The rec.sport.pro-wrestling Hall of Fame is a storied institution
started by
Scott Henrichs in 2005. Many great posters of years past joined its
ranks during
its existence, but one stood above all: the first member, John Henry,
who was
voted in in October 2005, beating out Chad Bryant, Jeff Amdur, David
E. Powell,
Hack-Man, Satyr, FunkyM, Liz Michael, Krusty, Alex Cain, Bede, Bob
Barnett,
Christopher Robin Zimmerman, Brent Higinbotham, Herb Kunze, Torrey M.
Spears,
Brian Pillman, Chris Jericho, Jslater, Marc Mero, Pete Panaro, Scott
Keith, Zoogz
Rift, Disco Inferno, Gryphon, Marc Ash, Don Martin, and more.
Recent information has come to light regarding John Henry's highly
inappropriate
sexual preferences. Other information, such as alleged scams
perpetrated against
sick and dying women, physical abuse of women, and drug use, has also
colored
this newsgroup's perception of him.
Other Hall of Fame enterprises have enacted suspensions or removals of
members
based on their conduct in the public sphere. Notably, WWE removed Hulk
Hogan from
its Hall of Fame in response to his use of racial slurs, and Jimmy
Snuka for
being convicted of murdering his wife.
John Henry's Hall of Fame status has been used by some in this
newsgroup as a
fundraising tool, but in light of John's own confession today, it is
time for a
reassessment.
Please vote now on whether John Henry's Hall of Fame membership should be
maintained, suspended, or revoked.
If you feel he should remain in the HoF, respond with MAINTAIN.
If you feel he should be suspended, respond with SUSPEND.
If you feel his membership should be revoked, respond with REVOKE.
To avoid abuse, only regular recent posters to the newsgroup may vote.
Other than
that, there are no restrictions -- anyone who has participated in the
newsgroup
recently has a voice.
The voter roll is as follows:
Davey Zimmerman #274
A dead horse
Ja-Son-Wan-Kenobi Has the High Ground
Family Guy
robert stickler
Janithor
Laz Mann
Skeeter
P-Dub
Terrence Clay

Wait, I'm rescinding this vote. What was the confession? I didn't see it.
