I say Shane DESERVES to be inducted into the HoF, and it has nothing to do with his last name, and partially has to do with that match.

Seriously, he's "done it all" in terms of being in the company: ref, commentary, manager, worker, and exec. Likely was on the ring crew when he was younger to boot. He could take bumps & work a mic better than most in the company around him, save maybe Mick Foley... and that's saying a lot for someone who didn't need to "make a living" doing so like "the boys".

On subject:

@ Captain and Wishbone - While it's true that safety is likely to blame for suplexes going the way of the piledriver, it is a double-edged sword in that they're likely hiring more guys who can't properly throw them OR take them because it is an afterthought; thus, Wishbone's lament for more technical wrestlers rings true.

Yeah, it would be a boost to someone like THwagger to start THrowing biTHes around the ring, but how many guys do you think he can seriously work who would properly protect themselves? He can only work Regal so many times before that would get really old really fast.
