WS Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame 2020 Induction Ceremony

[Hoss]

Time for the third inductee!

Impact is very meaningful in pro wrestling. You have to be truly special to enact change in the industry. This next man has done it all in wrestling and single-handedly changed the course of history multiple times throughout his illustrious career. Beyond being the largest of larger than life characters, he is also the man who ushered in the Golden Age of wrestling and then completely rewrote the rules when he left WWE, went to WCW, and was a centerpiece in the Monday Night Wars. He would go on to have final runs in both WWE and TNA where he lived up to the moniker of The Immortal One. Ladies and gentlemen, the next inductee into the Wrestling Smarks Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame --

HULK HOGAN

This was certainly an inevitability. How do you not induct the most recognizable pro wrestler of all time? The man who brought the industry to new heights. Hogan is a six-time WWE Champion, six-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, winner of the first ever International World Grand Prix League, and headliner of over a dozen marquee events throughout his career. And now... he's a member of the Wrestling Smarks Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame!​

This makes me think I'm gonna be very sad.

2 out of three are good choices

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Hulk Hogan is truly a pioneer of the golden age of wrestling. He belongs in here.
(I just prefer my Hogan to have more darkness on his soul.)

Who isn't a good choice and why do you believe that?

Yeah same

personal reasons for Hogan but that my opinion. I do like Macho & Rock tho also kind suck if Hogan gets in twice in one year Hogan/NWO IMO.

He's not gonna. I knew once Hogan got in, nWo was DOA. Most people were only gonna vote for one.

Hogan going in is no surprise. I didn't personally have him too high but I'm cool with it. Hogan/Rock/Savage so far is a fire fuckin' class.

I can see why people hold the vendetta against Hogan but in a situation like this... I mean... I already said it in the induction, but how can you NOT have Hogan included in a Hall of Fame for wrestling? He basically IS wrestling. And I don't have to be a fan of his (because I'm really not) to recognize that.

But you know, people will always have hang ups on his personal behavior. It's understandable, but I also think it's kind of short sighted. If we limit a Hall of Fame to only include wrestlers who have been upstanding citizens their whole lives, that's gonna be a pretty limited list.

Mine is I just wasn’t ever a fan or cared for how work outside of the nWo. I like Hogan as a bad guy and that’s not something he did much. Hints why I have him as a heel in my TEW world because Hogan as a heel is fire.

Still waitin' for Bruno. These guys all deserve the honor but if it wasn't for Bruno, these folks may not exist
