Every woman from the 90s will go in strictly due to them needing 1 a year now.

Beth Phoenix was questionable imo

I would put in Victoria probably. The two most popular 90's ladies (who weren't Sunny) probably will never go in (Sable and Chyna).

Ivory was objectively more deserving than Beth (and I love Beth). Had a lengthy career in GLOW before coming to WWE and she also served as a trainer for quite a while.

If beth is a metric for entry then Ivory deserves in...problem is beth shouldnt have went in either

I wouldn't be opposed to them inducting Fink (if he's not in, I'm sure he has to be), Tony Chimel and Lillian Garcia.

Vickie G and Eric Bischoff both deserve a spot as well. I'm not really sure of any other females that are HOF worthy though (I'm sure they'll offer it to Torrie or Kelly Kelly at some point).

Yeah, Ivory isn't the craziest choice for a HoF spot... But the standards for women are just ridiculously low. We're gonna start getting random Godfather "lady friends" in soon enough.

Evil Vito
02-12-2018, 12:34 PM
Yeah, I didn't understand Beth's induction. Loved her and all but her run wasn't all that long and it was exclusively during a really weak point in women's wrestling.

I'll feel the same way when Michelle McCool goes in one of these years.

Future Hall of Famer

Ivory's in that group of performers where I didn't realize how good she was until I was older and started to really understand the business. The best heels in the business are the ones who can generate heat simply by telling the truth. Ivory told the truth in pretty much all of her promos during the Attitude Era, criticizing women for degrading themselves in bra and panties matches and the like. And she'd get booed out of the building as a result.

It sure worked on me, 10/11 year old me haaaaaaated Ivory.

From a monetary standpoint, I think HOFers all get Legends contracts if they didn't already have them, which means WWE can bring them in for nostalgia shows or get them booked for signings or whatever the fuck.

Really though it's just the WWE equivalent of giving an employee a golden watch as a thank you for their service.

Makes sense Ivory got the nod considering the only other notable female stars from the Attitude Era not in the Hall are Sable and Chyna. Maybe Molly Holly as well even though she arrived very late into the era.

They were already dealing with a very small pool to begin with considering WWE's history and have most of the big stars in their Hall for the pre-Divas era.

If they are legit about this women's revolution they should have gotten Gail or Kong. I know, I know, it's TNA but most credit this is where it began. Plus I think both are retired now.

Anytime they brought in Gail Kim, they would push her to a championship on her first night, and then promptly proceed to not use her, or load her in a multi-Diva tag match that had not rhyme or reason. And that short stint for Kong/Kharma got derailed with a pregnancy (and subsequent miscarrage). Neither woman really did anything of note in WWE, and since most of their accomplishments *was* in TNA, a place WWE is dead set on never acknowledging even existed, it is highly doubtful unless WWE ends up with their tape library and their so-called Hall of Fame.

Don't remember what year he went in but Fink is already in the HOF. Chimel and Lilian should go in to. Chimel should be inducted by Edge.

Or Bull Nakano. And I ain't saying that just because of Fignuts' avatar picture.

Also Luna. And Miss Elizabeth ain't in? Serously?

The Godfather.

Ernie Ladd, you could argue he should be in the hall of fame as the wwe hof represents all american wrestling now. But he was inducted in the 90's by the wwf when he had accomplished his stuff in other feds not the wwe.

Bad News Gertner
02-13-2018, 03:47 PM
Ernie Ladd was a huge draw and challenged Sammartino, Backlund and Morales for the title. He also had a big feud against Andre. Ladd had a great run in the company.

It's a fake Hall of Fame for a fake sport. The Godfather was a very over and fun character during the peak of the company. I have no issues with anybody in the Hall of Fame, because it's fake.

#1-norm-fan
02-13-2018, 05:32 PM
I think everyone agrees it's a bullshit HoF. When someone says that people "don't deserve" it, they tend to just be in the context of "if it were legit". The same way you argue someone DOES deserve it.

No one DESERVES to be in the Hall of Fame. It's just a trivial, bullshit hall of fame that doesn't signify anything really. If you think someone deserves to be in it, then you obviously have some merits you've judged the right to be inducted on and therefore there has to be people who DON'T deserve it by those merits.

Beth honestly deserves to go in based solely on keeping the spirit of womens wrestling alive in WWE amidst a cavalcade of model search divas that didnt give two shits and were just using it as stepping stone to become actresses or something.

Remember when they booked her to lose the belt to some no talent hack who I cant remember a day before she would break the record for longest reign in her home fucking town? Then they didn't use that heartbreaking loss in any meaningful way, but just threw her in the background so the new talentless ax wound champion could feud with a different talentless ax wound?

Christ. Poor girl. Deginitely earned that induction far as i'm concerned.
