The Brawler is a legend. Granted he lost all the damn time, but at least he's remembered. Who the hell is Nick Bockwinkle?

Chad22 · 01-13-2007, 09:41 PM

The Bushwhackers? What the heck? I guess in 10 years they'll be inducting The Headbangers.

You think that's bad? They have Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali as finalists.

Nick Bockwinkle was a 7 time AWA World Heavyweight champion. One of the all time greats as a wrestler and as a talker.

They have a "Celebrity Wing" in the Hall of Fame.

What bull. No wonder Bruno Sammartino refuses to go to the Hall.

Even though the Bushwackers were a comedy team for the WWE, they were an extremely successful tag team in Canada and Puerto Rico as the violent team known as the Sheepherders.

Why the hell is Muhammad Ali is a finalist?! He was only in the first Wrestlemania. The Bushwackers (aka The Sheepherders) were bums. The Brooklyn Brawler (Steve Lombardi) shouldn't even be mentioned. I would nominate

S.D Jones

Wahoo McDaniel

Jerry "Crusher" Blackwell

Abdullah the Butcher

Slick (even though he didn't manage a champion)

Larry Zbysko

Larry "The Axe" Henning

J.J. Dillion

Kamala

Tony Shiavone

King Kong Bundy

Bruiser Brody

And you're right Brian, Nick Bockwinkle deserves to be nominated. He had good matches with Verne Gagne and Curt Henning. I miss the AWA. I use to watch them on Saturday mornings on ESPN in the mid 80s. I got that AWA legacy DVD that came out recently. It took me back.

Brad Russ · 01-14-2007, 12:36 AM

I think they should just do away with the celebrity wing of the Hall Of Fame. It's obviously a huge joke, when a guy like Mr. T. makes the Hall of Fame. I can just see all the mid carders who wrestled for 20 years, sitting at home watching Wrestlemania, going absolutely crazy, seeing someone like Mr T. get inducted into the Hall Of Fame. I like him, but he's definitely no Hall of Famer!!
