Worse than Cody and Punk not getting in (Which ok I can see)...is this :
Might need to have a convo about the voters from the past decade. From what I understand its fellow wrestlers and writers...who are these wresters voting? lol They definetly vote in Japan and Indie guys super early (Kenny in 2020, Naito, Ibushu, Okada all from 2020-2022) but wwe they kinda chill on. Roman you coudnt really deny cause of the number of Wrestlemanias he headlined and he was pushed heavy.
But the last active WWE guys who got in were Brock in 2015, Danielson in 2016, AJ in 2017. AJ dont even count as a WWE guy at that point and Brock and Bryan you sort get.
Compared that with 20 years ago when Kurt Angle got in 2004 after only 4 years in the business, Triple H in 05 and its weird.
Even more weird is the lack of women. Im looking at the Observer entrees on Wiki so it might be wrong but like...aint no women been in that shyt since 2002? (Manami Toyota)
Trish, Lita, Gail Kim, no Stardom women, Becky, Charlotte, Sasha....Like they meet the qualifications but arent in?
This thing kinda stinks now lol
