Theif, owen was one of the best technical wresters ever. The only reason he wasn't in the spotlight more was because his brother was quite possibly the BEST technical wrestler ever.
His in-ring work is as good or better than any of the greats (eddie, Benoit).
The blue blazer was a old gimmick that Owen did in his early pre-wwe years, he ws doing it as a short term joke. I actually thought it was funny "The WWF is deplorable."
I am not sure that he should get in the hall of fame before bret, eddie, macho, simply because he was never heavyweight champ. However, IMO he definately deserves to be in there.
I don't really think that Eddie Guererro was really setting the world on fire with his "I'm Dominic's father" and "Batista is my best friend" stuff either right before he died.
