Never going to put a man who comitted double murder into the Hall of Fame. Great wrestler, HOF career but his callous actions at his home that night will forever deny him any sort of recognition from WWE.
Sorry cobber missed the mark on this one. Zero reward for his actions- now, tomorrow or ever

He clearly wasn't completely insane because he put Bibles next to his wife, son, and himself. He should not and will never ever go into the Hall of Fame. If you think otherwise I can't imagine that you are married or have children. If he had committed suicide that's one thing but this is forever inexcusable. 100% Agreed, he will NEVER be in the HOF, and deserves no such honor. Period.

2014, no. Will he possibly get inducted? Maybe, but it would be another 20-30 years from now after the whole incident has completely blown over.
Blink is 100% correct. Chris was my favorite wrestler, but he ruined his own reputation.
Due to the length of this "blog" i kind of feel as if it is to garner some heat or start a debate. We've all bee up and down this road together several times. We've argued. We've fought. Some people even got banned over this topic. I dont feel as if i speak for everyone here on ewn but we all agree that he was an in ring genious. He was a 5 star performer and had a hall of fame worthy career. Now personally, and i know many agree with me, wwe did the right thing bu severing ties with him. He will never be in the hall of fame. Simply because he murdered his wife and son. Its as simple as that. You can claim brain damage and this and that but there isnt a single person alive that can prove that chris wasnt in control of his actions. Im not saying he was but it cant be proven otherwise and honestly, inducting him or celebrating his in ring work would garner nothing bit the worst kind of publicity. As a publicly traded company, they cant have that. And its as simple as that.
