I probably wouldn't have liked the DVD either if I were the Ultimate Warrior...especially since they haven't done any other DVDs like it.

Let me get this right. So Mr. Baseball...whatever the fuck his name is. He gets to be televised....but Stu Hart doesn't. Stu Hart, a true legend of wrestling. Creator of "The Dungeon". doesn't get any TV time but this fucking Jack Off, this fucking dicknose that has sucked the short dicks of NBC's execs get this TV time, and Stu Hart gets a 3 second mention. Fuck this dude and the horse he rode in on. I hope he burns in hell with his sexually abusive step father. Fuck you Mr. Baseball.

To be fair, Stu's induction was posthumous. There's really no need to see two posthumous inductions on one show. George did more for the sports-entertainment business than Stu and that's why his induction was broadcast. The rest of the inductions on the show needed to be living.

That is very debatable. I'm not saying you're wrong, you're just comparing apples and oranges.

It's debatable whether or not that's why GG's was shown and Stu's was not, and certainly they both contributed in very different ways, but really there is no arguing that George certainly did more for the business than Stu did (with no disrespect to Stu's numerous achievements as well).

How about why Mr. Baseball was broadcasted instead of Stu Hart? Remember when somebody on the thread brought that up. Fuck Mr. Baseball, Fuck Pete Rose, and Fuck the sport of Baseball.

I just think that we're talking two distinct and contrasting eras. The wrestling that George popularised on television all those years ago was very different to the era of sports entertainment - essentially what we all watch now - that Stu Hart contributed so much to as a promoter and trainer.

Yes, George's influence lives on as far as flamboyance, charisma and showmanship is concerned. That isn't to say that the business wouldn't have naturally evolved that way nonetheless, but that shouldn't belittle the pioneer's influence. However, for all the popularity that George gave the wrestling industry, for the foundations that he laid, the business got knocked back down, rebuilt, knocked down, rebuilt so many times.

I don't believe that modern TV audiences who tune into wrestling can really be attributed to Gorgeous George Wagner's influence from all those decades ago. To some degree because of his role in its existence, but not as a primary protagonist anymore.

But would sports entertainment even exist today without him? I think yes, but he was still the first.

At the same time, Stu Hart managed to remain an influencial force in the industry for decades in a variety of different ways: as a trailblazing promoter; as a tough guy wrestler; as a famed sadistic stretch artist and trainer of so many men who went on to be major stars and/or brilliant workers; as patriarch of (arguably) the most prolific and famous wrestling family of all time; even as a TV performer in many WWF angles in the 90s.

I say when you take all things into a modern context, they are far closer than you give them credit for.
