While speaking on the Stevie Richards Show, Stevie Richards explained why he thinks Stephanie McMahon should not be in the WWE Hall of Fame. He said that as a writer, her work belongs in a Hall of Shame instead.

In his opinion, Shane McMahon deserves it much more because of his big matches, great promos, and exciting moments that go back to the Corporate Ministry era. Richards believes Shane’s career clearly earns him a Hall of Fame spot long before Stephanie.

>“Does Stephanie McMahon deserve to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame? No. As a writer, she deserves to never be in the Hall of Fame. I’m serious. That should be in the Hall of Shame. Shane by a mile deserves it more than Stephanie for just the performance and the memorable moments in his matches and how he still could cut a promo. He still did what he did even way back in the Corporate Ministry days. Shane would deserve it. It’s still enough body of work where Shane deserves to be in the Hall of Fame long before Stephanie. Way before Stephanie.”

> “Stephanie was really good on screen for about a year and then she disappeared. Then she was the GM and then she was just there and then she sort of went back to mousy Stephanie and then she disappeared for years. Then she came back and then she was the B+ player version of Stephanie McMahon with Triple H that went, oh, those Authority promos that opened the show. And people the first week were like, ‘Oh my god, Stephanie’s back. This is so great.’ It’s like, boy, are you going to be disappointed when this is every single week. It was pulling teeth. They made the show worse.
