At worse you just put Rikisgi in with Too Cool

I thought that too, but I'd prefer him to get in alone and I'm a Too Cool mark.

He really took off by association with them though. They were a significant group together. I get if you have an issue wi Lawler going in but Scotty to me is a guy I wouldn't mind seeing going in, especially as part of the 3 man group

I'm still under the impression that Too Cool getting over was all Scotty 2 Hotty.

I wouldn't dismiss all three of then getting a nod, they had a few hot years and probably one of the biggest pops in 2000.

Ehhhh if he gets into the Hall then you won't hear any complaints from me really, nor will you hear any from me of it being an injustice if he doesn't make it.

That is fair, its not like he stands out as one who must go in, but certainly given some of the other guys who have gone in then you could make a case for him having done enough.

He was a better wrestler than fatass Yokozuna, good midcard inductee IMO.

Rikishi was so damn over 10-15 years ago I'm surprised he didn't do more. He wasn't a decorated champion or anything but people loved him, most casual viewers from that era I know today still remember him. Hell I recently learned he competed at Wrestlemania 9 so his career was more than just dancing with Too Cool. I can't get angry at all about Rikshi in the HOF, I think it's fine.
