WS Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame 2022 Induction Ceremony

[Swerve]

Eddie!

 

[Sabretooth]

well he was on my list I am now 3/3. LETS BRING IT HOME!!!

But yeah another no brainier. One of the best in ring performers of all time with a ton of charisma. He managed to get you to care about him even though he was a cheater. Such an amazing character. He really is one of the most beloved superstars in WWE history. Viva La Raza!

 

[Samoa Looch]

You did it. You deserve it. You stole all of our hearts and we are completely fine with it. Viva la raza, Eddie.

Some wrestlers change the game inside the ring, and some change the game behind the scenes. It’s pretty rare when you have a guy who can truly do both. Our next inductee is one of those few workers who was truly on the cutting edge of an evolution in the industry. In the 90s, not only would he prove to be one of the precursors to the dawning “Attitude Era”, he would also change the way wrestlers get paid - by being both one of the first in the business to secure a guaranteed contract when he jumped from WWF to WCW, as well as by being a central figure in the Monday Night Wars as a founding member of the wildly popular nWo that helped create the biggest boom that the wrestling business has ever seen. Sadly, we recently lost this man, who may have never gotten his proper credit for the impact he had on the business. But, today we enshrine him into our Hall of Fame. Hey yo, the fourth inductee of the 2022 Wrestling Smarks Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame class --

“THE BAD GUY”
SCOTT HALL

It’s only right that we pay our respects to, hands down, the most effortlessly COOL pro wrestler of all-time! Not only was Scott cooler than the other side of the pillow as an on-screen character, but he was also said to be a phenomenal guy off-screen and a selfless performer who possessed a brilliant mind for the business. You can easily see how that’s the case, as he consistently remained ahead of his time as a worker and helped drag the industry away from the cheesiness of the early 90s and blazed the trail for the more edgy and in vogue product that would emerge around the turn of the century. Despite his incredible overness, Hall never wielded his status to strong-arm his way into even more power or to bury up-and-comers who might threaten his spot. Instead, he was a giving opponent who cared more about putting on a show and supporting the future of the industry… something that many of the top stars of his era can’t claim. The one known as Razor may have never racked up the accolades befitting a star of his caliber, but no one can look at the path he paved through pro wrestling and say Hall was anything less than an all-timer. He spearheaded a movement that helped the business erupt in popularity. He stood front and center in an era crammed full of industry icons. And now, thanks to “The Bad Guy”, the Wrestling Smarks Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame is officially oozing with machismo!​

The WS Hall of Fame Roster just got the best thrown punches in the history of the Business. Well deserved.

 

[Swerve]

I hope he was on all ballots.

 

[Samoa Looch]

I can tell you, that he wasn't, but I won't.

 

[Brandon Blaze]

I meant to throw a list together. I just for some reason never got around to it. Hall was gonna be on the list I made. Glad he got in.

 

[Sabretooth]

Hall was not on my ballot. He was in my original list of 10 but not my final 5. Of course no complains from me. Hall is incredible and absolutely deserves the induction. I would’ve probably voted him in next year but this year is cool too.

I’m just mad my streak is broken now lol. I’m fairly confident the final inductee will be on my list.

 

[CakeWalker]

None of my top ten - even made the final five. But i think Hall was on my five

 

[Sabretooth]

But as for my little blurb about him…

Definitely one of the greats to do it. Achieved stardom in not one but two companies. Had one of the best gimmicks of the 90s and became a GOAT level IC champ. Probably should’ve been world champion but just never got there. Still left a huge mark in WWF as Razor Ramon as he defined what it meant to be cool. After leaving for WCW, he quickly became part of the greatest faction in wrestling history - the nWo and helped topple WWF for over two years. Truly a man who achieved incredible success and a superstar in every sense of the word. Excellent HoF induction.

Who do you vote for out of curiosity

 

[CakeWalker]

Who do you vote for out of curiosity

My original ten?

 

[Sabretooth]

My original ten?

Yep

 

[JakeYourBooty]

Obviously I’m very happy with this one. Losing Scott was fucking awful cuz of just how much I loved the guy as a performer and more so as a personality. I hope the last one is a guy that should go right in with Scott.
