Now that she's gone, I wonder if WWE would ever consider it.

Me personally I think she should be. Her heat was straight up nuclear at one point. Pretty impressive for someone who came in with basically no wrestling background and was merely the wife of a wrestler.

Nah. People say she was a heat magnet, but it isn't because the fans loved to hate her.
Yea but how many heels do people actually love to hate anymore? Fans have been cheering heels like this more than they ever have and it's becoming even harder to get legitimate heat. It's as if today you have to have something that the fans legitimately hate about you to get massive heat(Batista, Triple H, Steph). That fact that fans actually hated her I don't really see how it's a bad thing anymore.

Hell yes she deserves to be in the HOF. It's even more amazing that she did it without any "help" from her husband or his family name, was raising 3 children by herself, had no twenty-something bikini model looks going for her, and had thick enough skin to be taunted for all the fat/ugly jokes (I wouldn't like people treating my mom like that). She's able to work a crowd in a way that 75% of the male wrestlers can't. She's the female equivalent of Paul Heyman in promo credibility. And as a business, you can't underestimate how much having female performers draws female viewers (it's no coincidence that boys listen to songs with male singers and girls listen to songs sung by females).

If you assess her body of work in wrestling objectively, then no. Sure, she had a good run and her heat was off the charts while she was with Edge, but a lot of the rest of her stuff boiled down to saying "excuse me!"

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if she does get inducted at some stage, considering Vince has bent over backwards to look after her since she lost Eddie.

Wait, did you just say that she's as good as Paul Heyman? In a promo??? Or did i interpret your post wrong...?Oh, and please explain how Vickie could draw female viewers?

OT: I think she's a fine candidate for HOF, not the most deserving woman, but not the least deserving either, she's a good heel for a diva IMO

Vickie not getting inducted into the HOF would be spitting on Eddie's grave

A heel's job is to get booed, if you are cheering them, they aren't doing their job right.
That's not completely true. In today's WWE, most of the babyfaces are super boring with no character. It's not completely their fault, but still. The heels have characters and personalities so I guess they appeal more to people.

To answer the question, I don't think she should be inducted. She didn't really leave that big of an impact imo. But, I won't be surprised if she does make it in.

Yeup. I don't really care about whether she "Deserves" it or not, but she's certainly done enough to be in there.

She will get inducted eventually, but I think she has one more run left in her .. wondering if she comes back after finishing up on whatever new thing she's doing now.

Considering divas/woman and the HoF you wouldn't need a extensive career. She'll be in within 15+ years. Plus it might be the first married couple to ever go into the HoF which would be something they will exploit to get people watching.
