Jim Ross Says Sid Eudy Deserves To Be In Regular WWE HOF, Calls Legacy Wing ‘A Joke’

I may be the wrong person to ask regarding this topic, as the WWE Hall of Fame is, to me, an unserious Hall of Fame, the same way any Hall of Fame where its inductees are decided on the whim of one person (instead of a voting committee) is. But ignoring that, and looking at this from the perspective of the WWE Hall of Fame mattering, I must conclude that Jim Ross doesn’t just make a good point, he makes several good points. The Legacy wing of the WWE Hall of Fame is a joke, a section of the Hall featuring people WWE wants to include but doesn’t want to make a big spectacle of honoring. And the only joke bigger than that is deciding that Sid Eudy, Sycho Sid of all people, belongs there and shouldn’t have been honored the same way Stephanie McMahon and AJ Styles were.

Even if you want to sit here and say that Sid wasn’t among the greatest wrestlers ever (he wasn’t), the rest of his resume proves he belongs. After all, Sid was a multiple time World Champion between WWE and WCW, and a guy who main evented not one, but two WrestleMania’s against the likes of Hulk Hogan and The Undertaker. All due respect to Koko B. Ware, but if that guy can get into the WWE Hall of Fame proper despite being a career midcarder, Sid should be able to get into the WWE Hall of Fame just via his one main event against Hogan. And the best he can get is the Legacy wing? It’s ridiculous, and no way to honor a guy who was so popular that he got fans to turn against Hogan in 1992 and Shawn Michaels in 1996. Jim Ross is absolutely right; it is a joke that this is all Sid gets. In fact, he may be too kind when he puts it that way.
