I'd like to see Bob Backlund (who held the WWF title for 6 years) get inducted. I don't think Bruno Sammartino is in there yet. I don't know about Backlund but Sammartino apparently hates Vince and probably wouldn't show up if inducted. But they should definitely be in there before Koko!! I'd like to see Backlund (I think he would go!), Sammartino and Macho Man inducted. Then maybe Macho Man could induct Elizabeth the year after. I don't know if Honky Tonk Man or Million Dollar Man have been inducted, I don't think so, all these guys should've been in there before Koko along with a lot of the other guys you all have mentioned. Maybe Jack The Snake someday? Thanks for reading this.

: After reading Adams excellent article under
: Hitmans Icon, It does make you scratch your
: head about their voting process. To me it
: sounds like whoever Vince can think of and
: wants to promote at the moment who is on his
: good side. I Actually was surprised a few
: years back when Roddy Piper was inducted
: since they've had such a Love-Hate
: relationship, But there was really no way to
: leave him out career-wise or
: wrestlemania-wise.
: Like Adam mentioned, I also would like to
: see some Tag Teams inducted such as Legion
: of Doom, The British Bulldogs and the Hart
: Foundation (as a separate entity from Bret's
: solo career).
: I think Stables or Factions are too many.
: How do you induct the entire nWo over the
: years,
: and the 4 Horsemen had too many lineups and
: a few really weak members (Steve McMicheal
: & Paul Roma come to mind). Actually the
: nWo had it's fair share of weak members as
: well.
: They/Vince needs to think harder when
: filling out the years inductees. There are
: tons of deserving people, Way too many to
: list here.
: I'll be honest and say I don't know everyone
: that's got in but a couple I haven't heard
: that should be considered are former AWA
: Champ Rick "The Model" Martel
: & Don "The Rock" Muraco.
: Personally, I dont think "Guest
: Celebrities" have a place in the Hall
: of Fame except perhaps as honorable mention
: in a Group photo or online display.

: Bear, you make a GREAT point about a topic I
: covered last year! While Koko DOES belong
: as far as "memorable" and
: "fan favorite", as
: "wrestler" I don't think he does.
:
: To read my gripe about the WWE HOF, check
: the last column I wrote. Only thing is, I
: can't remember if it was in "Hitmans
: Icon" or "This N That". But
: whatever, I was griping about last year's
: HOF class, and how there was nobody that was
: really "great" or stood out as
: opposed to a Steve Austin or a Bret Hart or
: a Hogan or Savage or whoever.
:
: Thanks for the post!

: What's wrong with this picture -
: Ric Flair, Dusty Rhoades, Roddy Piper, Hulk
: Hogan, The Funks, Steve Austin,....Koko
: BeWare?????? WTF??
: Entertaining, sure for some, Wrestling
: Legend, You Gotta Be Kidding Me!! Probably a
: Nice Guy, But the Prestige for the Hall of
: Fame just took a nose dive for the rest of
: the guys that do belong there. I guess it
: was all those Title matches & Iron Man
: matches that did it for him.
: Did he even know more than 3-4 wrestling
: holds?
: TugBoat, Flash Funk, Skinner, Eugene,
: Outback Jack, Red Rooster, BoogeyMan, The
: Conquistadors & TL Hopper (So Many, So
: Many) are all excitedly waiting their turn
: now. Can't we have just a little
: credibility? It also doesn't bode well for
: those how are deserving, But haven't made it
: yet.
:
: Funny how Koko is also listed as one of the
: Worst Gimmicks in Wrestling (see link below)
