For some reason, I just don't see Austin as HoF material....he was your typical "badass" character. I don't know, I just can't look at him and think he's HoF material at all. I can look at guys like Savage and other classics and they have an HoF aura about them but Austin just doesn't do it for me....
Stone Cold changed the "attitude" of wrestling. He made it ok to love the bad guy. He deserves to be in the HOF for his all around performance.
Seriously tho, before neg repping LHR, anyone thinking of doing so should provide a convincing argument as to HOW "SCSA revolutionised 'the business'.
Thing is, I don't give a dick about what other people think. It's clearly my opinion that Austin doesn't really fit in the HoF. It's not to say he's a horrible wrestler because he was one of my favourites but HoF? Meh, I don't really think so.
Practically nobody knew who the fuck he was before he made it into the WWE. When he first arrived, no one liked him and he was boring as hell. Once he got the 3:16-bad attitude-drink beer-beat up my boss persona, people started liking him. I don't really see what he did to make a huge impact on wrestling. He didn't have many moves and the only thing that really stood out about him was his attitude.
I hardly think someone who mostly just ran into the ring and gave random stunners and opened a few cans of beer while dropping some good lines should be in the HoF, to be quite honest.
Inducting someone just because the writers gave him a good persona should hardly constitute for an entry, imo.
His attitude
Why does he has to “revolutionise†the business alone?
