If Warrior wants to be inducted, I've got no problem with it. I was never a fan of the guy. Truth is, in my opinion, the guy is among the most overrated hacks of the past 30 years. However, the fact of the matter is that Warrior was hugely popular and a big draw. He might've been an asshole behind the scenes and damn near impossible to work with, but he made money for the company. The WWE has reportedly asked Warrior several times in the past and he's always refused. Personally, I think if he says no this time then they should stop wasting their time with him. I think it'd be a risky move inviting Warrior to be in teh Hall of Fame. The guy's a bit unstable I think. He might decide to no-show the HOF induction ceremony just for spite or get on the mic and tear into the WWE just for the hell of it. And yes, both those scenarios are entirely possible. If you've ever heard or seen Warrior speak, he'd do either of those things in a heartbeat if the idea suited him.
Bob Backlund turned down a spot in the Class of 2004 for some reason, not really sure why. Backlund was the WWE's golden boy before Hulk Hogan, he was WWE Champion for a total of 6.5 years, so that in and of itself warrants induction.
It'll be cool to see Mick Foley in the HOF. He might not've been the best athlete or have a particularly good look but Foley had heart and was loaded with personality; several different ones in fact
. In terms of in-ring ability, Foley was far from being the best but he always tried his absolute hardest.
Kevin Nash is someone that I was never all that crazy about overall. I'd much rather listen to him talk than wrestle because he was a much better talker in my eyes. While a lot of nasty things have been said about Nash over the past few weeks by a lot of people, me included, the man was involved in some of the biggest & most memorable moments in wrestling history. He's a 6 time World Champion, I think he was a 10 time Tag Team Champion, he was one of the founding members of the nWo and the guy just had a great career that warrants being recognized in this way.
JBL, for me, was sort of along the same lines of Nash. I thought JBL was better in the ring than Nash, but I'd usually rather hear JBL cut a promo than watch him wrestle. JBL had a long run as WWE Champion and several runs as a Tag Team Champion. Of all the potential guys listed, JBL is probably the one that I'd have the most trouble seeing as a legend. I wouldn't argue with anyone that sees him in that light but I don't personally think his star burned as brightly as these others, certainly not as long.
