Mike Tyson named to the WWE Hall of Fame

Gang, we are not shy about our distaste for the "Celebrity Wing" of the WWE Hall of Fame.  Combined the four inductees have competed in two matches and would have less than three hours of TV time (the majority of which was Bob Uecker's appearances at Wrestlemania 2 and 3).  With that said, if they are going to have this wing, the least they could have are people who have given more of their time to the WWE.   We finally have a celebrity inductee we can finally justify.

Mike Tyson was not just the special "enforcer" at the main event of Wrestlemania 14 between Shawn Michaels and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin; he was very much an active participant in the match.  More importantly for our purposes, Tyson lent his time to two months of television leading up to it; even going as far as to become an on screen member of D-Generation X.  By doing so, he helped spike ratings (at a time when his name still had value, and the WWE needed it), and led more intruige to the match.  Tyson has always openly loved wrestling and has been on record saying that it was the most fun he ever had in a ring.    We sincerely congratulate Mike Tyson for entering the WWE Hall of Fame, and we congratulate the WWE for making a legitimate choice to their celebrity wing.
