Aesop Poprock posted:How can he possibly believe this in a world where Bobby Heenan and Paul Heyman exist? Every time I've heard him make that point he makes it clear that he thinks Paul and Bobby were great, but he feels like if you're selling how it feels to be in the ring with a guy like Undertaker or talking about why you'd work a hold, you want a guy who has credibility in the ring. Basically the same reason you have ex-players doing colour for real sports. Like I said, I don't agree, but I get the point.

I want Samoa Joe in the HOF because he's my favorite wrestler. I personally don't care about facts, I just want my big video game lovin' submission machine to get recognition.

davey richards has been known to go to the homes of the families of people he services as an EMT and spend an entire day comforting them in the event that said servicee perishes, bookings be damned. if that's not worthy of the HOF then nothing is

And to be fair, both did their fair share of in-ring work, especially Bobby in the 70s before the neck injury. But most ex-athletes are garbage in the booth, especially in football. His point is kind of dumb.

If Davey has changed his ways then that's a different story otherwise the only time I'd vote for him is when I'd also vote for Roderick Strong and that's in a poll of who should be shot from a cannon into Satan's butthole

Thats true, but Chris Collinsworth and Phil Simms both suck. Gruden is decent. But I don't think it should be a requirement.

I find it a lot more fun to listen to a legitimate idiot saying incredibly dumb things rather than the human equivalent of a Rock-afire Explosion animatronic. But yeah Phil is dumber by a lot.
