The world of professional wrestling was abuzz recently when AEW wrestler Brian Cage sparked controversy with a snarky comment regarding his potential induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. The induction, considered one of the most prestigious achievements in professional wrestling, has been a topic of discussion among wrestling fans and wrestlers alike.
Cage’s comment came during a recent interaction at Steel City Con, where he was asked if he was looking forward to being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. His response was met with quick reactions from fans, with some supporting his sentiment and others criticizing him for being arrogant. Cage’s reply, which pointed out the lack of a physical brick-and-mortar ‘Hall of Fame’, was seen as dismissive and sparked a heated debate among fans.
The WWE Hall of Fame has inducted several iconic wrestlers over the years, including legends like Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair. However, there are still several notable wrestlers from the Attitude Era who have yet to be inducted, including The Rock, The Hardy Boyz, and Christian. Interestingly, Christian’s real-life friend Adam Copeland, also known as Edge, was inducted in 2012.
Matt Hardy, who recently completed his stint in AEW, also shared his thoughts on the WWE Hall of Fame during an episode of his podcast, The Extreme of Matt Hardy. Hardy believes he could get inducted into the Hall of Fame on his own merit, separate from his achievements as a tag team with his brother Jeff Hardy.
Rumors have been circulating about Matt Hardy’s potential return to WWE, which could potentially lead to an induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. However, it remains to be seen if the notable wrestlers who have yet to be inducted will ever receive the recognition they deserve.
The debate sparked by Cage’s comment raises questions about the relevance and significance of the WWE Hall of Fame. Is it a badge of honor, or simply a publicity stunt? The wrestling world will continue to speculate and discuss the matter, as the debate rages on about who deserves to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
