Are people seriously arguing for Lesnar in HOF? You guys are just busting balls right? No one really thinks this is legit, do they?

Seriously? Paul Heyman got over 20 fucking responses on an MMA forum?!?!?
What a bunch of marks...

You guys answered "who is Paul Heyman?" for me. Then I had to google "Sheldon Cooper."
I almost wish this was a Jon Jones or Michael Bisping thread.

But with it being the UFC HOF, I wouldn't doubt it.

If the UFC HOF meant anything to me, I'd waste the time to explain why lesnar shouldn't be in it. But Mask is in it already, so they might as well put Rachelle Leah in there, and let lesnar ride her coattails. Quote:

Is that guy in the WWE too? He looks so skinny!
rh | Paul Heyman is Brock Lesnars manager. He is a fat version of Jim Cornett (the mouthy nerd with the tennis racket). I believe he also managed Shelton Benjamin whom many claimed was in the olympics. I believe that was just a work unlike Kurt Angle whom actually went to the olympics and won a gold medal (he claims he did it with a broken neck).
Shelton Benjamin Shelton Benjamin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kurt Angle Kurt Angle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- has expressed interest in MMA but I don't see it happening.

In the WWE they were aligned with Kurt Angle (another olympian).

Seeing how it's an organization HOF and given the criteria that they use, I wouldn't be shocked if they inducted Lesnar. He put a lot of eye balls on the UFC and put a lot of money in their pockets too. He had some of the most watched fights in UFC history against the top heavyweights of the time. His record surely doesn't give him the credit for the impact he had. If there was an MMA HOF, I'd say hell no. Since all we have is the UFC HOF, I don't have a problem. Kind of like the difference between a beloved player get his jersey retired by a sports team even if his numbers aren't good enough to make it into that sport's HOF.

Heyman is also a pop culture journalist who covers (among other things) MMA.
An interesting side note is that he's helped some athletes with their Mic skills, including Shane Carwin.
