WWE Hall of Fame?

I saw a commercial for WWE hall of fame inductions.

How exactly does a sport that has rigged competition and rehearsed fights actually have a hall of fame?

They don't have a physical building, it's just something that they do before Mania every year as another way to sell tickets and make money. It's nice for a lot of the performers too because it's a night for them to be honored in front of their peers and have the crowds chant for them again.

Well think of it this way. A couple of years ago I remember there was something going on about a Harlem Globetrotter nominated for the basketball hall of fame. While games don't get more rigged thjan that you can't deny the skill along with the showmanship.

I'll remember that post if and when Brock Lesnar gets into the UFC hall of fame Darko :p

Haha, point taken. That's kind of like saying if a globetrotter goes and play's for the lakers and gets in. It's just different to me.

If Lesner does get in though it's because he's actually trained in MMA and doing the event, and actually whopping the shit out people. I hate that man though... here's hoping Shane Carwin kicks his ass next month, although I doubt it.

Oh I hate Lesnar myself because to me he's a glory seeker. Suddenly he didn't want to be with WWE anymore after he was told he wasn't going to be getting the title back anytime soon. Then it was his dream to be a football player...until he didn't make the Vikings main team.

Now it's UFC and MMA, but let's see what happens when he loses that title. Is Brock going to stick with it this time? Or will he once again take his ball and go home and try something else?

It's funny because he actually would have made the Vikings too, but like every other player he would have had to sit on the bench for a year probably and he didn't like that. It's like he didn't want to face the fact that he was going to be a rookie no matter what he did. Rumor has it he and UFC president Dana White had it out after Lesners first fight. Lesner already wanted a title shot... Dana white caved in like a little bitch too.

In MMA he has shown nothing to me, and he will loose and I don't think it's far away. I want Carwin to destroy him but I am not so sure he will. The best bet is to see who wins the Frank Mir VS. Cheick Congo Fight in Decemeber because chances are whoever wins that will get Lesner next, and Mir has beat him before so he can do it again.

I really want to see Lesnar humbled and then see if he goes crying back to Vince and the worked sport. Lesnar is an ultra-competitive person, or at least so sayeth the press kit. But it's also pretty obvious Lesnar has a massive ego as well and he may end up being a case of a guy that could have meant a hell of a lot in any sport or entertainment form he chose to involve himself in, but will ultimately mean nothing because of his constant and irrational demands to always be the star and the centerpiece of whatever he does like it's some kind of divine right.
