really don't care who gets put in as long as they give a good speech. It's not like it matters anyways. Henry should have some good stories to share.

This gives me hope that now Mideon will get inducted at some point in the future.

The Hall of Pain was cool. Everything else was between 'garbage' and 'barely passable'. Congratulations, though. Seems like a super nice guy.

Does that mean everyone inducted into the Hall of Pain are now WWE Hall of Fame members by association?

Hey, if Mick Foley could get that win (with the help of special ref CM Punk) over Chris Jericho at his Hall of Fame induction, I could totally see this being a thing that happens. Or even at least teasing it again, just to set him back down and go "Ah! Gotcha!" |

Rumor going around the net hints the reason why Henry got the nod was due to Bam Bam Bigelow's family unable to reach a financial deal with the WWE in terms of royalties and image rights for this year's class.
Bigelow was the only one from the original list of rumored names to not be inducted while Henry, Jarrett, and Hillbilly Jim were late additions for this year's class. |

I used to work with Bam Bam's niece. Maybe I can talk to her about it.

Only if he actually stiffs Kid Rock. And the podium isn't gimmick'd.

Mark Henry totally deserves to be in the HOF. He surpassed one of the worst angles ever, was apart of a legendary stable, and totally turned around his career and had an amazing Heavyweight Championship run. I look forward to his speech more than anyone. I'd say Ron Simmons will induct him but he's not the most eloquent speaker so I really don't know who would be best, maybe Michael Hayes.

Yeah, the "Koko is undeserving" thing is a myth. He got the shit end in the fed, but there's a reason they signed him.

It could have been more, but injuries impeded it. Still, you're right. 15 years of shite, 1 year of the goods.

As I've been saying, the HOF is little more than a golden watch to thank a long-time employee for their years of service.

He finally started getting his together a decade later and even then didnt get good for 14 years into his run. He's literally one of the most overpaid wrestlers of all time. |

I don't disagree. But he still put his time in and was well-liked. That's basically all you need to do to round out a HOF class from WWE's standpoint.

There are a shitload of people currently on TV every week who don't feel like HOFers in the traditional sense but I can pretty much guarantee most of them will be going in eventually.

Nope. 1980. Koko did his thing, and Frankie was pretty over, but still felt like he was kinda... there. Always felt like a poor man's JYD. |

For me the Hall of Pain was a brilliant angle and his run on Smackdown on top was really great. Probably the best surprise title run ever for my money. For the rest of it, sure he went through tons of garbage stories but he also endured and was a positive person in the locker room. He's a HOFer in WWE standards for sure.
