Do people know that it’s not Dave’s decision to put Big Daddy into the HoF or not ?

That is true, however he does have a fair amount of sway with his write ups. I don't have much to say on the Big Daddy issue one way or the other, but his write up of Kent Walton when he was on the ballot a while back was absolutely piss-poor and misleading. He dismissed him as a part time pornographer, which turned out to mean he was an exec producer on some British sex comedies.

Well, it didn't work because Kent got voted in

"Have a good week....til next week" is a great title is a great title/tag line for a 70s cheeky softcore flick. Old Kent missed a trick there.

Back on topic Shirley Crabtree's reputation as a wrestler is based for most people on diminishing returns as Big Daddy in late middle age.

Does anyone know how he was regarded as a worker in the pre-tv era as the battling guardsman character?
