Of course, like WWE, it will lean more toward big names and getting people talking so I see Toby Keith, Chris Rock and Pacman going in before Jarrett.

Also, if they wanna make it legit (And by that I mean as legit as a Hall of Fame for a company that is 10 years old can be) then the first inductee should be Jerry Jarrett.

Jerry Jarrett would be a great choice, as he was the one that helped form the promotion alongside his son.

I guess if this makes the TNA brass feel special I'm ok with it. It's not like WWE have strict guidelines for their HOF, so to a degree I can't see why the concept is getting shit on so much. Hopefully it does recognise the talent that helped the organisation stay alive this long though, and they don't try to make it an annual event.

My problem is that holding themself only to WWE's standards of doing things isn't exactly going to be a step towards competing or anything. WWE has loads of history behind it and the prestige to encompass all of wrestling into it's HoF. So if TNA tries to do the same, it would be like the Arena Football League trying make it's own Hall of Fame and induct guys from the pro football history who paved the way for the NFL to thrive who in turn paved the way for the AFL to exist despite being sub-par. It would just be like "Umm... there's already a Hall of Fame that recognizes these guys. And your shitty company just doing the same doesn't mean anything."

If they DON'T go that direction and just do a TNA specific Hall of Fame... Well, that's fine. Going with one inductee a year for a while would probably be the best idea though. They've been around 10 years. They just don't have enough history. If they really try copying WWE and going with like 5 or 6 inductees a year early then Crimson ends up in the HoF in a few years and it becomes pretty pointless.

Part of why I can't take TNA seriously is because Dixie will go on Twitter and spoil everything the company does.

I'm not sure what the 'AFL' there is like compared to the 'NFL'. I know here that our two rugby codes have their own set ups, and one is a much bigger league than the other. Again, I'm not sure if they're trying to mirror WWE with this as such, I see it as them trying to promote themself as being prominent enough to be able to do it. Not saying I agree with it, and I think that it could be a very small HOF because I don't see them being around in 10 years time, but I think I can see why they'd do it.

The only one out of that list that I would even minutely consider would be Jerry Lynn, and as I said, minutely

TNA hall of fame is stupid, Christian being the first inducted would be idiotic of them to promote another shows superstar so highly unless he's gonna return. Double J has to be first inducted if any1. inducting AJ while he still is wrestling would just be dumber than them even beginning 1 in only 10 years. This whole thing is only to keep guys like Samoan Joe and AJ styles from thinking about going over to WWE for a shot at the Hall. Even though They'll deserve to go.

Sting should really go in before Christian as well.

And this is pretty much the reason that Christian is the first to go in.

It's a "bigger" deal to induct a guy who is contracted to the opposition than it is to induct an in-house guy.

Sting really should be the first into their Hall of Fame. Despite being in his 50s he still looks great and stay somewhat relevant. He started becoming stale, so he takes time off and comes back looking great at Bound for Glory 2006. He was getting stale again, so he becomes the "insane icon". He just continues to be one of their biggest draws, it makes perfect sense
