2006 was the last year a woman entered Meltzer's Hall of Fame.
Aja Kong doesn't belong in the Hall. Though it's basically worthless now that The Young Bucks and Jon Moxley are in it.
>>19282041Aja is the greatest woman's wrestler of all time objectively speaking
>>19282057take the figure out yo bussy, playa
>>19282057She really isn't though.
>>19282068It's the first youtube result when you search her name so I am proven right
>>19281995White women cannot wrestle, the proof.
>>19282041Moxley is not in"Some of the notable near misses this year include Hayabusa (58.9%), Junkyard Dog (58.6%), Jesse Ventura (57.4%), Ted Turner (55.5%), Gorilla Monsoon (51.7%), Zack Sabre Jr. (49.7%), Mark & Jay Briscoe (48.8%), Mike Tenay (48.6%), and the British Bulldogs (45.1%).Randy Orton landed at 31.6% of the vote, which means he has quite a ways to go before a potential Hall of Fame induction. Some other candidates who finished at a similar level, but ahead of Randy, include Samoa Joe (36.5%), Matt & Jeff Hardy (35.6%), Rick & Scott Steiner (34.7%), Jim Johnston (34.1%), and Jon Moxley (32.3%).Candidates who fail to earn 10% of the vote in a region will not appear on next year’s Hall of Fame ballot. That means Drew McIntyre was screwed over once again by the higher powers, and he will have to wait to be added back to the ballot. However, Mercedes Mone (10.9%), Trish Stratus (10.5%), and Seth Rollins (10.0%) just barely managed to make the cut. Perhaps next year they’ll be able to reach the level of jam-up guy El Dandy (16.7%)."https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/396649/cm-punk-cody-rhodes-sabu-wrestling-observer-hall-of-fame-class-2025-vote-new-inductees-meltzer
>>19282501>Matt & Jeff Hardy (35.6%), Rick & Scott Steiner (34.7%)>Zack Sabre Jr. (49.7%)what in the fuck am I reading
>>19282582The Young Bucks are already in so don't try to make sense of it. Rick Steiner is nearly 30 years older than Nick Jackson
Ishii got in as a career midcard gatekeeper, as far as I'm concerned this voting process is trash.
The WON HOF lost all credibility when Dave finally caved to nostalgia fags and let career anti-draw Sting in. >>19282071A video by that fat british tranny?
>>19282501>Mercedes Mone (10.9%)Insanity that she even has 1%. These niggas have lost they mind.
>>19281995very sad
>took him 10 years to get Aja inThis nigga don't know shit
>>19283302Dave was a main reason why Americans even knew who she was. She would have been age 36 when she got in. Moolah would be 102 if alive and is not in.
>>19283342I don't care if he's influential, anyone putting Toyota above Aja on a list is clueless
>>19281995evil sexist
>>19282726young bucks before samoa fucking joe?
Any wrestling "Hall of Fame" who doesn't have Trish Stratus representing women is simply not legitimate. Just look at women wrestling booked for TV pre-Trish and post- Trish is enough to know her importance
>>19283302Fat no dimes menhera blaq who killed the biz. Erika sucks.
>>19283358Aja's only Dave 5 star matches were against Toyota and Toyota was a 5 star master before Dave started inflating his ratings. Toyota was champ and main event more than Aja, no?
>>19281995even more offensive than all the obvious American names being excluded is when you see someone like Gran Hamada inducted only posthumously this yearhe literally brought the lucha style to Japan, shouldn't he have been a first ballot hall of famer to an audience that likes that?
>>19281995where's mariko yoshida?
>>19284930So? That doesn't mean he was good at it or a draw. >>19284197>>19284930American women wrestling is a fucking joke and drew no dimes ever and doesn't deserve to be in simple as.
>>19284964>So? That doesn't mean he was good at it or a draw.He's far more crucial to wrestling history than any of the modern Japanese guys they keep inductingYou could remove Shingo Takagi (inducted 2024, and not a draw) from wrestling history and literally nothing changes. You remove Gran Hamada and there's no Shingo.
