Chris Jericho Says There’s No Real WWE Hall Of Fame

For many wrestlers being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame is a great honor, but throughout the years WWE has been selective regarding who gets inducted. Just because a wrestler has had a Hall of Fame worthy career that doesn’t necessarily mean they will be inducted someday.

During a recent appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Chris Jericho shared his thoughts on the WWE Hall of Fame while questioning whether or not an induction would even matter when it comes to his career.

I always like going against the grain. I loved when Axel Rose didn’t show up to the Hall of Fame and sent a note saying, ‘Not only am I not showing up, you’re not allowed to say my name.’ I love that s**t. That’s f***ing rock N roll, man. I don’t really understand the point of a Hall of Fame. If you think I’m in it, that’s great. There is no real Hall of Fame, it’s all in WWE’s mind and their chambers of the mind. Does it really matter if I’m in it or not? I go up there and give some approved speech where you have five minutes to encapsulate 33 years.

I was at the Hall of Fames when you had Hillbilly Jim talking for 45 minutes and you’re like, ‘F***ing hell dude, you were on Saturday Night’s Main Event once. You don’t have a lot to say. Enough.’ Nothing against Hillbilly Jim, he’s a cool guy and deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Then you get Undertaker, and he gets 50 minutes. I’m not interested in that at this point. It’s not a disrespectful thing. I don’t see the benefits of it and I kind of like doing opposite things.”
