DC 536 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 (edited) Have any of you been to WWE.COM recently? There is a link to a poll for the next inductees to the HOF. It's not the final list, but there are some great names on there: Iron Shiek Backlund Sreamboat DiBiase Samartino Road Warriors Rick Rude Paul Orndorff Bret Hart British Bulldog Wendy Richter Terry Funk Yokozuna Gordon Solie Honky Jimmy Hart Dusty Rhodes Curt Henning Owen Hart Roddy Piper Hogan Cowboy Orton King Kong Bundy Barry Windham I would vote for Rude, Henning, Hart (all three), Piper, Hogan, Terry Funk, Bruno and DiBiase. What about the rest of you? Edited December 14, 2004 by DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch 204 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I voted Hogan a true legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HH-Evolution Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 As much I hate to say it, Hogan at LEAST does have his place ready made already...:P The rest, meh...I came into the Wrestling community in 2000, and have no actual prior idea as to most of those people besides what I read here and there...so I'm not up to par with my pre-1998 Knowledge, heh heh. *Sheepish* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Beltster Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Hogan. Nobody in wrestling, let alone that list, has done more for wrestling or WWE in general than him. Love him or hate him, everybody should vote Hogan is their being honest with themselves. By all rights, he should have been the very first inductee.

Guest HH-Evolution Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I think it's been done chronologically...thus Hogan wouldn't be the first inductee - he IS a deserving one, but I guess it just wasn't time last year for 'em to do it.

Paul 584 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Yeah, I agree with you Beltmark. Would love to see Davey in there too though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brad Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Well I can't stand Hogan. All Hogan has done is ruin people's career. I would love to see owen and bret hart and the british bulldog up there mostly because they have done a lot for the buisness and have gone through the most in the buisness. But I think all of them deserve to be in there and I am very surprised that some of them names aren't already in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC 536 Posted December 14, 2004 Author Share Posted December 14, 2004 (edited) All Hogan has done is ruin people's career. I don't even know where to begin with this. I'm sure Hogan hasn't helped people in the past, but to say he has done nothing is crap. He put over The Warrior, to pass the torch, and the Warrior couldn't do it, so Hogan came back. He put over Yokozuna as he left the company in '93, something any star leaving the company should do. (See also Raven/Tommy Dreamer in ECW). He helped make Brock and Kurt Angle legit superstars by tapping out clean to both of them. He DID revolutionise the business from '83 onwards. And he put over the Rock in arguably the biggest WM match ever. I'm sure others can come up with more reasons for Hogan. . I would love to see owen and bret hart and the british bulldog up there mostly because they have done a lot for the buisness and have gone through the most in the buisness. How can you even say that with a straight face. One look at the Chris Benoit/Eddie Guerrero DVD's show that as wrong. Yeah, Bret and his family have went through a lot of personal problems away from the ring, but to say they have went through the most is plain wrong. Ric Flair: Broken back in an air crash, before he had really much in the sport. Ernie Ladd: First coloured guy to really play the heel. Charlie Hass: Lost his brother just as they were about to make it. William Regal: Almost finished as a worker, but pulled it altogether spectacularly at the Brian Puillman Memorial. Brian Pillman: Car crash that almost ended his career. Turned his character into one of the greatest ever. Totally unpredictable. The one I voted for at WWE.COM was Hogan, the rest are the one's I'd like to see inducted too. lol HDC. Edited December 14, 2004 by DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Telf Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 If you ask anyone who's not into wrestling, what the first name comes into their mind when you mention pro-wrestling - it has to be Hogan He DID, along with McMahon, revolutionise the business into sports entertainment and therefore was my pick into the hall of fame (the fact he's not in there already baffles me, espcially when you've got someone like Pete Rose in there, WTF!) I'd like to see Bret and Davey Boy added too :worship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Franchise Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Hulk Hogan should be the No.1 choice for the Hall of Fame 2005.No its,ands,or buts. Have any of you been to WWE.COM recently? There is a link to a poll for the next inductees to the HOF. It's not the final list, but there are some great names on there: Iron Shiek Backlund Sreamboat DiBiase Samartino Road Warriors Rick Rude Paul Orndorff Bret Hart British Bulldog Wendy Richter Terry Funk Yokozuna Gordon Solie Honky Jimmy Hart Dusty Rhodes Curt Henning Owen Hart Roddy Piper Hogan Cowboy Orton King Kong Bundy Barry Windham I would vote for Rude, Henning, Hart (all three), Piper, Hogan, Terry Funk, Bruno and DiBiase. What about the rest of you? Hogan was the WWE flagship for so many years he basically carried the WWE on his back for well over a decade.Plus just two years ago he won the WWE title again and wom the WWE tag team titles with Edge.His presence alone made the WWE a household name back in the 80's.And kept it going all the way to the early 90's.Hogan definately should be the first inductee for 2005. :worship (Thats if Vince doesnt be an A--hole and look the other way) :evil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anime Otaku Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 i would probably go for one of the Bret Hart as i started getting into wrestling first time around as he was at his peak in the company and also fueded with Owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brad Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I agree with that, I am not saying he didn't do anything for the buisness because he showed great leadership skills. But all I am saying is I am annoyed at the fact that Bret and Shawn also helped the WWE gain image in the 90's and they could actually wrestle whereas Hogan can't and neva could wrestle, body slams back body drops and leg drops were the only moves he ever done. He was just given a push when there was no1 better but they carried on pushing him, the only thing that has been consistant throughout his career is his promos, but I am very surprised that he hasn't won it yet and i would see him getting it 1st but i just don't like the way he is remembered more than the other legends. He is the only legend that can't wrestle. Rock aint a legend yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC 536 Posted December 14, 2004 Author Share Posted December 14, 2004 whereas Hogan can't and neva could wrestle Again this is, IMAO, totally not true. Hogan didn't wrestle much in the U.S> cos nobody paid to watch Hogan wrestle in the U.S. Watch some of his matches in Japan circa '80's and see that Hogan could wrestle if he wanted to. Not a Benoit in the ring by no means, but a solid enough amount of wrestling holds and manouvers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brad Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 But in the 1980's, He was good because there wasn't a big standard to follow because there were no shawn's, bret's, macho man's, even flair never met hogan in the 80's. Hogan went to Japan where the japanese superstars probably made him work the match, I just can't ever see Hogan in the past as being good enough to have titles. I think it was Hogan's ego, promo's and personality that got him to the top, and then popularity. If the WWF was just about wrestling then Bret should of been up there from the start because Bret has always wrestled better than Hogan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
