I like Owen Hart, but he isn't a glaring omission, majority of his career is at midcard but he's on the same level as Curt Henning and is a bigger name than Koko. So, using the lowered standard they'll probably let him in, provided the WWE is around 10-20 years from now.

Yes, he was pissed and wanted to leave after Montreal. But he stayed and did his job like a pro. Based on all the other midcarders in the WWE hall, I'd say he is deserving.
Aye true. He's certainly more deserving than some already in, as we saw from that 411 list...

Yeah, I don't see it happening until his kids are older and get out from under Martha's influence. They hopefully will see what kind of career and following Owen had and push for it. Unfortunately, it won't happen while Martha has a say in the matter.

But there's a chance it might come back at the IOC session at Buenos Aires.

Unless that China money brings Wushu into the fold.

Well, if that happens we'll see an even greater influx of wrestlers into MMA and Pro-wrestling.

Wrestling is probably the most competitive sport in the Olympics imo and they go and take it out? Yet they keep fucking Ping Pong? Are you fucking serious?

Hard to believe wrestling would be taken out. It's one of the sports that was basically an original to the ancient games. When I think of the Olympics, it's typically track and field, swimming, gymnastics and wrestling. It's apparently not totally dropped, it's just no longer a core sport so it has to apply for inclusion in the remaining opening along with some other sports, but it's not likely to get the bid being the recently dropped sport.

Sounds pretty fucking sketchy the more I read. Apparently the decision came down between wrestling and modern pentathlon being dropped. The decision was voted upon by the IOC board members, one of whom happens to be a former IOC president and current vice pres of UIPM, the governing body of modern pentathlon.
