Not a fan of JBL but good for him. I do enjoy the stories of the APA and Teddy Long.

But JBL is deserving so let’s celebrate who made it and not just complain about the tons of people we think should be in

Hell fucking yeah. JBL is one of my all time favorites. Davey Boy is a great, much deserved induction as well. Looking like one hell of a class this year.

Well, I think alot of people should go in before JBL.

He should be way way way down at the bottom of the list.

Who are some of these people?

Bearing in mind that WWE can't just induct every top star in a single year. You can really only have one or two marquee names a year or else you're gonna run out of viable headliners in about 5 years.

I would say anyone but JBL. Put him in next year but I'm sure there are some others who should, I don't have a name to throw in. As really the WWE hof is showcasing how much of a joke it is for them inducting x-pac with the nWo which to me just makes it a joke cause well. There was the original members and they should be the only ones going in. But, eh. Oh well.

I'm not gonna say JBL should be at the front of the line but he's done way more than some others who are already in there. A great career in tag team and singles ranks, as well as a solid broadcasting career. He has the credentials.

To me, I don't really care that much about the order that people go in. I think the one thing I do care about is that they induct people who are worthy while they're still alive to receive the induction. So in that case, there are some guys like Rick Martel, Sid Vicious, Lex Luger and Demolition that I think need to be inducted sooner rather than later. But you'd have to be a pretty serious JBL hater to try and deny that he has a Hall of Fame resume.

I didn't say he shouldn't go into the hall of fame. I am saying there are others who are more qualified to go in before him is what I said.

I guess I just don't feel the order they go in is really relevant since the classes are always structured to have one or two truly big names, a woman, a tag team, and a few midcard types. They don't make it a point to put all the "most deserving" people in before the more fringe level people, which they shouldn't. Otherwise we'd have classes like The Rock, Batista, nWo, Taker, The Steiners and Luger for a couple years and then we'd have some kinda Great Khali, Right To Censor, Hardcore Holly, Crush and Debra class after a few years. :lol
