I'd think they would also go for Carlos Colon given the strong Latin population in Miami.

Re: WWE Tidbits & Rumours Thread

wwe will probably do an all non american hall of fame this year. Because they seem to think that people like Jake the snake Roberts, arn Anderson, Rick rude, and the british bulldog don't deserve to be in the hall of fame

 

[Gentleman Jake]

No because Macho and Liz are getting in this year....and my bad DD I meant the whole state of CT I hate that fuckin state

It's not that they don't think they deserve it, they just don't want to shove everybody in right away. I agree with Booty that of all people, Jake should be inducted before its too late, though I argue the same thing about Hall. Still, considering its just another typical McMahon sideshow with no intrinsic value at all I really don't care who goes in each year.

I'd be down right fucking depressed if Scott Hall died before being inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Nothing funny about it. I'll be pretty damn inconsolable. For quite some time.

Not saying I totally disagree with you...but why should Jake be put in?

Re: WWE Tidbits & Rumours Thread

1) he invented the DDT one of the greatest moves of the last 3 decades

2) he was the first heel to become so over that fans starting chanting for him over the face so Vince had to make him a face

3) he was the greatest cerebral promo cutter of his time

4) he was never given any titles during his run in WWF when he should have had multiple runs

5) he let his personal problem with alcohol be used in an angle

I'm sold for the most part, but I do see the no titles and his rough life since WWE holding that back...WWE can be real douchey sometimes...I personally am sold on the mere fact that he invented the DDT, considering it's a standard move in matches now. I'm definitely sold on your reasons though, I was just curious.

You could also add in that he was one of the most underrated ring psychologists of all time. He always did exactly the right thing at exactly the right time and never felt the need to add excessive moves to his repertoire. Plus, his match with Steamboat at the Boston Garden where Roberts devises a way to counter the Steamboat chop is one of the best examples of storytelling and psychology that I've ever seen.
