No it's not a joke.

The WWE HOF is great.

Maybe you believe that Koko Beware should have been inducted but that does not mean that the whole HOF is a joke .

Do you think that none of the HOF members are deserving ?

Besides I think inducting Koko who I have believe many agree with you may not deserve the honor is actually a good thing.

It makes for conversation .

Just as there have been inductees into the HOF's of other fields whom some may argue should not have been now there can be discussions amougst wrestling fans on the merits of Koko's WWE HOF induction.

But it isn't called the WWE HoF. Its the wrestling HoF. As that it is a joke.

Koko before Savage = JOKE

Koko before Sammartino = JOKE

Koko is going in? Really? Then why not Johnny Rodz, Barry Horowitz, Haystacks Calhoun, Baron Von Raschke, Don Leo Jonathen, etc. Trophy

it's finally official. did i call that one or what? Wink gotta love insider info

and yes, many HOF selections are rediculous. Pete rose before Mr. T is crazy. and almost anyone before Savage is foolish. Savage needs to get in there.

Now that they're letting in mid-carders from the 80's, i can't imagine how many guys will be getting in from the late 90's era (Scott Hall? Nash? The Steiners?)

i kinda wish it was more selective

Would be nice to hear Howard introduce the wrestlers one more time.

He was one of the things I loved when I first started watching wrestling. Right before the main event at MSG he would announce next month's matches and I would right them all down as fast as I could and pick who I wanted to win.

Ahh... the good old days

I remember those days well.
I remember listening to the lineup The Fink announced to decide wether or not I would be buying a tickets for the show.
As I remembered however the announcement came just before the last match of the evening and NOT before the main event/title match which back in thiose days was usually held more towards the middle of the card.

Shouldn't Gary Michael Capeda be recognized before Finkel?

Yep. The WWWF. The Texas Death Match. The MSG cards. The 10-minute time-limits. The punching bag guys like Frank Rodriguez and Pete Dougherty. The GREAT managers: Grand Wizard, Capt Lou Albano, Classy Freddy Blassie. Vince on the mic with Antonino Rocca.
