Call to Arms for all TRUE wrestling fans!

[Wrestlefan73]

Hey everybody, I think it's time we all boycott the WWE until they get off their high horse and induct Owen Hart into the Hall of Fame. How long do we have to wait to see a true Hall of Famer get in? If for not any other reason, the man DIED while doing a WWE event! Eddy died from years of drug and alcohol abuse and he was inducted 6 months after he died. How many others have been inducted that died because of years of drug and alcohol abuse? It's time Vince shows this man the respect he deserves. I for one have refused to watch the one thing I have loved since I was 6 years old....professional wrestling, since WWE released the first name of this years HOF class and it wasn't Owen Hart. And I will not watch again until Owen is in the HOF!!!!

What did Owen Hart ever do to be inducted into the Hall of Fame? I mean, here's a man whose career highlight was breaking Steve Austin's neck, and who had to be killed in the ring in order to get over with fans.

Now, that may seem harsh, but it's true. Owen Hart was nothing more than a career midcarder, and certainly does not deserve to be in the Hall of Fame.

I agree, the man was nothing more than a career mid carder, people associate him with something great because he carries the last name Hart, and he is nothing like Bret. He's a career mid carder who has done nothing to get inducted into the hall of fame. his career accomplishments are not one of a hall of famer.. He was a solid wrestler, but thats all he was. BTW, if he was inducted, someone in his family would decline anyway.

not to sound like a total ass but i think its true.

owen had great feuds but nothing big in his career besides having hart as his last name and being an ic and european title holder. now i have all respect for owen as a wrestler but boycott wwe for not inducting a second rate wrestler who died on live tv, ( and not even as his original character) why do that ... plus the wwe probly dose not want to bring up all the video footage or even the story on his death .... plus the wwe is geared toward fans who probly dont even know owen hart so nah i think this was a waste of my time and yours wrestle fan 73 ( whats next randy savage in the hall of fame ) LMAO

You're trying to say Owen wasn't over when he was alive? He was red hot as a heel in the mid 90's....and had it not been for the rise of one, HBK and the Clique, I believe he would've been a multi-time World Champion before his passing.

There were plans before Owen's accident to slap "The Game" gimmick on him instead of HHH but they slapped the Blue Blazer gimmick on him again as punishment for refusing to do a "love triangle" storyline with Jeff Jarrett and Debra derailing his push for a while.

4 time Tag Champ, 2 time Intercontinental Champ, European Champ, 94 King of the Ring. I've seen wrestlers be inducted in the Hall of Fame for less. Does the name "Tito Santana" ring a bell? How about Greg "The Hammer" Valentine?

You don't have to have been a Main eventer to be inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame. I believe that Owen is a guaranteed hall of famer one day and probably the only reason he's not there by now is because the Hart family initially didn't want to be involved with that at first. He'll have his spot.

My problem with Owen not getting in because he was a career midcarder is that there have been all kinds of midcarders put in the HOF. Nikolai Volkoff for example is in the Hall of Fame. He's what, a one time tag team champion and a jobber to the stars? This year Rocky Johnson and Peter Maivia are going in. Aside from being tag champions, the only things they ever did was give us the rock. If people like these can get it, why shouldn't Owen?

[The_Mega_Powers]

Owen Hart was great in the ring and had great mic skills. There are some wrestlers who only have one skill Owen had both in and out of the ring skills. He should get in and Brett Hart should be the one who inducts him. I did forget to mention he had great charisma and heat at the same time. He was the total package as a wrestler but underused. I can honestly say I never heard him get upset over his roles in the WWE. He was constant professional.

i total agree wit u iceman...there have been a lot of names that have been inducted into the hall of fame that have not even had half as good a career as owen hart!!...owen is one of the best wrestlers that we have ever seen in wwe and he was one of if not the greatest heel of all time...owen should be inducted in the hall of fame...i heard something about his wife not wanting him to be inducted and thats why he hasnt been yet...if this is true than something is truly wrong wit this lady

Watch it. Just because you can't wrap your head around enjoying the talent of a great Superstar that plays a good heel, doesn't mean you have to speak for the rest of us.

I completely enjoyed watching Owen Hart. He might not of been great, or the very best, but he was a lot better than most. He was enjoyable to watch, which is one of the main things that matters.

So, William Perry, Bob Orton & "High Chief" Peter Maivia do? Bullshit. They induct random people in all the time, for the stupidest reasons. Owen Hart was a great Superstar and achieved many things in his short career.

No, he was never a Main Event wrestler and no he never won any World Heavyweight Championships. But neither did some of the already inducted members of the HOF.

Owen is a multiple time Intercontinental Champion, a 4 time Tag Team Champion, a European Champion.. and a King of the Ring winner. So to say that Owen Hart doesn't deserve inducted because he never became a Main Event player, would be hypocritical to say the HOF isn't already rigged with stupid inductions as is. Bob Orton isn't half of what Owen Hart was. And Orton was around a hell of a lot longer.

Please. Nobody gave a rat's ass about Owen Hart until he died, and then all of a sudden he is considered a legend. He was average at best, ordinary at worst, and generally pretty bland.

Terrible argument Will. Just because there are other disgraces in there, doesn't mean they have to continue to disgrace it. I mean, that's like saying "Well, we have a couple of spammers in the forum, so we might as well get rid of the spam rule and let anyone do it". Silly argument.

Like I said, Owen was a career midcarder. Everything you just said screams midcard.

And Owen DOESN'T deserve to be in the Hall of Fame, BECAUSE he wasn't a main-eventer. A Hall of Fame should be only the best of the best, not just anyone with a couple titles under their belt and who was killed in the ring. A Hall of Fame should be someone who was actually important to the business.

Which Owen never was.
