[@connordripps2173]

The Hall of Fame is a joke. Much like Scott Steiner said because of the heat he had with HHH but I guess cooler heads prevailed and Rick Steiner's Bron Breaker inducted them. The Hall used to be people who were a part of the WWE in some capacity either behind the scenes or actual Superstars. Now you have the "Celebrity wing" which I think is a joke above all else. You also got people who had a 20-30 year grudge against Vince but over time, water was under the bridge by the time they were inducted. People like: Hulk Hogan, Jesse Ventura, Verne Gange, "Superstar" Billy Graham, Bret Hart, Bruno Sammartino, Ultimate Warrior, Jeff Jarrett, Medusa and Roddy Piper. It's a shame that the Hall of Fame went from inducting actual, legitimate people who worked for Vince Sr and Vince Jr to having celebrities in the Hall of Fame.

And the man who people that don't think Jim is the best ever, usually see at the top of the mountain - Bobby Heenan- repeatedly categorically declared that Jim is the best.

That's weird. In 2000, Storm was booked as US Champion, Cruiserweight Champion(and US Champion). He main evented shows against the World Champion(Booker T) where it was believable that he could win. He then went to WWF/E, where he was an undercard janitor. And then, WWE encouraged fans to chant "Boring" during his matches.

I bet Jim thinks the Russo-Japanese war started because he thought sh*tstain went and did some of the booking in Japan.

[@fjccommish]

Jim: "They were already short handed over there. Hell, their whole country is a small island, no bigger than Godzilla's foot - what the hell is Godzilla, a T-Rex? What did Shitstain have them do? Kamikaze shit - crash their planes into the enemy. The allies were shooting bullets, while Vinny Ru had the Japanese using their own damn people as bullets. How the F many people do they have on that island? Not enough to fire them off like ammunition! Jesus Christ! They were hari-kariying themselves - that's cutting out their own guts whenever they did something embarrassing. So they brought in Russo, I think they called him Vin San or some Japanese shit like that - and his solution was to double down on the disembowling - more killing themselves. How long can you fight like that before you plain run out of people? I know people will say "Jim, how would you a done it?" I don't know. I don't claim to be a military mastermind like the Japanese had, Sun Tzu and the Art of War..." Brian: "He was Chinese." Jim: "Well I don't know what the hell! I don't claim to be him or whoever the Japanese have like him, but I'dda...I don't know...they were already cutting out their bowels, so throw that at people - fire it off in cannons or some shit. Sure,, that too. It's full of diseases, you can make the enemy soldiers sick. Just whatever the fuck - don't shoot your people at 'em! Another brilliant plan from Shitstain. Somehow he ran off his mouth, made up another story about writing the Geneva Convention or some treaty or the Gettysburg Address so they hired him to be in charge of the whole shebang, and as usual he fucked it up cause he can't spell, he can't write his way out of a paper bag much less a war plan, and if he was on the battlefield he'd be like a fool in paradise whistling dixie cause he doesn't know a bullet from his cousin who he probably married, and he had the Japanese shoot theirs at the enemy! Hey, I know, let's go find people who have nuclear bombs and piss them off at us! Typical Russo bullshit - he ruined the wrestling business and lost the Russo Japanese war, and I've been talking about WW2 because he gets me so angry just thinking about his bullshit that I can't think straight. So what the fuck, next question."

@@christophersuswal9544 same thing for russo. he was head of creative when wwe was at its peak so now that wwe is losing its fans people would naturally turn to the guy who was successful for his opinions

[@christophersuswal9544]

@@ucey-mi2wr To a degree. Russo, to me had the writers dream of writing out TV and ppv with very small amounts of hands on connection to the actual business side of it and interactions with talent. He had that in WCW and failed miserably.

Watch Kane's introduction, then watch King of the Mountain match (like a ladder match, but you have to pin someone to become eligible to climb up the ladder and hook it up).

@@TheGrimmCommoner Did he? According to who? Was he even working in TNA when the first one happened? Do you also blame Russo for Mae Young giving birth to a hand in WWF? Maybe it was Russo in that Puerto Rican locker room in 88 as well....
