38% of the votes.

Just to clarify, I got the idea for this HOF from a wrestling web site I used to visit (before it shut down). They had their own Hall of Fame where visitors voted on whether or not to induct wrestlers.

However, they were putting everyone up for grabs and they only needed 65% of the votes to get in. This meant that half the main eventers in today's WWE were already in the HOF and there were tons of inductees.

I wanted to try having a HOF out myself and I thought this would be the perfect place to do it. This HOF is mostly just for fun, but let's see if it can't become something special in the process.

How about this Ernie......let me know what you think.

We'll figure out how many people here would do this every week. Then each week, everyone gets a suggestion as to who they would want to induct. Then we make a poll to vote on it and that's who gets in. Every week there would be a new inductee and the thread could be used for a week to discuss the wrestler themselves, their matches etc. Whatdayathink?

Sounds good.

Even though you probably knew this, count me in on the voting.

I'm in as well.

I'm in for shizzle.

Good times. The DWB Hall of Fame is well on it's way to becoming the premier HOF in sports entertainment today :P

You DID see that CB wanted to vote.....right?

Hey! :angry: I'm more qualified than everyone else combined.

I'm in.

Good point, it won't be long before we induct Kane :P

... uh ... (runs away)

Yay! HOF! Ernie...retire from wrestling so we can induct you. Hahahahah!!! ;)

I'll pay everyone $20 canadian to vote for Kane. ;)

I'd rather induct him as Isaac Yankem.

Either way, it's still Glen Jacobs. :)

Technically, Dr. Isaac Yankem is retired, so he is eligible ;)

....this Glen Jacobs gay moment is brought to you by.....Mentos. The Freshmaker........

If we induct that - I demand! that Fake Diesel also be inducted!

Maybe if we start a Wrestlecrap hall of fame...

So when are we going to get started on this?

I'd be in as well. If this is happening.

As soon as we also have a WrestleCrap Hall of Fame, too.

So, a couple of wrestlers to throw out there for HoF:

Ted DiBiase

Andre The Giant

Owen Hart

British Bulldog

(I know Hart and Smith are rather recent, but so isn't Foley.)

Huh. After reading my post...I guess some of my favourites have been heels throughout the years.

That's okay, it just means you were a bigger smark than you thought while growing up.

Personally, I never understood why I should boo the Undertaker while he was the evil heel Ministry leader.

So, can we get a list up and vote for the first entrant? Isn't that the plan. Everyone votes, and then we talk about them for a week?

I don't know anymore. At first this was just going to be a list I would put together.

Since nothing has happened, I'm taking control of the HOF :P It is going to be "Rowe's HOF" so it won't necessarily represent everyone else if they disagree with it. Anyways, this is all meant to be fun.

Psh. I should create my own list! And it'll be even better than yours!

Meh. Too lazy.

I'm closing this and restarting it in the General Wrestling folder, rather than moving the entire thread.
