I know she's a hot topic right now, but for now I don't see it. Maybe a couple years down the line when they don't have any other female to induct that year because, if we're being honest here, due to the fact that there aren't as many legendary female wrestlers as there are male ones, it's fairly easier for women to get inducted into the HOF nowadays. If the company and people watching the product still remember you a decade after you left, you're basically in.

With that being said, she'll probably get inducted in a couple years or even decades, given that she's only 25. But the way I see it, the Bellas are definitely getting inducted one day.. so literally anyone who had minor success in the women's division will probably get to join the Hall

No I don't think she is worthy so far, maybe if she continues with WWE and get to do stuff to get her over...

She will eventually, probably, since even with her career being short, she was the first ever NXT Women's Champion, a former Diva's/Women's Champion, and probably would have done more if her career wasn't cut really short. Was her career as great as others? No. Are there other women who should be in it first? Yes. But I'm not going to openly bash her, frankly.

*Thinks about Chyna for a few moments*

Okay...so I don't mean to seem heartless or anything...
but we all remember the wellness policy violations,
leaked porn tapes including the "desecration" of a
NXT title belt & her erratic public behavior right?

I do...

Paige...while I'm sure is a sweet lady...is no Saint.

Sure it sucks her WWE career maybe over...but...
I think we need a few years of "distance" before
any kind of serious Hall of Fame talks begin.

Not any time soon, however she'll probably be remembered as the youngest Diva's/Women's champion and for winning the belt her first night on RAW . The sextapes and her relationship with Alberto El Patron will always linger on her legacy so I guess it'll depend on her relationship with the company going forward. Plenty of less deserving assholes in the hall of fame so I don't see why she won't make it in eventually.

I have always been sort of indifferent to Paige, so I think I can try to look at this objectively. And that being the case, I don't think her career to this point has been HOF worthy. That being said, it's hard to really know what is HOF worthy in the WWE HOF because there are those in the hall who are very deserving and many left out who are deserving. There are some people in the HOF that make you scratch your head and ask "WTF?"

If Paige is ever inducted, it would be because the injury ended her career. I come to this conclusion this way: if she retired today and it was not due to an injury, I don't think her being inducted would be a discussion. It's not meant to be an insult as to what she has done, just that it is still just the beginning of a career if she were able to continue. But if she retires due to the injury, I could see WWE taking that into account and possibly inducting her down the line. But it would be way down the line.

Again, I have never had strong feelings about her one way or the other. Don't like her really and don't dislike her. I don't know why exactly I've never felt anything for or against her.

Simply put, no, it doesn't warrant a hall of fame induction but WWE will do it regardless (maybe even right away to promote the movie)

Although putting her into the 2018 HOF is way too soon. I think she deserves a place in this very unprestigious Hall Of Fame. WWE pick and choose who gets into the HOF depending if it benefits them. There is no voting committee to the Hall, so it isn't even legitimate. The WWE HOF is nothing more then commercial. That's why Jericho doesn't give a shit about it.

As for Paige tho, I don't see why she shouldn't be in the Hall. She started wrestling at the age of 13 and in 5 years later she was signed to WWE. A 18 year old goth girl from Norwich getting a WWE contract. That was the turning point for woman's wrestling for me. Obviously there are many people you can credit for the "woman's revolution" but Paige and Emma undeniably kick-started it. She later became the youngest woman's champion ever and had a pretty good feud with AJ.

So I think without Paige, what state would woman's wrestling be in now? Still be fighting over a butterfly belt? maybe not, but for me Paige definitely is a deserving candidate for the HOF. Plus she must of had a good career if The Rock and Stephen fucking Merchant want to make a film about her.

Just looking at the majority of people in the HOF, off course Paige is deserving for a place. Not like it matters anyway. As a fan I don't give flying fuck about the HOF, But what happened to Paige is tragic and I hope she is successful outside of the squared circle.
