A) They are spelled different

B) Legend is thrown around way too much as is.

C) The hall of fame should be for the best of the best not just anyone we remeber from back in the day.

If everyone and Judy Bagwell were in the Hall of Fame, no one would give a shit.

"Cowboy" Bob Orton
Eddie Guerrero

Orton because he really didn't do anything too notable in his career. I think he's only in because of Randy, as someone said above. It helps Randy's TV appearances and credibility, etc. Eddie I feel shouldn't be in because it was too soon, however, I think they're jumping on the popularity increase after his death to induct him.

Orton I don't think should be in at all, Eddie I do, just not right now.

The "celebrity" HoF I don't really agree with at this point, because no one that should've automatically been in, ie. Andy Kaufman, Mr. T, Ali, Dennis Rodman, etc., has been inducted yet.

Thanks for pretty much agreeing with me.

I'm not too familiar with the older guys, so I'm not going to question them.

Pat Patterson deserves to go in, I think. I mention this because BDC said he didn't. He's been instrumental in booking the Royal Rumble (they would somehow need to convey this in kayfabe terms), and that is one of the most special things the WWE has ever produced. Plus he was the first-ever Intercontinental Champion and was willing to embarrass himself for the WWE during the Attitude era, putting over a new batch of stars.

Sgt. Slaughter should not be in yet. Maybe one day, if they run out of people to induct. Nothing against the guy, but his career highlight is losing the WWE Championship to Hulk Hogan.

I do think it was too early for Eddie Guerrero to go in. They kind of did it just because he died, though.

"Cowboy" Bob Orton was involved in the first WrestleMania main event, and he fucked Randy's mother. That's the most he's contributed. I can see why people would leave him out.

Pete Rose really shouldn't be in the celebrity wing. Like Sgt. Slaughter, maybe in a few years when they run out of people to induct. Maybe if he attacked Kane a few more times.
