Jushin "Thunder" Liger - Will he ever come to WWE or be inducted to the HOF?

I was just thinking about how big a legend Jushin Liger is. Despite this, he's never worked for WWE. Though he has worked the states, most notably in WCW.

Is there any chance of him ever coming into WWE? Would you like to see him in WWE? Will he ever go into the WWE HOF?

Discuss Jushin Thunder Liger in general in this thread.

I think he'd get a HoF nod. Not sure about working there though. How old is he now btw?

I doubt it. He and the other Jap guys have more than enough fanfare in Japan. If he goes in, there's no reason not to put in a bunch of other Jap guys and I don't see that happening either. He's never directly worked for Vince and most people probably wouldn't have a clue who he is anyway, don't really see the point.

I highly doubt it, but if he gets in, I wouldn't be opposed to seeing him and Pillman put in it together, since they really made that style of high flying "popular", and pretty much set the foundation for the cruiser weight division.

They put people who were never stars in the WWE in the hall of fame already. I don't see why he shouldn't be included. Nor do I see any reason why WWE wouldn't want him in there unless he doesn't really care to be included himself.

He'd be a great inclusion if they are really devoting a large piece of the inductees from WCW. He had the first match on WCW Nitro with Brian Pillman from the Mall of America. He was the biggest influence on the Light-heavyweights and Crusierweights in WCW, ECW and the WWF.

If they ever decided to do WrestleMania from the Tokyo Dome he'd be a shoe in for that one. They really ought to do a WrestleMania from the Tokyo Dome.

I could see him getting into the HOF down the line, noone expected Inoki to be in it after all, but i doubt we'd ever see him in the WWE.

I'd like to see him in it one day. Since Vince has already put in guys who never worked for him and seems to really want this to be THE pro wrestling hall of fame and not just WWE's hall of fame it would be nice to have some Jap guys in it. Personally though i'd rather see the dynamite kid in it first and foremost

Never

They put in guys that never worked for the WWE - YEs.

But those guys made their legacy in companies the WWE now owns the Tape Libraries and Names of.

Why would they enshrine someone who had nothing to do with anything about their company, and that they make no money on.

It seems impossible but I can see it happening..just not any time soon.
WWE seems to be expanding internationally. I could see them including more global stars to perhaps try and get the attention of foreign audiences.

I definitely give Jushin Thunder Liger the nod for the Hall of Fame. His matches with Brian Pillman, Dean Malenko, Ultimo Dragon, and Rey Mysterio in WCW were fantastic.

Probably Not.

Tiger Mask should definitely go in though. He was the lightheavyweight champion for a time in wwf, and was the primary pioneer of bringing cruiserweight wrestling to japan and the states.

Only guy I think should really go in is Inoki and he's already there. Baba maybe but if he was going, I guess he'd be there already. Tiger Mask probably has a better case for going in than Liger and guys like Muta, Kobashi etc.

Lets see...

Tiger Mask - Definitely, especially if he, Dynamite Kid, and the original Black Tiger (Mark Rocco) get inducted together.

Masahiro Chono and The Great Muta would definitely be in, as they have a great tenures in WCW, especially when they're part of the nWo.

Tatsumi Fujinami should be in, as he was the pioneer of junior heavyweight wrestling, and the first man to successfully graduate to the heavyweight division.

Giant Baba would be great as Baba traded the NWA title with Jack Brisco and Harley Race and teamed regularly with Andre The Giant.

Genichiro Tenryu would be a great pick, as Tenryu had inter-promotional deals with WWE in the 1990s with SWS and WAR.

Jumbo Tsuruta, without a doubt, would be a tremendous pick. Tsuruta was definitely considered by many wrestlers around the world as one of the best wrestlers in the world, not just in Japan. He was the very first Japanese wrestler to be cheered in America, at a time where anybody not from America was a heel.

Riki Choshu would also make a great pick, as he held the WWF International and World Martial Arts Heavyweight Championships.

Fujiwara, maybe.

I just enjoy the guy, but I do give Liger the HoF nod, but NOT before Giant Baba.

I enjoyed Hayabusa too. It was a shame that he suffered that career-ending neck injury.

I love Rollerball Rocco but he shouldn't be anywhere near the WWE HOF. That's a stretch even for you.

Not to be a dick, but who? And this would be the reaction from about 90% of the WWE Universe.

That can be said about names like Mad Dog Vachon and Inoki. And they're just from last year's HOF.

How about The Cobra? He had a triangle feud with The British Bulldogs over the WWF Junior Heavyweight Championship after Tiger Mask first retired.

The Cobra George Takano is a great choice but I am sure most WWE fans have NO idea who he is

Plus I doubht he has any chance of ever being inducted

i have heard of this guy, but never saw him wrestle except for what people just posted. thus, my guess is prob no.
someone mentioned ultimo dragon. didn't he hold like 10 titles at once at some point? no idea what they were, just heard that factoid somewhere and thought it was nifty.

There's also a shooped demotivator that substantiates this fact. Sadly, all most U.S. fans will remember him for is almost eating shit during his entrance at Wrestlemania.

Although I also agree with The Great Muta getting in (I know I immediately associate any use of "poison mist" with him) he seems to be one of those underappreciated guys like Scott Norton, so it's doubtful he'll get the nod before a bunch of others listed here.
