"It's a no-brainer" - Former WWE manager talks about The Undertaker being inducted into the Hall of Fame
Former WWE manager Jim Cornette feels it was a "no-brainer" for WWE to induct The Undertaker into the Hall of Fame.
This past week, WWE broke the news that The Deadman would be headlining the Hall of Fame Class of 2022.
On the latest episode of the Jim Cornette Experience, the wrestling veteran spoke of The Phenom's induction into the Hall of Fame. Cornette put over the legend as one of the most deserving superstars to ever receive the prestigious honor.
Here's what Cornette had to say:
"This is unquestionably the right decision," said Cornette. "Is there anybody out there saying they shouldn't put the Undertaker in the Hall of Fame? No, it's not controversial. They always try for a main event induction every year, this is one of the biggest they could ever have. This does put a period on the idea that he's wrestled his last match, which is a good thing. Because you don't want him coming back time after time to diminishing returns both for his legacy and for his physical well-being... It's a no-brainer," (from 2:31 onwards)

No one like him. He is truly a PHENOM in every sense of the word. A Hall of Fame career earned over 30 years of hard work and dedication in @WWE.
Congratulations, Taker. #WWEHOF twitter.com/WWE/status/149…
I’ve had the pleasure (and often times pain) of being in the ring with @Undertaker throughout both of our careers. I count him among the absolute best and someone I consider a close friend. Congratulations and welcome to the #WWEHOF club!!! twitter.com/wwe/status/149…
Congratulations to @undertaker on his induction into the #wwehof! No one, and I mean NO ONE, deserves it more. The Undertaker is truly iconic and transcends @WWE. The man behind the character is just as impressive! I am absolutely thrilled! CONGRATULATIONS!!
Absolutely no one has had as big an effect over as long of a career as @Undertaker. He is the measuring stick of this industry, in and out of the ring, and now takes his well-deserved place in the #WWEHOF! twitter.com/wwe/status/149…
The Demon from Death Valley has a storied career in the WWE, as he has enjoyed several World Championship and Tag Team Championship reigns. He has also won the Royal Rumble match.
