Shawn had hoped to get a chance to talk to Bret to apologize and hopefully clear the air even a little bit between them. Bret said if he saw Shawn at all that weekend, he'd skip the induction, and if he saw Shawn during the induction he'd walk off the stage. Shawn told Vince that if that was the case, he was fine just leaving the room during the induction before Bret's.

Jesus Christ. gently caress Bret, seriously.

If he hadn't Foley'd from the rafters in 1999 his career accomplishments would have been: famous brother, some good matches, the white guy in NOD.

While I agree that he probably doesn't really deserve to be in the HoF (unless, perhaps, he went in alongside Bret), I really think with his solid style, clean cut looks and reputation for being much-loved backstage, he'd probably have been Cena without the rap gimmick.

I think that if Owen Hart goes in he'll just be, along with Stu, the focal point of inducting "The Hart Family" in the same way all of the Von Erichs went in at the same time (at least I think they did it that way.) Then they'll probably have either Bret, or some other close relation, induct the family followed by any member of that family who still talks to each other/the WWE on stage.

It's not like it was a smart gimmick at the time. Owen became the Blue Blazer again because he didn't feel like having a spousal abuse/penis chopping storyline like everyone else in the midcard in 1999. He died doing a Vince Russo angle. I don't think there's a sadder way of dying.

I SEE DEMONS
To be fair, the Blue Blazer angle was awesome at the time. So quit crying about how Owen did nothing. Owen was a high mid carder for most of his time in WWE. The LOWEST he got was when Shawn didn't want to work with him after the Bret screwjob, and Owen was hot as gently caress during that period. The crowd reaction to him beating on Shawn after the IYH:DX ppv was insane.

I also agree with Bret to an extent. So Shawn found god is now a better person, that's great and all for him, but he was still a loving cocksucker when he dealt with Bret. Bret should have at least heard him out, but Shawn can't be completely forgiven for being a loving douche.

I dunno, the longer Kurt is gone from the WWE the more remorseful and humble he is about his shortcomings there.

However, with Bret Hart, at this point he singularly carried the WWE in the 90's and once slapped Jesus unconscious with his dick.

Arn, Barry, Tully & JJ would probably have a good shot going in as the 4 Horseman, not individually.

Jake won't go in until he is sober or dead.

Stu could go in with "The Hart Family" and could include Owen.

The tag team wing of the Hall of Fame is rather weak right now, but the ones you named would definitely have a spot for them.

Bret is just overstating his accomplishments like every other retired wrestler, but Kurt has gone irredeemably crazy.

What's overlooked with Bret is how amazing the WWE video editing guys are, as they made him look and sound humble throughout his entire DVD set.

Bret is a big baby, but I'll cut him a little slack because his stroke probably affected his brain and thereby his perception of things.

Aren't there rumblings that Wrestlemania might be going back to Toronto in a couple years? If so, perfect time to induct Trish.

How about Yokozuna? Would he at all be considered HOF material or was he just a guy who dominated for a year or two, jumped ship, then ballooned up and died?

How did he jump ship? It was more like he ballooned up to the size of a ship.

I always thought this, and would bring this up in defense of Bret whenever he did/said something stupid. But then I watched Wrestling with Shadows, and he was pretty much the same guy then, with the same delusions, as he is today.

I'd say so, she was the first Diva. Missy Hyatt comes close, but she was an NWA manager and lasted days in the WWF.

Trish says no to things she thinks are stupid. Kind of a crapshoot whether Vince would find that a negative or a challenge.

Yoko never jumped ship. WWE tried to help him lose weight but Yoko couldn't stick with it and wasn't being licensed in states due to his health. They didn't want to cut him but they had no choice. He then spend the rest of his life getting fatter and wrestling in indies.

I'm pretty sure Yoko will get in. He and Taker were close, and I can just see Taker going up to Vince and saying "Yoko, Hall of Fame", and just walking off.

If they get serious on inducting tag teams, obviously the Road Warriors have to go in. So would the RNRs and the Midnights, I'd have to say. What about the Dudleys, though? I know they've been in TNA for a few years now, but I was under the impression they left WWE on relatively good terms, and you can't argue with how much they accomplished as a team?

The Dudleys got pissed once they found out they didn't own those names. Then they went and shitted all over the WWE any chance they got.
