Jim Ross recently did a Q and A on his blog and spoke on a wide variety of topics. One of these topics was the controversial question if Chris Benoit should be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. If you are unfamiliar with Chris Benoit, he was an incredible wrestling talent but is known mostly for the murder suicide of his family. Jim Ross answered this question and also if he thinks Sami Zayn will be a main event talent in the WWE.
If Chris Benoit should be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame:
“Old question with the same answer…if Chris could chime in I feel that he would not want to be inducted due to it becoming a distraction and all about the final days of his life and not about his in ring contributions” (Source: JRSBARBQ).
I think there is a 0 percent chance that we ever see Chris Benoit in the WWE Hall of Fame. I think the WWE wants to distance themselves from that situation as it would be a PR nightmare for them. The only people that think it will or should happen is dedicated Chris Benoit fans who grew up loving him. I think any other fans think it won’t happen.
His thoughts on Sami Zayn being a main event talent:
“Zayn is a main eventer in waiting and he’s likely not going to be waiting long. Talented, dedicated pro” (Source: JRSBARBQ).
I really hope Sami Zayn is a main eventer. I really think he is incredible talent and could really be successful as a top guy. I think he is very fun to watch and an incredibly hard worker. I hope the WWE realizes that he is an absolute stud and has a successful WWE career.
Let me know your thoughts on either of these topics!
