It wasn't like they said "Wow his run in the WWF was really great, let's put him in."
Just sick of seeing "Well if Koko got in, then ______ should get in."
It is debatable whether he did enough to get in, but it is not so ridiculous that it warrants that comment, but EVERYBODY says it.

Koko was a decent worker and contributed some but he doesn't belong in the Hall of Fame. Then again the Hall of Fame really isn't all that exclusive nor is it all that legitimate, it's just a way for the WWE to honor the past, not necessarly to reward the best of the best.
If the Hall of Fame were real and it was an actual honor only befitting the very best our buisness has ever seen then Lex Luger still belongs in. He was a solid worker in the buisness for about 15 years and most of those years were the most popular years in wrestling history. And in the time the WCW was at its absolute peek he was the Number 1 baby face in the company.
That is one of the most epic moments during the Monday Night Wars.
Luger gets a lot of shit. He wasn't the best worker, but he always put on decent matches. He wasn't the best mic worker, but he always got the point across well. He wasn't the biggest draw, but for a long period of time he was WCW's #1 guy in facing the nWo. Luger isn't going to knock your socks off but he was always solid and deserves his place among the very best in the history of the buisness.
