        this, some go just to see the trailers if a new big movie's one is attached -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:32 1

  - ummm...they can't play if their coach doesn't put them in. -- nm - znufrii Jan 14, 10:14 8
    - Ah..so it's all on the coaches now? -- nm - Jim Jan 14, 10:16 7
      - If they're the ones abetting the circumvetion of protocols that the league has put in place to protect the players, then yeah it's on them. -- nm - znufrii Jan 14, 10:19
      - At some point a player has to be held responsible for his own actions - Jim Jan 14, 10:19 5

        No, the issue is payments and the pool of money available . "She says she is mostly concerned that not all retired players who are someday diagnosed - mara Jan 14, 10:29 2
        
        no, I was after znu not her ruling :) If players can't make a decision on whether to play or not who can really tell if they are injured? -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:31 1

Continuing from b2 or b3 irregardless of what Randy Savage may or may have not done he deserves to bein the HOF - eag Jan 14, 09:48 55
- Have they inducted "The Four Horsemen" as group or anything? Cause he would get lumped in with that if so - Beaker Jan 14, 10:09
- More than anything, that rumor shines a light on how creepy the relationship has always always been between Vince and Stephanie. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:07
- agreed on both counts ... I used to HATE Savage w/ a passion back in the day, but mostly because he was such a great heel ... - i'm not dead yet ! Jan 14, 09:52
- I don't think Benoit ever gets in (and shouldn't) but I am glad they are opening up his old matches for viewing though - Beaker Jan 14, 09:51 49
  - I was just thinking how they were gonna do that on the network - eag Jan 14, 09:53 2
    - They've said in press for the Network that they will not excise his history in the WWE.... - Remlik Jan 14, 09:55
    - I see no reason to try to wipe him from existance. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 09:53
  - no, he never truly ever hit superstar level IMO. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 09:52 45
    - He was a WCW *and* WWF champion and the best wrestler in the world. He was a slam dunk. - David Jan 14, 10:07 26
      - in those years, championships changed hands every month. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 10:08 25
        
        He would have been the WCW champion for a long time if he had stayed. It was a CM Punk situation. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:18 22
        
        I put Beniot and Luger is a very similar status. - groiny Jan 14, 10:22 3
        
        I am with you on Luger. Zero mic skills. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 10:31
        
        Benoit had that one thing that no guy has now and likely never will again... - Mel Profit Jan 14, 10:26 1
        
        right, his ring abilities were top notch. I certainly do not dispute that. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 10:28
        
        I am not so sure. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 10:20 16
        
        There's no denying it. They made him champion to try to get him to stay. - David Jan 14, 10:23 15
        
        Perry Saturn was the 4th -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:26 4
        
        didn't the WWE do a huge Jericho puch shortly before that? - groiny Jan 14, 10:27 3
        
        Actually --- Jericho debuted in July/August 99....the Benoit 4 jumped in Jan/Feb 2000... - Will Hunting Jan 14, 10:34 1
        
        well, Jericho was a better ring presence than Benoit, so there is that. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 10:35
        
        yeah at least a year before that. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 10:30
        
        and why did he walk out then? - groiny Jan 14, 10:24 9
        
        Do you not remember this at all? He felt Bischoff had mistreated him for years. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:26 8
        
        so, he was underused for years in the WCW..... - groiny Jan 14, 10:27 4
        
        How many guys are immediately given a heel faction and a title run when they join a new company? - David Jan 14, 10:30 3
        
        and keep in mind, I was a big fan of Benoit. - groiny Jan 14, 10:34
        
        where are all the Benoit T-Shirts? - groiny Jan 14, 10:33 1
        
        WCW was near death when he left. They were about 13months from being bought out. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 10:35
        
        (And Chris Sullivan, the ex of his girlfriend, was the WCW booker at the time) -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:27 2
        
        and they haaaaaaaated each other -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:28 1
        
        (the guy who writes wrestling stuff for Grantland posted some from his book on this subject recently) -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:29
        
        David Arquette was the WCW champion at one point. I think that pretty well negates that as a HOF qualifier, yes? -- nm - Jim Jan 14, 10:20
        
        don't blame the wrestlers for WCW's stupidity -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jan 14, 10:16 1
        
        you have to, if you are using championships as a guage. - groiny Jan 14, 10:19
    - i have to diagree here ... he busted his ass for years before getting the recognition and title stuff that he deserved ... - i'm not dead yet ! Jan 14, 09:54 7
      - You're over-stating his career / impact. - Will Hunting Jan 14, 10:01 4
        
        Randy Orton's personality isnt really much better than Benoit's - eag Jan 14, 10:03 3
        
        Orton's personality sucks, but he's tall, built and reasonably handsome.... - Will Hunting Jan 14, 10:04 2
        
        Plus, the RKO rules. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 10:12
        
        *poops in your luggage* -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:05
      - there are a ton of wrestlers who were great in the ring, but to be superstar level, they have to do more than that. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 09:56
      - he was definately a gatekeeper....he was the guy if you could have a great match with you got pushed to the A level.. - Remlik Jan 14, 09:56
    - I think had he not gone postal on his family he would have gotten in -- nm - eag Jan 14, 09:53 9
      - Koko B Ware is in the WWE Hall of Fame. Let's not treat it as anything approaching legitimate. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 10:02 5
        
        And sadly The Bushwackers are not in -- nm - eag Jan 14, 10:06 1
        
        if Luke and Butch get in I hope it is as The Sheepherders -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:08
        
        did the parrot get in to? -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:03 2
        
        Frankie went in before Koko. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 10:03 1
        
        heh awesome -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:05
      - his ring skills were fantastic, his mic skills were not. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 09:54 2
        
        agree. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 09:56
        
        Agree -- nm - eag Jan 14, 09:55

- oh yea, for CBS, thats reallly low for Intelligence. nm - Jovian Jan 14, 10:06 3
  - I do not understand why they premiere the show on one night, when it's slated to be on a different night for the rest of the episodes. - Jim Jan 14, 10:17 1
    - it looks like they wanted it to compete directly for the Blacklist/Castle audiences, but it doesn't have a chance. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 10:21
  - aw, I didn't even try it. Had high hopes. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 10:14
