There are members of WWE hall of fame which never stepped into a ring of WWE - for example Abdulla the butcher. But of course the hall of famers are legends of wrestling (except Koko B. Ware).

So, should they induct Shane Douglas? He has written wrestling history by throwing down the NWA belt and calling the foundation of ECW.

If Abdullah the Butcher who practically never wrestled for WWE can only based on his wrestling career overall, so can Shane Douglas. I think Hall of Fame should become for all of wrestling and not just WWE and i think that's were they're heading right now.

Shane Douglas is someone who should have made it big but didn't so no, he shouldn't. Simply because in the world of wrestling, he isn't that big of a star outside of the ECW faithful and a few other stragglers.

Yeah. He should be inducted along with Yoshi Tatsu and Gillberg.

Come on, a dude who came to the ring with a bird on his shoulder is in the Hall of Fame... it has zero prestige anyway. Shane absolutely deserves to be in.

Yes. Just on the pure fact on what he did for ECW, throwing the NWA title down was one of the most revolutionary moments in the company, The HOF shouldn't just be about WWE it should also include any other televised companies. He was also amazing on the mic, good in ring and had a good gimmick in ECW. He could've been massive in WWF but the E' fucked it up by gimmick him a teacher gimmick.

Also if Koko B. Ware and DrewCarey's in there, why shouldn't Shane be in?

Easily. He's one of the best promo guys of all time but will he get inducted? Probably never. Jim Cornette has a better chance of getting inducted because at least Cornette was a manager in WWE for a while. Shane only had the Dean Douglas character for about 2 months.

the WWE will regret putting Koko in the HOF for no other reason than it put the bar so low that people will always say "well kokos in there, *wrestlers name* can get in."

Sorry I just dont think Shane is good enough to get in. Hes simply not a legend.

That's right, but: In the "WWE Encyclopedia - The Definitive Guide to World Wrestling Entertainment by Brian Shields and Kevin Sullivan (Mar 5, 2009)" Shane Douglas is mentioned tice: As Dean Douglas and also as Shane Douglas, and also the historic moment of throwing down the NWA belt is mentioned.

If being in the WWE hall of fame actually meant something and it was a prestigious honor that not just anybody could achieve I would say no to Shane Douglas. He was never really in the WWF in any serious means, and even though he was on top of ECW for a while he never had a huge impact on wrestling.

but, that's not the case. the WWE hall of fame doesn't mean shit, so throw Shane in there it's not like it matters.

Why would Shane Douglas be in the WWE hall of fame? Dean Douglas revolutionized the WWF? :no: He was great in ECW, but that's it. He had the look, he had the mic skills, but he got screwed by WWF creative with a shitty gimmick + he had a horrible attitude over the years. He doesn't deserve it.

Revolutionizing WWF/WWF is not a requirement to be inducted. Why did they induct Sunny? What about Terry Funk? Terry had his biggest time outside of WWE!

There are obviously many reasons to call Shane into the hall of fame. He was one of the big faces of ECW. And ECW now belongs to WWE - as a matter a fact. So they should honor those wrestlers.
