You are not alone in your reaction. I'm betting Ware's speech will acknowledge his place in wrestling as a mid-range star with a gimmick. (I'll be there.)
Interesting fact about Ware: His home burned down a few years ago so he lost everything he had from his career, including Frankie. (Not sure where I read it.)
Here's some news, Duke the WWE celebrates its performers as entertainers first and "wrestlers" second. It's the formula that had them in the doghouse with fans shortly after the Attitude Era.
Koko is a fine addition to the WWE Hall of Fame. He was one of the very first to go out, in front of huge crowds and shamelessly act the part in order to put asses in seats.
Also, consider some of the people that today's fans will complain about who are ALREADY in the Hall. Not everyone is going to agree with every choice, we just sit back and enjoy the show.
Personally I think it's too soon for Stone Cold, they just needed a big name because other than that they had nothing.
-ShK-
um are you joking me??? ok first off theres a ton of wrestlers all ready in the hall of fame that don't need to be there, so I won't even go there......I agree with you on the stone cold thing, it's way to soon for him to go in. But dude come on theres way more wrestlers that belong in the hall over fricking koko b ware...the macho man for starters...ted dibiase, jake the snake, rick martel, the road warriors, demolition, rick rude, vader, davey boy smith, honky tonk man...hell even owen hart over koko!!!!..you know what all the people I just named have in commen? they've all held a title at some point....koko not so much....I just don't understand it...put in the warrior over him..the list could go on and on...I know the honky tonk man is putting koko in the hall of fame, but honky must be wondering why the birdman who never did jack shhhhhhhiiiiii in the wwf is getting in before the greatest intercontinental champion of all time.....sorry just ain't right!!
It is fake none of them deserve anything other then a acting certificate it is though enjoyable to watch
I agree that Koko B Ware should not be in the Hall of Fame not yet anyways there are a lot of wrestlers that are much more deserving than him.I am from Dyersburg Tennessee which isn't far from Union City his birth place at all maybe miles or so maybe.And I just don't see him going into the hall.Even as Stagger Lee or Sweet Brown Sugar he didnt do much.He did infact win championships.Although they were never any major championships.NWA USA tag champ .AWA Southern Tag.NWA Mid American Champ.NWA Mid American TV champ and so on.Now as for Rany Savage he has been black listed by Vince MacMahon I doubt you will see Macho Man or Chris Benoit in the hall ever.But things may change.They offered Mr T to be in the hall but he declined saying you put Pete Rose in the hall? What did he do?.....
shouldn't matter...koko over the macho man is a crime....don't matter how ya look at it....like I said I could name more wrestlers that need to be in the hall over fricking koko b. ware
You're missing the point.
Every year they have or "big names" and then a few guys that are either from a bygone era (read: 60's or earlier) or a couple guys from the 80's/90's that played good characters.
This is nothing more or less than the WWE formula for Hall of Fame inductions.
And on a side note Randy Savage was incredibly overrated. That's why time has forgotten him.
