H - Same
Vincent K. McMahon - Doesn't want to be inducted.
The Rock - Probably busy this WrestleMania season
Rey Mysterio - Isn't bigger than Sting
The Undertaker - Would be bigger than Sting, but does he want to be inducted this year?
Lou Thesz - Would be the classical pick, but wouldn't be bigger than Sting to the WWE's current audience.
Kurt Angle - Stuck in the badlands.
The Fabulous Freebirds - Wouldn't be bigger than Sting
Owen Hart - Wouldn't be bigger than Sting
Rick Rude - Wouldn't be bigger than Sting
Paul Heyman - Still active, also wouldn't be bigger than Sting

To the nerds who care about WWE Hall of Fame inductions (i.e., us), isn't Sting bigger than Mysterio?

Rey is a decorated and celebrated international star with several championship wins under his belt. Sting is an old man with Crow facepaint in 2015 who came to the WWE after a decade of non-activity to lose twice. You tell me!
Rey Mysterio helped bring in cruiserweights to mainstream wrestling. Rey is Godly in Mexico and in Japan as well as the States. He helped usher in what is the modern equivalent of wrestling with guys like Psicosis, Ultimo Dragon and the likes.
Sting is just a heavyweight Hogan knockoff who screamed real loud and played a shitty mute that couldn't cut a promo as anything other than being a loud Hogan knockoff.
Smarks and marks both should recognize that Mysterio is thrice over more important to pro wrestling than Sting has ever been. Even if his last WWE run made you hate him.

Macho Man(kayfabe 93 Raw commentart) calls Jerry The King Lawler a legend in his own mind but at the end of the day The King is probably a bigger legend than Macho Man.
The great thing about Hogan being out of the HoF is it opens up possibilities
So, basically induct trash?

If that kind of logic prevailed, Danielson and CIMA would be in the WON HOF. Instead, they'll point to how Rey was a terrible draw as the WWE champ.

Scott Steiner's HOF speech would be legendary, which is why it will never happen. Hunter is too shook for that.

The shots taken at Hogan would draw show much. I would bring the damn vhs tape out just to record it.
I mean fuck, I bet they expected the worst from Warrior but it was really good.

Rey Mysterio actually won the WWE Championship (for 20 mins but he still got it). Somebody post the Mysterio champagne celebration gif

How appropriate that we talk about Rey Jr.'s WWE HOF prospects for this WM in Nashvember.
I'd induct Rey Jr. in a minute, but there's no way Vince and company or most fans would consider Rey Jr. to be bigger than Sting because they only care about how he drew on top, not all of the valid points that Data raised.
WWE woudl rather try to mend bridges with Rey right now than give a shit about Sting.
Rey is still a cash cow if they can get back into a working relationship with him. Sting is not.

The best part of Billy & Chuck is that they never really...acted gay. Like they never touched each other beyond like typical tag team stuff and Rico was way more gay than either one of them. And they worked everyone so good, they were getting spots on Good Morning America and gifts from GLAAD. lol

2 weeks of Raw and I've yet to see Bret, Yoko, nor Hogan. This is hilarious because of how different it is now.
It was one of those things when I went to revisit that era of Smackdown where I was like 'oh I can't wait to see what older me thinks about this and how offensive this will be' because younger me liked Billy and Chuck
turns out they were fine. The worst thing they did really was the week after the wedding angle they had them judge a bikini contest. 'They are most definitely not gay!'

Kinda old but yeah Hunter and HBK didn't like The Rock. Hunter didn't like Rock because he got a push after being in the league for 2 years while Hunter was still serving time for MSG. You remember that promo wheb it was Corporate and The Rock was saying the phrases of (Hogan, Bret, Macho,) Hunter went off the script stating "Like yours is any better."(hilarious that Hunter didn't have a catchphrase other than" Suck it") basically Rocky never cared for the off script ribs. That's when he went back and made that comment about him saying things that weren't written. After that, it was on.
Hunter didn't like anyone that was in the main event spot other than him and his boys(now hand picked boys as he doesn't/didn't care for Bryan, Miz, Punk, Edge, Jericho, RVD and a few more that Vince picked).
Honestly the whole thing with Hunter is wrong. Talent who can get over and deserved the spot light never got it because of the pull he had backstage. I believe we were screwed out of many interesting moments because of that.

Me and my partner Bart will be riding tall in the saddle, yeee hooo!
Now I see why they decided to make Billy that way.

This is hilarious, the crowd is chanting Shawn is Gay and he's still killing it on the microphone. Your baby wrestlers today wouldn't even be able to stay on subject or keep consistency if the same happened to them.
I've been pretty disappointed to find that I absolutely hate Shawn Michaels on the mic. What an insufferable douche. I liked him as a kid.
Oh, but yeah, '90s crowds are brutal with their homophobia, etc. I just watched Alex Wright vs. Disco Inferno, so I'm an expert on this particular matter.
