Mark Henry should induct them

 

[El Cocodrilo]

If they can go from now til Mania without any of their phone calls getting publicly released, they will be in the clear.

 

[HamAndEgger]

Finally

 

[Heelish]

Mark Henry should induct them

... into the Hall of Pain

It's deserved even with how I feel about Hayes. The Von Erich v Freebirds stuff holds up for viewing 30 plus years later IMO


Stone cold can stop ranting about it on his podcast finally

Michael “P.S.” Hayes, ringleader of the Fabulous Freebirds, often resorted to race-baiting to intensify feuds: The Freebirds’ feud with Junkyard Dog turned on Hayes calling JYD “boy,” and the Freebirds once came to the ring in a major match against the Road Warriors at Comiskey Park with the rebel flag painted on their faces. In 2008, Hayes was suspended from his backstage duties with WWE for supposedly telling African American wrestler Mark Henry, “I’m more of a ****** than you are.” He was said to have used the N-word casually over the years without causing a stir. He is also credited with the notion that black wrestlers don’t need gimmicks because being black is their gimmick.

A (Very) Concise History of Racism in Wrestling, 1980-Present

I think from a wrestling standpoint that its dope the Freebirds get in, but now with social media, more information is available in terms of how these guys really act in person.

counting wrestling angles when he was a heel is dumb. You're not supposed to like heels. I repeat, you are not supposed to like heels. He was racist enough in real life

I gotta say this is the weakest class of HOF inductees.

Rick Rude isn't in there yet?!

Rick Rude isn't in there yet?!

I got to believe it's either an Owen Hart type of deal where his family doesn't want him in or the more realistic theory that Vince is still holding a grudge over the whole being on Nitro and Raw at the same time ordeal.

Hopefully they do it in Minnesota next year.


Still holding onto hope they'll give it to us

I'd like to believe Vince isn't that petty to hold a grudge from twenty years ago with a dead man, but I know better.

Those are the only two scenarios I can think of at this point. It really makes no sense why he's not in yet.

There's a tailor somewhere in the South who is at the thought of making an oversized lavender coloured silk suit, right now.
