During a recent interview with betideas.com, MVP offered a critical and filter look on the WWE Hall of Fame. Although he acknowledged that the ceremony fulfills a symbolic function to honor veterans, it made it clear that it does not consider recognition as a legitimate if there is no structure or coherence behind.
One of his main criticism was absence of clear criteria For inductions. According to him, there is no defined logic for who enters and who is not. “Did they already put the male man? I don't think Randy Savage is. So if Savage is not there, who should be? ”WWE ex -lock questioned, in reference to the delay (or alleged omission) of legends in the official list.
“My photo is already on the wall of Ribera Steakhouse. I am already in the Hall of Fame and with that it is enough for me, ”MVP said, marking his position with an ironic but firm tone. MVP insisted that his position is not born from the resent.“ I do not say this with bad intention. I have no enmity towards WWE. I went well there, I only had problems with a person, that's another topic. But About the Hall of Fame … It's just something that makes you feel good. There are no real criteria to be there“.
In addition, the now member of AEW's roster pointed out that The lack of a physical headquarters For the Hall of Fame is what remains value. “There is no building, nor a place where you can see the induced members. It is rather an idea, a psychological concept of Hall of Fame.”
Even so, he acknowledged that the annual event has a valid purpose: “It is a beautiful celebration. An opportunity to give flowers in life to many talents, so that they are respected and cheered by fans and their families.” However, he concluded with a sharp reflection: “If one day there is a physical place, there would change my opinion. But in the meantime, if Randy Savage is not inside, does anyone really deserve it?
Randy Savage was included at the WWE Hall of Fame
It should be noted that MVP made a mistake in stating that “Macho Man” Randy Savage has not been included in the WWE Hall of Fame. Savage was officially included in 2015at a ceremony held on March 28 of that year, the night before Wrestlemania 31. The presentation was made by Hulk Hogan, and the recognition was accepted by Savage's brother, Lanny Poffo.
For years, Savage's absence in the Hall of Fame was a matter of debate among fans and wrestling experts. Its inclusion in 2015 was received as an act of justice for one of the most emblematic figures of professional wrestling.
