Oh god having just Vince inducted followed by a massive roast would be spectacular.

Especially when they bring in some surprise guests to roast him such as:

and Shane Douglas who will yell obscenities while working as a waiter during ceremony.

And he will waiter it marvellously because he's the F'N Franchise!

"You've always ranted to roast me, big boy"

Tell me who Mil Mascaras was and then tell me why I would have to hear that name to comment on the WWE Hall of Fame plz

Mil Mascaras is arguably the greatest star in the history of Mexico behind only El Santo, and he also competed around the world in AJPW, he was the first masked wrestler to compete in Madison Square Garden, wrestled in Puerto Rico, WCW, etc. He isn't some random internet darling chosen from a "Best of Mexico" trade tape.

Plus he was in the Royal Rumble in 97 I believe?

Could have been 96

97, with a bunch of other no namers.

If Harlem Heat goes in ... does that mean that Tony "Big T" Norris gets a ring as well?

Tazz Dan and SNL Funny Guy are correct. Mil eliminated himself by diving off the top rope to the floor, thereby contributing with Ahmed Johnson and Faarooq to a record of three self-eliminations in one Rumble match!

Ok, so has Mil Mascaras wrestled for the WWE, other than a self-elimination in a Rumble match?

And do you think Mil would be in the HOF if ADR weren't working for the company?

And do you think the Nasty Boys should stand shoulder to shoulder with Steve Austin in the hall of fame?

What about Ric Flair? Shawn Michaels?

Who the fuck is Mil Mascaras? Really. No one's even heard of this guy. No one even knew Mil was a name.

Which of the following wrestlers does not belong?

a. Andre the Giant
b. Hulk Hogan
C. MIL MASCARAS
d. None of the above

You are correct about Mil Mascaras never wrestling for WWE outside that one Rumble stint. I personally believe he belongs in the AAA and/or CMLL Hall of Fame and not in the WWE HOF, but with the induction of Abdullah the Butcher, it appears WWE will continue to induct those ill-known within the WWE fan base but having a cult following outside.

I expect WWE would induct Hiro Matsuda if its Asian American audience was as large as its Spanish American audience. Heck, someday they might induct Steve Corino, Generico, or Kevin Steen if they amass enough following outside WWE. I don't agree with the practice, but WWE sees the HOF as a marketing gimmick and will try to win crossover fans like they have tried with celebrity inductions.

If that is the standard for getting in the Hall of Fame, there would only be 5 guys in the fucking thing.

Did gorgeous George wrestle for the WWE? Or the WWWF or whatever it was known as back then? Kinda hope not because I want to hear Rock Bottom explain why he shouldn't be in the HOF too. It's not an exclusively WWE HOF anymore, hasn't been for a while.

I'd prefer a much smaller Hall of Fame to a political circle jerk.

You hope Goregous George wasn't associated with the WWE so that you could hear me explain why he shouldn't be in the hall of fame, and yet, I never said he didn't deserve it. I suppose you could throw another handful of wild names in an attempt to explain who the fuck Mil Mascaras is and what he did for the business.

You're comparing another huge name to "Mil Mascaras," who was a big star in a completely different country.

Gorgeous George wasn't inducted to jerk Alberto Del Rio off, or to show up in Mexico and tour like they give a shit about Mexico.

Anyone have a back story on the Nasty Boys and their hall of fame worthy jobs to the Steiner Bros?

Mil Mascaras was also a huge draw in LA and surrounding regions and would have went in eventually regardless of Del Rios involvement with the company. Your issue seems to be that you've no real idea who he is or what he's accomplished so clearly its to give Del Rio a pat on the back.

The Four Horsemen were never in WWE. Ric Flair's best time was spent elsewhere, too.

It was clearly done for Del Rio and other Mexicans. He would not have gone in for his "LA and surrounding regions" contributions.

That said, I have zero issues with that because I recognize that the WWE Hall of Fame is not a "legitimate" entity, but that is just for the purposes of business and entertainment.

Its a HOF based on who they want to acknowledge as being 'worthy', I'm not saying he wasn't put in as a marketing ploy for the hispaic market in the same way Inoki went in to gain the press attention in Japan or Khali is there to bolster the Indian market, but like Inoki he's deserving of a place in any HOF for his overall legacy.

Actually Mil Mascaras was in the wwwf around the mid to late seventies,possibly 80- 81.He never stayed in one place too long.Also I believe that Bruno Sammartino should be inducted here,it's the perfect time for him to be in.WWE might make some kind of story line with Punk n ruining Bruno's HOF induction cause of the whole best in the world and best champ of all time thing.Also might be an angle for Bruno to come back and train someone to beat Punk(that's a longshot there, but you never know)

Aha, I knew there had to be other foreign examples! Great job, Whitey.

Well, there we go. It's good to know Mil did more in WWE than a self-elimination which made him look totally goofy / unable to understand the Rumble rules from the Spanish announce team.

I never understood why people view the WWE Hall of Fame as a joke. Since they started doing annual inductions at WrestleMania 20, I would argue there is not a more visible and credible entity to honor pro wrestling's past. You can nit-pick and bitch about Pete Rose or Drew Carey, but the majority of the guys in the Hall of Fame are more than deserving of having a night in which their career and legacy is honored and given a spotlight some of them have never gotten.

On one condition:

You are related to a WWE superstar and they're all going to go to Mexico (which is CONVENIENTLY where you are from).

I'm not saying Del Rio being in WWE had nothing to do with him going in when he did, but to act like he is just some fucking Mexican jobber they inducted as a favor to Del Rio and a cheap appeal to the Mexican demo is fucking ridiculous.

MM is more than deserving to be in a wrestling hall of fame. Shut up.

Should have put in El Dandy instead. Then everybody would be happy.

Never realized how much Shane Douglas looks like Guy Fieri.

Why are we arguing over a Hall of Fame? Every Hall of Fame sucks with some of their selections/omissions.

At least the other Hall of Fame are you know, ACTUAL sports.

I'm just glad no one's said anything mean about Koko B.Ware in here

Who is Inoki related to again?

You mean the lack of Franchise?

Jeff Jarrett, New Age Outlaws, Test, Kronik and Buff Bagwell all need to be in the Hall of Fame.