>>19282777Sting drew for WWE and AEW during his run, that's what got him in. Similar reason Punk went in this year.
>>19285168Shingo is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time who has had some of the greatest matches of all time. His series of matches with Will Ospreay will live forever and inspire thousands. That's why he's in the HOF. Gran Hamada wasn't good or a draw. That's why he's getting a pity induction.
>>19282501Oh, so these guys are just faggots.
>>19281995Why should jew Dave put womeme in the HOF? Women can't wrestle
>>19285191Dave has "historical significance" as one of the criteria. He has also said "longevity should be a prime consideration"
>>19285311The most important criteria are match quality and drawing power.
>>19282501Not even a Mercedes stan but she's had like 10 years of consistently putting out 4 star matches when fucking AJ Lee and the bellas were at the top when she came through.
>>19285367>she's had like 10 years of consistently putting out 4 star matches
>>19285191The historians and lucha guys have high praise for Hamada's work and say he main evented at least 28 shows in Mexico with over 10,000. His 70s stuff mostly isn't on video and isn't all documented but he was a big player for hot promotions
>>19284906Toyota was a spot monkey. Aja was fucking awesome
>>19285536Obviously not a popular opinion since it took so long for him to get in.
>>19285182Sting doesn't belong in a legit pro wrestling HOF. He's like Don Mattingly or Tiki Barber. A good team player and the face of their franchise, but just not great enough for the Hall of Fame. He was at the helm during the decline and fall of WCW and had a disastrous run in TNA where he never drew a single dime.
bump
>>19284906Like the other anon said, Toyota was a spot monkey. Aja could work as a monster heel or a babyface despite her look. She was incredible.
>>19281995last time a woman entered his life too.
>>19286612>>19285549Cope. Toyota is the female goat. Erika is a fatty who killed every promotion she was pushed in.
>>19285554Dave has changed the process over the years and Hamada got in via the "I Followed Wrestling In Mexico" section of the ballot. His newer younger subscribers who have the "popular opinion" that the Young Bucks are early hall of famers aren't voting in that category. Also, more info became known over the years about Hamada being a draw in Mexico via people looking into old newspapers, etc.
>>19284958No name from the dark age. That's like asking where's Ayumi Kurihara
>>19285580Mattingly is only not in because of injury while Sting was on national TV into his 60s. As has been well documented, WCW was nearly always a mess behind the scenes with radio ads not airing until a week after a house show had taken place, for one example of thousands.
>>19281995meanwhile no woman has ever entered Meltzer’s bed
>>19282057and also Steely Dan’s best album
>>19287996Not true
How are the Hardyz polling less than the Briscoes and ZSJ?Seriously someone explain this me.
>>19288884Because its voted by Meltzer and his '''''journalist''''' friends. Group of subhumans with a fetish for Japan and indie outlaw mudshows.
>>19281995Meltzer doesn't nominate. It comes from a panel of>Retired wrestlers>Active wrestlers>Legacy wrestling personalities (bookers, on screen people, writers, producers)>Other journos
>>19288884See>>19288928Just because you're over with the fans doesn't mean you're over with the old guard
>>19288928The retired wrestlers are the only ones with any sense. They voted en masse against the young bucks getting in.
>>19288985Okay?
>>19289027Gonna cry?
>>19288985Retired wrestlers have brain damage and are salty that wrestling isn't the same as it was in the 70s and 80s? Yup, checks out. Young Bucks are based.
>>19289030Nope, you sound a little upset though. What you got against the Bucks?
>>19281995>No Sherri Martell Shit Women's HOF
>>19289032>>19289036this chomo is crashing out
>>19289062I accept your concession.
>answers to chomo
>>19289052She should be on the Mount Rushmore of managers, she wasn't a self-mark like her male counterparts
>>19282582Terminal smarkism should be in the DSM-5.
Who cares what Dave thinks?
