I'm not so sure about that though. I think you could make a case for everyone I mentioned in passing as being just as important as the names I actually put on my list.



:dwillhuh: I had no idea.

If I remember correctly only Lobo, Chris Cash, Trent Acid, Wifebeater and Zandig are in. Its more of a memorial/retirement gesture but it does exist. It only occurred to me yesterday when thinking about TNA's.


Davey is good and all but HOF worthy? Nah. His story was good but there's many pioneers who should go in before him. As awesome as Davey is he's not groundbreaking like the above mentioned. He would definitely deserve a spot later on though.

I'd put Kobashi in off the two matches he had :yeshrug:

I couldn't argue for them over most others listed but Generico and Jacobs are two of my favourites in ROH history, so I'd have them. Jacobs has had some low points though :guilty: Gibson had a pretty good run. Dragon/Briscoes and Joe would be the top three to me though.

:laugh: CZW Hall of Fame

I'm not even sure what to say about that.

On topic though, I'm kinda surprised no one mentioned Kevin Steen in here.

And he shouldn't be mentioned as anything other than in the "Potential" pile along with Davey, Eddie and the like. What has he done that was truly significant in ROH history. He can't get in for being a part of the first Ladder War and being a part of one of the best feuds in the history promotion isn't enough, in my opinion (why do you think I haven't mentioned Jacobs? He has more of a case than Steen, I believe).

He's strictly in the second tier of candidates.

The Steenerico feud is pretty much regarded as ROH's best ever though.

He's long surpassed Jimmy Jacobs in my opinion, especially now that he's World Champion.

Really? Better than Joe v. Punk? ROH v. CZW?

Even if you believe that (no reason that you shouldn't), I still don't believe that he's above that second tier HoFer. First tier is reserved for Punk, Joe, Danielson, Daniels, Silkin, Sapolsky, Homicide...guys like that. Not trying to tear Steen down, I just don't think he's on that level yet.
