    The guy was okay in the ring (when he was sober at least). But yeah... I never bought him as a main eventer. A solid mid-card guy sure.

    It's a shame he became the face of TnA. I think it always made them feel second rate, to me at least.

    and honestly, if Koko B Ware and the Big Boss Man are in the HOF, can you really say you shouldn't put J E Double F J A Double R E Double T in there?

    I'd definitely say JJ deserves to be in there. He had a successful enough wrestling career on top of being the founder of TnA. The later alone justifies a place in the history books.

    But I wouldn't put him in year. It wasn't that long ago where the guy wasn't fired for showing to shows in no condition to perform. He shouldn't be awarded for that sort of lack of professionalism with a Hall of Fame Induction. I'd at least wait a year or more.

    how about that?

    that's intriguing

    Murphy dropped off the planet after that tag team broke up and Alexa went to the main roster, and he's a bruiser not a flyer

    part of what i'm talking about when i say the guy's a con man. he still has people convinced he had to be on top in the early days of TNA because of his "name value". his name carried no value, it might've even devalued the show.

    and then you know the whole using his company as part of a pyramid scheme.

    it wouldn't be an injustice if he is or never is in the WWE hall of fame.

    Though I don't watch the show, I imagine he pops up in Total Divas now and then since he's dating (engaged?) to Alexa Bliss. I imagine it was only a matter of time before he popped up somewhere.

    I do watch Total Divas on occasion and he has shown up there, basically because he and alexa have not set a date yet and its causing some issues

    Murphy better put a ring on it considering there are tons of dudes out there that would be after Alexa if they should break up.

    Honestly, I'm half convinced bring with Bliss is the main reason he still has a job. They were the most generic NXT champs in history.

    at the beginning, other way around

    she had tried a "country girl" type gimmick before, had brunette hair and everything before her NXT debut with the glitter and all that

    she was almost out until she got put with them, and lo and behold, she's the one that catches fire and they disappeared into obscurity for a bit

    one of the recent TD episodes, Buddy was like "yeah I was in construction before, I could always go back to that if I get released"

    That's ok. The division needs more different styles of wrestlers. It makes you feel like you're not watching the same match when watching 205 Live.

    and Im fine with that - the division does need more brawler and grappler types - look at Drew Gulak, he went HARD at Tony Neese last night

    Yeah Drew is the perfect example. He stands out--not just because of his gimmick/mic skills but because he's different from most of them in the ring as well. (But still really good at what he does)

    I think you might be right. It similar to how Sasha's husband still has a job with WWE.
