Continuing from b2 or b3 irregardless of what Randy Savage may or may have not done he deserves to bein the HOF

Posted by eag (aka eag) Jan 14 '14, 09:48

Now Benoit is another story and if he never even gets recognized again in the WWE that's understandable.

Responses:

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
I'm waiting to see if he was the pitcher or catcher -- nm - con_carne Jan 14, 09:50 1
- *snort* so funny cause its a valid question -- nm - Epiphany Jan 14, 09:58
