Senator didn't want in while he was still admin. It was too self-congratulatory for everyone's favorite Fire Pro addict.

Senator is a glaring omission. So Senator.
I think he's the only one who really needs to be in that isn't yet, but I wouldn't object to any of the other names mentioned.

Senator, RDK, Wyvern, Starkweather, Hunter, Scoot Andrews, Kudo Ysauda, FSX and XS3; *Over here Mainer for HOF Discussion* In my mind, those are the ones with the sufficient longevity and impact to be considered Hall of Famers. When I was on the original HOF committee, the whole idea at the time was to honor those who stood out from everyone, by being the most influential and having the most accolades. Today as I type this, I would be content on seeing people who were with ACW for a long time, who really participated, regardless if they won or lost - as long as they had a memorable presence. That said, you take someone like Mark (sorry Mark), who was nearly almost here ALL THE TIME. He did his best, wrote good things, but never had the top spot. Does he deserve the HOF? Absolutely. Using that logic, Mr. Red should certainly be in. Thunder Train should certainly be in. This logic applies to Scooty and Kudo YAAAAAAAAAAASUDDDDDDA. There are names on that list, and you know who I am thinking, were impactful. However, one of them screwed more than one person and well, Pete Rose is not in the HOF for a reason. One was not in ACW for that long (2 years should certainly be the cut off), and the other one probably deserves it, but there are more valid people that should go in prior. RDK and FSX should certainly go in before these names. And I cannot believe nobody has even mentioned Ben (Jay Zero) expect me. Freeman slobs all over his knob for his title run. If Jay Zero doesn't get in this class you are all smoking crack. As far as this part of the show goes, I don't want there to be a committee. I never wanted that - EVER. I want EVERYONE to vote, but you crackerjacks are having a hard time COUNTING TO THREE. So do you guys want more than three in? I mean, we can't just include EVERYONE. However, I think Senny should be a LOCK. Do we REALLY need to vote for him? I cannot see anyone saying no. How about we include Senator as a lock, and everyone votes for the three people they want? |

I think the problem is its hard for me to judge guys that I wasn't around for. How do I compare Jay Zero to Hunter or RDK when I never saw most of their work? Yeah our tenures overlapped (Hunter was around for a while I guess) but the bulk of their success I wasn't there for, so it's hard for me to judge.

You can either vote for whom you deem worthy, or not vote at all. You can always make a case for someone, as I just did for Zero. There should be no hard feelings in this 1. The care level has decreased. 2. People realize that opinions, as you said, will vary due to a wide variety of experiences. |

Also, honestly the only reason I didn't say Zero was longevity's sake. He didn't stay long after his match with BK and his championship reign, which is a shame, because he was on such a roll then. His time as a main eventer was pretty short. Like I've said it was one of my favorite ACW title reigns ever, and he's also one of my favorite ACW members OOC as well. It's not that he isn't deserving or anything. Looking at the names on the list, I just feel he falls slightly short. But if we are going to induct more members he certainly isn't a bad choice.
