Plus ROH is a very different company to TNA, you cannot judge them in the same way. In a way ROH are more sucessful as they don't throw away millions every year and for an Indie do pretty solid business.

Christian would be a good first choice to be inducted, however I don't believe that WWE would allow it to happen, even if TNA do pose little threat, it is not a WWE thing to do.

Having a better roster doesn't mean shit, everyone has been harking about how TNA has had a better roster than WWE.

Anyways, ROH didn't have the forethought to go straight to PPV like TNA did. Plus they haven't gotten a decent TV deal like TNA did, and they didn't partner up with a group like Panda Energy like TNA did. Both are still indy feds, but TNA has done better business than ROH.

I don't consider TNA an indie they have national exposure and due to them signing ex-WWE/WCW guys do have a profile, it is just they are unsucessful.

TNA has never had much exposure outside of SpikeTV.

Thats like saying Joe Schmo was up there with Survivor.

I agree with this.

Yeah, it's gotta' be Christian, as soon as you go to ImpactWrestling.com, you see Christian Cage circa 2007 with Dixie's tweet.

I wonder what Christian thinks of all of this? It is one thing for WWE to agree to let TNA use one of their wrestlers for their HOF since TNA let Flair appear at WWE's HOF but what if they guy simply doesn't want to go?

Christian is a great choice for the TNA HOF but there is no way he should be the first inductee, has to be a Jarrett. I fear that TNA are only doing this because they think that it will get them more exposure having the current WWE Intercontinental Champion as the first inductee.

The reason he's the first inductee is because it makes perfect sense.

He was 'that guy' who put TNA on the map (before Angle blew him out the water) because he chose to defect to them while he was a reasonably big deal in the WWE. Also, it beats waiting a few years until he's out of contract, just cash in on that favour WWE owe for Flair's shindig.

Plus it gets exposure in the wrestling world because the dirtsheets love their 'omg TNA guys and WWE guys together!!1' stories.

I agree with this, Christian was third on my list of who should go in behind Jeff and Jerry.

You think the E's pissed on CC for this? They removed him from a bunch of upcoming dates.

Even if they are, removing him from dates is about the worse thing they could do with all the injuries and suspensions right now.

Not really his fault, only in this situation since WWE did that deal with TNA for Flair at the PPV. I doubt that WWE would be annoyed at Christian since he can't help that TNA want him for this deal.

PWInsider said:
Since yesterday, Karen Jarrett has been telling everyone on Twitter that Jeff is not the first inductee into the TNA Hall of Fame, and has been re-Tweeting everyone (and I mean everyone) who says Jeff should be.

Karen also stated that she and Jeff will not be at the PPV.

As always with TNA, take it for what it’s worth.

Swerve?
