Kenny's still in his prime and has years ahead of him, CIMA blazed the trail that Kenny and Okada both followed as well all of Dragon Gate being a thing from not existing at the start of the 21st century to the second biggest wrestling promotion in Japan with a lot of that with CIMA as their ace. He just doesn't get the respect he deserves by voters, and hell just last year he had an awesome match with Kenny that stole the show at Fight for the Fallen. He's 42 and debuted in 1997 so we still have CIMA's Minoru years to look forward to but still.

A bit shocked Kenny made it in as I thought he'd have to wait till he was on the US ballot but a good class. Get used to lack of US names until we see the Bucks/AEW guys on the ballot due to WWE parity booking

From the WWE era 2010-2020 the only name who seems likely/possible to even make it in anymore is Moxley and he had to leave to do that. Cody too I guess who if AEW takes off given his role as one of its founders (beyond wrestling I mean if AEW become a cultural touchstone in its own right) which, fair.

Cody is 100% getting in even if AEW doesn't last just due to All in and actually beating Vince at times, and the fact AEW looks like it'll last means he's gonna be first ballot

Bucks have a better case than Cody due to winning best tag team so many times.

Anyway new names going on the ballot next year are : quote:Nikki Bella, Dorrell Dixon, Bill Dundee, Seth Rollins, Kazuchika Okada, Jon Moxley, Hollywood Blonds (Buddy Roberts & Jerry Brown), Octagon, AAA La Parka, Psycho Clown Okada is no doubt first ballot. Psycho Clown should go in but I'm not sure he'll make it in first ballot. Moxley is the same but if he stays at the current level I could see him going in first ballot. The original Hollywood Blondes are interesting as I've heard Dave and Mike Tenay talk them up as being on the big tag teams of the 60's/70's. Everyone else is lol and I'm hoping Seth doesn't crack 10%

I tweeted this, too, but: While I don't foresee voting for her or that she'll even get enough wider support to stay on the ballot, Nikki Bella being added is perfectly reasonable to me. People underestimate just how much she and Total Divas have meant to WWE's increasing female audience.

Yeah, when I saw her name as being added to the ballot I went "okay yeah, that makes sense, interesting if she's the last wwf name for a while"

Nikki was a much better wrestler and promo by the point they were doing singles matches.
