When you take in all that wrestlers go through (getting beat up every night, basically living on painkillers, getting to see their families a few eeks a year), I think the best of the best deserve a Hall of Fame. I treat it more like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame than the Baseball Hall of Fame. And if they didn't induct performers that took steroids, it would be a small Hall.

Do you induct McGwire into the fame because he hit so many homeruns or do you not induct him because he took steroids. Same issue with OJ. To me really, it's a joke the wrestling federations have a hall of fame to begin with though. They're actors, not wrestlers.
