I can understand why people would raise an eyebrow at The Godfather going in, but when you think about the normal breakdown of a HOF class now it makes sense. You're going to have your headliner, a female inductee, a tag team, a celebrity, and, more recently, a foreign inductee. They seem to want to put in 7 or 8 inductees a year, so they'll still need some names to fill out the "undercard" portion of the ceremony. You could do maybe a co-headliner of some sort but even still you're left with spots to fill and those spots are likely to go to guys who were in the company for a very long time.
