[Spoiler Thread]: WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2010 - Page 4

There's no truth to the Stephanie rumors, if that's what you're referring to.

quote M_N_M48060

and you know this as a fact because you were there of course?

My disregard to rumors that have never been proven to be true has more weight behind it than you believing everything you read on the Internet. Don't be a stupid naive child. No charges were ever pressed against him. No criminal lawsuit ever came about. He was never fired from anything relating to the rumor. He wasn't fired period. He left WWF for WCW at the end of his contract. Vince even gave him a farewell speech on Monday Night RAW and he was featured on the 1994 December issue of WWF Magazine, well after he was already gone from the company. Vince was high on Macho Man all the way up to his departure. There's just bad blood between them, most of which appears to stem from after he left WWF to begin with.

The rumors are not even consistent to begin with, stating he actually committed statutory rape against a minor, others stating Vince himself found Macho Man in bed with Stephanie. Other variations stating before she was 18 others stating after she was the legal age which doesn't sound too accurate as the time frame is a small window from when he left WWF and when she turned 18. The rest of the rumors just imply he wanted to "tap that ass" and nothing came about it, some of these stemming from Macho Man talking shit in a shoot interview stating he'd slap the shit out of HHH and take Stephanie away from him. If he did do something with Stephanie, and she was a minor, and Vince found out well after he left the company, why wouldn't Vince try to sabotage WCW and Ted Turner's pocket book by pulling out a lawsuit against their newest acquisition?

If any of these rumors were true, why would Vince, holding this grudge as any father would, thereby release an Ultimate Collection DVD, which basically glorifies him last summer? Not only that, why would they release a bunch of his matches as well as feature him on the cover of "WWE: The Best of Saturday Night's Main Event" DVD?

The most logical theory of why he's blacklisted are the stories over how he took the Slim Jim sponsorship with him to WCW, which Vince could have used during this time of financial trouble what with his steroid scandal and losing sponsorships left and right, as well as WCW already stealing away Hogan and Flair prior. There are also stories how Vince felt utterly betrayed and double-crossed with Savage not resigning with WWF to begin with, and "rumors" they had a verbal agreement he wouldn't sign with WCW and the notion he would resign with WWF later (which would explain the farewell tribute on RAW as well as the magazine feature cover). Savage's ongoing character to be crazy in interviews where he continues to trash talk WWE, from his displeasure over how he was treated behind the scenes as well as those continuing to run the company, as well as the headbutting over the copyright of his career doesn't bode well for him to return either. How long has he been trying to get his website up and nothing's come about it because WWE owns all footage rights to his matches, with neither party wanting to budge to hand it over to the other? WWE wants to retain rights to Macho Man's legacy, and Randy Savage wants to retain the rights back. I don't even know who owns the actual rights to the "'Macho Man' Randy Savage" name, but I know Savage continues to use it, which would explain why WWE hasn't released anything in merchandise of him from their WWE Classics toy line, to being featured in Video Games. The fact they released a DVD has to be a sign of someone giving in somewhere, if that's Vince or Savage, who knows, but that certainly has to be a sign that Vince has lightened up on his resentment towards him.

There are tons of wrestlers who are not in the HOF who deserve to be there. Bruno Sammartino instantly comes to mind. Bruno hates Vince. Hates him and continues to turn down invitations to be inducted. He's still bitter, to this day, just recently having an interview on Bret's return to WWE where he mentions the displeasure of the direction Vince took professional wrestling as a whole. Why so much animosity; did he catch Vince in bed with his daughter too or something and is just masking this hatred with some petty bitterness over how wrestling evolved into the circus sideshow it is today?

i'm a little surprised no inductees were announced on raw... hmmm...

Who is inducting Stu Hart & Gorgeous George?

I'm pleased gorgeous George has been put it, he really was a way , way ahead of his time. an utter legend and pioneer. His first wife is accepting it because wasn't she the one who helped him come up with the gorgeous gimmick?

lol Gillberg was class, XD diddn't he win the light heavywieght title about 11 years ago? can't remember who from, probably from Tiger Ali Sigh

quote Iconic

Brets inducting Stu and the rest of his Family is accepting I think

No clue on George.. odd that his first wife is accepting though

Macho Man had sex with Stephanie? Yeah and Triple H had sex with Goldust's daughter.. Get Real

Think it's obvious Macho gave his word and backstabbed Vince.

He was one of his Big Main Eventers left. Probably swore up and down he'd come back.. Vince probably even paid him a large sum of money. Macho Man's a Macho Jackass.

Big main eventers... meh not really. Part of why Savage left is famously because he was being stuck as a colour commentator.

Another inductee announced last night, this one's "Juuuuuuust a bit outside..."
