      If the guy exists, clearly he had the power to stop these two from aging.
      I know I'm in the minority, but I always found older skankier Brittany more appealing than young skanky Brittany.

        Yeah, you're definitely in the minority of that one.

        I swear Spears turned like 95% of the boys in my 6th-7th grade classes into men.

        I always preferred Mandy Moore myself, but school girl Britney was fucking amazing.

          Bob Armstrong was your typical southern fried regional geek, never a huge star, usually the second babyface or top face in a weak territory, mediocre worker, decent talker but very generic. Never worked for either McMahon. I just don't get that one. His kid is just a ref in the company, and Road Dogg isn't exactly in good graces with the E, so I don't even see the political connection. Brad and Steve never even worked for McMahon. Brad was by far the best worker in the family (although Scott was a good undersized jobber type), but obviously Brian had all the charisma because the other 3 brothers had ZERO.

            Yeah that's one of the more perplexing ones. Koko B. Ware was the beginning but they've officially jumped the shark with the Hall of Fame.

              James Dudley is still the worst, he was Vince Sr's limo driver who got in as a "manager" because he was the token black guy they would use when they needed a manager for guys like Ernie Ladd and Bobo Brazil. He basically got in because he was a nice guy that everybody behind the scenes loved.

              Baron Mikel Scicluna was a 70's jobber, same with Johnny Rodz, they were even lower on the pecking order than KoKo B Ware.

              I mean jeez, at least KoKo was a territory star and hot when he first showed up circa 1986, he was probably as high as the 4th or 5th babyface before he became jobber to the stars. He's as undeserving as they come, and yet he was 1000 times the star as some of these other guys.

              Vince loves those Hulkamania era mid card guys, there are tons of them in the HOF.

                The biggest mistake is letting in, what, 5-6 guys per year. Slow down... you don't have that many guys to choose from.

                  Agreed.

                  2 or 3 deserving members, and that way they can actually talk for more than 10 minutes.

                  The ship has sailed, I don't even think Vince takes it seriously, its just a marketing gimmick at this point. Stick to WON.

                    Since they brought it back in 2004, it's been nothing BUT a marketing gimmick.

                    When they started it for Andre in 1993, it was to honor the guy and the few classes they did afterwards. I recall those ceremonies getting a 30 second mention on RAWs and that was it.

                    Don't worry about who's in and who's not because it doesn't matter. It's all about who Vince wants in on any given day.

                      It's amazing what a different crowd makes for a TNA event. There was energy and excitement in the building this IMPACT. Their setup was very WCW-ish, but it was still good. Unfortunately, they blew it with an excessive amount of segments that ultimately went nowhere and in the few matches they did have they had some of the worst wrestlers on display.

                        The one time I flipped TNA on last night, Ink Inc was on and that always means immediate channel change.

                          WrestleMania is in Atlanta.
                          Bullet Bob was a "top" babyface in the south east, namely Georgia (IIRC, from Georgia, too...don't recall).

                          That is why he is in.

                              Britney 19-22 was Britney in her prime.

                              Older Britney still looks great, obviously, but she's not what she was.

                              Give older Sunny credit, she seems to be trying hard after her depression weight gain (not being sarcastic ... apparently she put on a ton of weight after Chris Candido died - I wouldn't make fun of that).

                                RVD is also undefeated at WrestleMania, among a few others.
