I was just sitting here and thinking about the good candidates for the Hall of Fame this year. What are some names that you guys think deserve the nod. I'll start off by saying Dick Murdoch should get in. I know he bounced around from NWA, WCW, and WWF but he is highly respected and has been given recent notoriety by CM Punk. Who are some guys you would like to see make it? Popular or not

He would be a great addition. That man put his heart, soul, body, blood, sweat, and tears in the company. That was about as cliche as it gets, but it's true

I say it half tongue in cheek, but I think he deserves it.

Not only for the insane spots and crazy beatings he took in some hardcore matches... but goddamn man he had some epic AE feuds. vs Vince, X-Pac, Big Show, Rocky, Angle.... and he had some classic matches.

His SS match against Angle is a 5 star classic, idgaf what ANYONE says.

He went out of his way to entertain us. He knew that the fans were never going to really see him as a wrestler since he is a McMahon so by gawd (hey JR how ya doing?) he tried harder than anyone else. And we loved him for it.

People just remember him for his crazy shit, but honest to God he wasn't that bad of a technical wrestler. He had an impressive moveset, especially for an untrained guy. (obviously he had some training at some point, but you know what I mean) Dude was an underrated athlete.

Totally. As I mentioned in my previous post. I think his surname also was a factor for people thinking he wouldn't be any good in the ring and thus helped people form a stereotype around him. When he actually was good.

The WWE HOF is a joke. So who cares, really?
