I think there could be a wait on the nominations on the list you presents. The guys on that list are NWA/WCW guys and not WWF guys. They are probably not too high priority on McMahon's list.

Most of those guys like Bald Ole and Fat Dusty are the bozos and buffoons anyway. Look how they ran the WCW into the ground and out of the business. What idiots! They just pushing their buddies and sons and not real talent like Flying Brian and Z-Man. Look up Z-Man's website and read about how stupid Baldie Ole and Fat Dusty in polkadots are.

Big NWA fan? Could barely tell. lol I see Rhodes and Freebirds in there, but only because Rhodes was a hit a few times with vince sr and jr... freebirds were a strong heel group in early 84 with vince jr, but the idea of 6 man tags were not appetizing for Vince. he cut loose Roberts first, then Gordy... Then Vince let Hayes go back to WcW when it was apparent that he couldn't get "over" without tag team partners.

you'll never see ole in the HOF. Same with Luger and I have strong doubts on either Steiner Bros. Sting I can see in there, but only because Vince will scoop him up for a full year or two first and make some money with him.

Dusty a joke!

Yes, Fat Dusty was a hit for VKM Jr. backstage so Vince cold laughing his a** off. Vince hated Dusty and ridiculed him when he finally got Dusty to work for the WWF. Vince put Dusty in polka dots and make him dance around like a fool. Not only that, he gave Dusty a fat valet named tweeth tweeth thapphire, as you weeel! Vince was having a good times as Fat Dust prancing like a buffoon.


In the WWF, was Dusty ever in the title contention? No. Was he ever in a feud not in the midcard? No. Did he ever work alongside the Hogan in a program? No. Was he a Superman like he was in the NWA when he booking himself as the top guy? No. Dusty was a joke in the WWF. The butt of McMahon's joke. Hahahahahaha!

[Mr Badguy]

Yeah, but why can`t McMahon create a WCW HOF?

He owns the name after all.

He could be making money out of it instead of pissing on it like he did with the final Nitro and the "Invasion".

but the bottom line was, that after the fist year deal (at a reported $300 grand) Dusty was SO OVER with the fans, that Vince offered him 2 more years at $600,000 per year. So it looked like Dusty got the last laugh. Dusty wasn't as fat in that picture you posted, during his WWF years. He also feuded with main eventer Randy Savage, Ted DiBiase and other main eventer Big Boss Man. So it's not like he wasn't in a high profile position.

In my opinion that was my fav time in the WWF. Check out the roster at the time. Whether you were a fan of WWF or WCW it was a good blend of both.

circa 1990-1992

LOD
Ric Flair
Lex Luger
Dusty Rhodes
Rick Martel
Bulldogs
Demolition
Brain Busters
Sid Vicious
Hulk Hogan
Ultimate Warrior
The Rockers
Powers of Pain
Curt Hennig
Roddy piper
Boss Man
Randy Savage

and the list goes on.

ah yes, 'tunnel vision Vince'... lol He's getting better though in recognising past talents.... Id say the reason there wont be a WcW HOF is because they really were inferior to his product in everyway except the good wrestling part. NWA was good for wrestling and piss poor for stories and development. I dunno, I think Vince thinks of the HOF as more of a wrestling all star rather than just WWF/E. It's prob just a hard pill to swallow when inducting people that didn't really make an impact for his co. or make him money. Ole is a great example of someone that didn't make money for Vince jr or make an impact.

A great heel, that made a good impact and made a lot of $$$ for Vince was Honky Tonk Man, and Im surprised he's not inducted yet. What a gimmick to be stuck with though eh? LOL

NOT Flair and NEVER Ole

Ole didn't make a lotta money for anybody. This dumb guy was the booker during WCW's low period and come up with ridiculousness story lines and angles of all time. He was responsible for the Black Scorpion angle and also was so idiot that when Shockmaster fell on his face, stupid Ole continue with the voicing over he was do for Shockmaster.

He was so petty that he won't push young talented wrestlers. Instead he bring back all the old guys that were past their primes. These old guys would working for half the price of the young guys that Ole buried because he resented their talents and good looks.

Remember, at the after parties, the ladies would asking where's so and so wrestler and where is the other so and so wrestler. The women would flock to these unnamed wrestlers. NOT Ric Flair. And NEVER Ole.

It always amazed me, like even in the ORCA fat NWA glory days, how Rhodes could go for a dude as ORCA fat as he was.

He was a major player in the expansion of the old Crockett territory. Mr. Wrestling#2 (Johnny Walker) gave him a vote of confidence and Crockett went directly to work.

Rhodes' "main event jobber" status is probably the benchmark as far as "putting folks over" goes. When he won the world title @ the Omni, fans stormed the ring.....I've never seen anything like it and Harley Race has pontificated at length about that deal....I think he also said something like, "I've never seen anything like that".

Ric Flair has sited him as the greatest "cold" mic worker ever.

Turner Classics had this show reviewing the classic (marketing!) old NWA stuff, and in one particular episode he and Flair did commentary on their very own CLASSIC matches! Hilarity to put it mildly.

Without a doubt, he's been consistently a political backstage fucker...being groomed from the get go as such, whatdya expect?

Love the guy or hate him, he's a legend.

Yeah, I've attached this before.:D

More Warrior fun.

Ive always been a fan of Dusty because he didn't need a gimmick to make himself over. Nice pic Rus..

See Matt Hardy and Ryhno are now gone from WWE land. I can see Rhyno, but Hardy? WTF? Political bullshit. Oh well. Hardy Boy reunion coming your way on NWATNA soon.

Dusty's shirt says son of a plumber? Is he sure he didnt EAT the plumbing?

MOLLY HOLLY RELEASED BY WWE

WWE.com announced today that Molly Holly and WWE have "mutually agreed on her release". This release follows the announcement yesterday that Rhyno and Matt Hardy had been released. Jesus and Chilly Willy have also reportedly been released in recent days.
--------------------------
Maybe they are trying to weed out all the women who can actually wrestle? She was likely the best all around womans wrestler IMO....Maybe after having to wrestle that talentless twit Christe Hemme she wanted to quit wresling forever....

I found the best match of the night, last night, was the first womens tag team match. hemme is improving and Victoria is a bombshell. Everyone seemed to wrestle pretty good. And then to read Molly was released? How fucked is that? T
It was a mistake to let Gail Kim go, but now Holly? Thats bullshit.

Are you sure they let go Hey-Zeus (:D) and Cilly Willy? Im sure they just brought Chilly aboard after serving in Iraq? If its true, its a shame.

So heres my thought on Hogan. (and BTW, I told you they'd bring him back!!! LOL) - HBK & Hulk vs Davari & Hassan.
Mis-communication cause HBK to lose the match, blames Hogan and sets up a FIRST EVER HBK vs Hulk Hogan match? Remember HBK went from not wanting anyone to be his partner to asking, on his knees, for Hogan to be his. I smell a swerve. Of course that's just what Id like to see. Im sure it wont happen, because that would be entertaining, and we all know the WWE turns away from compelling storylines and entertaining ideas. :D

This would also give Shawn a nice heel turn, and Kurt could also turn face, and eventually be drafted to Raw and rekindle the Michaels vs Angle feud, but this time, with Angle as face and Michaels as heel.

any thoughts?
