Should King Harry be included in the HOF?

Please note - that due activities , he will have already have had his portrait put up in the MDT wing of the building and another in the Royalty suite.

Yay or Nay?

I say aye.

Even though others have clocked up World Championships three and four times over... When a guy wins the Super Six, I always tend to vote him in, but when you add that to a MDT victory.

For me, he is an automatic.

It actually makes sense when I call out corrupt officiating what with all of Greb's losses coming via DQ and poor decisions from judges, and all you guys can do is try to turn that around against me? For shame

If anything Greb should've had at least 5 or 6 more wins this season and been even greater than he already was.

I say aye.....despite terrible management....the fighter himself managed to shake off the bad oversite, and turn in some respectable outcomes. I would like to suggest that his manager be barred from all future sim involvement.
