Doesn't seem like he belongs and its just WWE padding the celebrity wing to get views.
What has he done besides Taker's theme and a ppv song?

I wouldn't be surprised if one day the headline reads,

"WWE fan who got stuck in arena restroom during the WM X-7 main event announced for Hall of Fame"

I feel like this year's Mania song should immediately disqualify him from any and all Hall of Fames and/or accolades ever.

Unless he's nominated for "Most Likely to Make You Forget Flo-rida's Awful Themes"

Didn't his concert one year knock a tag title match off the card at WM because it ran long

Yeup. This was during the stretch of Manias with terrible timing problems.

Similar thing happened a few years later at Mania 29 with another tag match but it got completely bumped off the show instead of having the pre-show treatment.

Yeah. Original idea was for it to be the cool-down match after either the Taker-Punk match or the Lesnar-HHH match but got pulled due to timing issues. Bellas and Funkadactyls only found out right before they were supposed to go out that their match was pulled.

With the Kid Rock concert incident, WWE realized before the event there was going to be timing problems so the tag title match got dropped to dark or pre-show status.

I don't believe Kid Rock ever had a WM match canceled for going too long. He played the chicks down to the ring for the Woman's Battle Royal for Ms. WrestleMania. Maybe the match went a little less because of it but it was Divas era. So, big fucking deal.

Bellas match was cut JUST so they could have drama on Total Divas. It was bullshit. Punk and Taker had nothing to do with it.

Since he's going in they need to update the event list to let people know there will be chicken fights and trucker speed on tap.

You are correct. Andy pitched his idea to Vince Sr, who turned him down. If he pitched his idea to Jr., he would have likely gotten a more sympathetic ear.

And there are folks in the business today who don't understand the business like Andy did. Without Andy, we don't get Cyndi Lauper managing Richter. We don't get Bam Bam vs. LT (whether that's a bad thing is up for debate). We don't get any celebrity doing wrestling shit, for better or worse.

And Lawler doesn't become a household name for slapping him on Letterman.

Ehh, no. I may crank the radio up if bawitdaba, bull god, etc. come on. I don't boycott brands, actors, etc. just because I don't like a person's political belief. That's childish. His music sucks now, plain and simple.

btw, I voted Johnson/Bill Weld so stop with the Hillary shenanigans.

FWIW..Pretty childish to pose for the camera in front of a portrait of Hillary in the White House that was taken long before she was a Presidential candidate. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that it was that child rapist, Ted Nugent's idea. :lol: :p

After Picture he hasn't put out a studio album that I've liked all the way through. Has some good jams on later albums but nothing like Devil Without a Cause and Cocky.

C'mon i'm no Kid Rock fan but he's been involved with wwe for around 20 years, performed many times, did 2 wrestlers themes, 2 themes for mania, gave the right for a couple songs to be used in promo videos, and unlike many other celebrities he is a wrestling fan and love being involved so yes I think he deserve the spot !! Sure many peoples deserve to be in but if they get everybody in the same year who would they put in the year after ??

As evil as this post is, I will have to agree with this. All jokes aside, Kid Rock deserves to be in the WWE Hall of Fame for his numerous contributions over the years.

Eh, the WWE Hall of Fame is essentially the Wrestling Hall of Fame. They'd include a Memphis angle if they felt inclined.

But the whole point of the Celebrity Wing is to grab mainstream attention for WWE. Tough to do that when the celebrity is dead and won't be able to make an appearance.
