WWE Hall of Fame 2016 leaked + thoughts on the entries

Well, it seems like someone high up in WWE, told the guys from Whatculture Wrestling a few secrets that they probably shouldn't have told. One of them, being the inductees for the WWE Hall of Fame this year.

 

Why he did this? I have no idea. Maybe the higher up guy did this as symbolic punch to the face against Vince Mcmahon, or Kevin Dunn or whatever.

 

But nonthenless, let's look at the guys we got.

 


Sting

What can i possibly say, that hasn't been already been told about Sting? He was the guy that was always there in WCW, in good times and bad times. He is remembered for some of the greatest and most iconic matches in Wrestling history. His legendary rivalry with Ric Flair is one of the greatest in wrestling, with their match at the first clash of the champions, lasting almost an hour, which is still considered a classic. He was also part of the main event of Starcade 97 between him and Hogan, which is the most bought PPV, in WCW history.

 

While some people are still mad that he jobbed to Triple H and Seth Rollins last year, there is no denying that it hurt his 3 decades long legacy. He is certainly a man, that belongs in every Wrestlng Hall of Fame.

 


JBL

These days, JBL is considered to be the worst Wrestling commentator and although i can't really stand him now, i have to admit that John certainly payed his dues in the last 3 decades.

 

He used to wrestle in Japan in the early 90s and then came over to Germany for Otto Wanzes CWA, where he had Bullrope Matches. Until he came to the WWE as Blackjack Bradshaw, forming the new Blackjacks with the legendary Barry Windham. His true rise to stardom, came in the attitude Era, when he formed the APA with Ron Simmons and during his height in 2004 and 2005, when he changed to his JBL persona, he became the longest running WWE Champ in Smackdown history, until dropping it to John Cena at Wrestlemania 21, which pretty much elevated Cena then.

 

You can think of JBLs personality what you want. But as a Wrestler, i have respect for him.

 


Jaqueline

I seriously have no idea what she does here, except for the fact that the ceremony is held in Texas and she just seems to be there, because Jaqueline for me, was an average below Female Wrestler during the Attitude era.

 

I have to admit that i never followed her career in the USWA, because i didn't see much USWA. But besides that, i can't really say anything, other then the fact that she was just was one of those pretty girls.

 


The Fabulous Freebirds (Michael Hayes, Terry Gordy, Buddy Roberts)

Probably one of the greatest Stables in Wrestling history. The Freebirds where the inventors of the so called "Freebirds rule" which means that the tag champs of a stable can let the titles defend from every member of the stable of their choosing. Something that is used by the current tag champs New Day these days.

 

The Freebirds made their selfs be known in the mid 80s at Fritz Von Erichs Texas promotion WCCW, where they had a grueling and very bloody rivalry with the Von Erich family, which turned into a war between Texas and Georgia (with the freebirds being from Georgia.) They where also the first wrestlers with an own entrance theme, that got to number one of the billboard charts.

 

 

After they split in 1994, Michael Hayes became an active man in the WWE as Doc Hendrix, who was an interviewer till 1999 and Michael Hayes still to this day, is an active member of the writing team of the WWE.

 

For me, this induction was a long time coming, because the Freebirds are an important part of 80s wrestling.

 


Charles Wright (AKA The Godfather, AKA Papa Shango)

Another very important part of the Attitude Era, The Godfather was probably one of the most entertaining (and also controversial) wrestlers of that Era. A former Intercontinental champion and former tag team champion, the godfather was always coming to the ring with his "ho-train."

 

But before he became the godfather, he played a mysterious Voodoo priest, by the name of Papa Shango in 1992. One of the more strange angles of that time, was when he put a voodoo curse on the Ultimate Warrior. Some consider it incredibly cheesy, while i am one of the few guys, who thought that it was absolutely awesome.

 

Wright is also one of the guys, who also always stayed behind the WWE all those years and i think that's also one of the reasons why he gets into the Hall of Fame, which i have no problems with.

 


Regis Philbin

We got another one of those dreaded Celebrity hall of famers. While i was behind the last two celebrities (Mr.T and Arnold Schwarzenegger) i have no idea what Regis Philbin is doing in here.

 

The only noteworthy thing that he did, was being a guest a Wrestlemania 7. I don't care if he is a fan of the WWE, because by that logic, i could get into the Hall of Fame. I have nothing more to say.

 


The Hall of Fame seems to be a mixed bag this year.

Papa Shango made the Ultimate Warrior leak slime. Hall of Fame place well warranted. :D

 

*sigh* I know. But seriously, for some reason i love it.

The celebrity inductees are usually a joke, but it's hard to get worse than Donald Trump or Drew Carey...unless they ever decide to include Snooki*shudders*

 

But I am surprised that Lemmy wasn't included this year, I woulda figured Triple H would've pushed for him after his death this year. Also surprised that this year still hasn't included The Rock or The Undertaker. They're both past due

 

Sting, Charles Wright, Fabulous Freebirds and JBL definitely deserve it though

I think Lemmy wasn't included, because his death happend at a time, where it was already decided, who gets into the celebrity wing this year. Atleast there is next year.

 

Rocky and Taker will get in, when it's absolutely clear, that they will never get back into the ring again.

I disagree with JBL. He paid his dues, yeah, and obviously he's been close to management for a long time. But he's not one of the greats in my mind and he had a rep as a locker room bully. (Remember when Joey Styles of all people punched him out in Iraq?)

 

Also disagree with Jacqueline. She was a capable female wrestler in WWE and still is today, but she didn't have that special quality about her.

 

Regis is a disgrace.

 

Charles Wright could get it done in the ring, but he's really known only for his memorable gimmicks, one of which I hated even as a teenage mark (the Godfather). So I'd have to disagree with that one too.

 

Sting and the Fabulous Freebirds are the only picks I agree with here. They don't come any more awesome than the Franchise, and the Freebirds revolutionized heel tag team wrestling.
