Must have had trouble when it was obviously time for him to beat Jarrett for the title, too.

This is the "official" Fediverse community for all things pro wrestling!
Come discuss pro wrestling! Any company or era is welcome.
Please ensure you have NSFW posts enabled or you may miss out on some threads. Bots are not used in this community.
Rules: (Click to expand)
1. Be Civil.
Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.
2. Keep content related to wrestling.
Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.
3. Spoilers.
Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it's there for a reason. Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred.
4. Vague/Editorialized Title.
Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.
5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.
Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren't.
6. Banned Source(s).

- WrestleVotes

I loved the Monty Brown character, but if he's moved on and it seems clear he has, it's time to respect that and let him do his own thing.
I do hope one day he will accept an offer to be inducted.
Fans need to realize one thing. It doesn't matter how much you love wrestling. It doesn't matter how much you love this wrestler or that wrestler. 100% of them, since the begining of carny days, have always viewed this as a business. This is their job. This is how they earn money. Nothing more.
Fans might argue over "this guy should have beat that guy". The only reason wrestlers care who beats them is because their whole paycheck is tied to their image.
If John Cena could have sold 3X the number of T-Shirts by getting pinned everynight, then he'd have had a gillberg run.
Monty Brown hasn't been a TNA wrestler for almost 20 years. Imagine if a job from 20 years ago called you and asked you to accept an award. They might pay you a bit of money for the night, but thats it.
For most wrestlers, Rhyno for example, when they get this hall of fame night, they can use it to drive sales of their post-career. They can charge more at conventions, because the convention doesn't advertise Rhyno. The convention advertises TNA Hall of Famer, Rhyno. That's extra money in Rhynos pay for that, and any future nights.
The hall of fame is meaningless. It's not a sport. They could put CM Punk in their hall of fame, even if he doesn't show, and only worked there for 2 months, 20 years ago. Doesn't mean anything.
But for Monty Brown, who's not doing conventions, it's extra meaningless because it's 1 night of trivial amount of money, but it doesn't help him in the future.
Go ask any fan who won the 1992 royal rumble, and they'll if they were old enough to see it live, they'll get nostolgic. They may even have a tear in their eye.
Now go ask Goldberg that same question. You think he gives a shit? The ONLY wrestler I can think of who treats wrestling as fans do, is Bret Hart.
To everyone else, this is a paycheck.
