Putting the celebrity wing debate aside, these two inductions are among the reasons why I don't take the WWE Hall of Fame too seriously. Drew Carey made just one appearance in WWE, and Pete Rose is a convicted tax evader who also had a gambling problem which resulted in him being made permanently ineligible to go into the hall of fame of his own sport. And of course, there's also Mike Tyson: convicted rapist.

 

Do not forget the Abdullah the Butcher induction, that sparked many negatives responses, even from HoF inductees http://www.wwe.com/superstars/abdullahthebutcher.

Carey made a couple of appearances, and Rose's gambling wasn't really why he is still banned. He is still banned (and not in the Baseball HoF) because of other reasons, mostly that people don't like him. 

 

Tyson, though, I agree 100%. 

Carey definitely made more than one appearance? I looked around and could only find the 2001 Royal Rumble.

Oh god, I forgot about him. Thanks for mentioning that.

This is one of the saddest videos I've ever watched. It's shocking to see what drugs and alcohol can do to a person and it's even more shocking to see one of the legends in wrestling entertainment having these issues... I feel so damn sorry for him, I grew up with him and Nash and the others and he is one of the few wrestlers I was hoping to see in a ring one last time...and hear that "hey yo!" one more time... Jesus...

Welcome to 2012? 

He's spent quite a while with Diamond Dallas Page and is on the road to recovery, and has done some appearances.

Basically, he's on the same plan that Jake Roberts is on, and you saw his appearance at Old School Raw last month.

I know, but how does this change the way he was, as shown in that video? You don't need to be sarcastic, I don't live in the stone age, I was pointing out what these addictions can do to a man and how Hall really turned out to be "the bad guy" in real life too.

Uh, being an addict doesn't make you 'bad'.

Dude, you must be really fun to hang out with. 

P.S. It's E60 on the video, not E:60. You know, trying to keep up with the useless comments and all.

 

Why, because I don't like people saying dumb ****? Ok then.

 

And no, it isn't. Go and look again. They titled that video wrong on YouTube. If you look at the video itself, its E:60.

 

God, people are crazy if they think that he would fight in MMA. He wants to retire early from wrestling (regardless of the last couple of weeks) because of the rigors on his body, and he, by all accounts, has saved a ton of money. He's not going to shoot fight.

^ Definitely someone else; I'm not a part of Meme Gene Okerlund. :P I noticed as well no TNA World Title (despite the X Division Title being here) and only one NXT Tag Team Title.

    • Microsoft releases major feature updates for stock Windows 11 apps

      Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
