Some fans may remember a Kendo Nagasaki who competed in various promotions in North America as a mid card heel.  However, in the United Kingdom the original Kendo Nagasaki was a white British man named Peter Thornley who was actually the biggest draw in England for years.  Thornley was not a well built man, nor was he technically skilled, but he created a character that captured the imaginations of wrestling fans.  Could that type of resume ever mean anything to a wrestling Hall of Fame based in North America?

Should Kendo Nagasaki be in the Hall of Fame?

Definitely put him in! - 57.1%

Probably not, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. - 14.3%
No opinion. - 2.9%
No way! - 20%
