I’d rather read 1 EtH verse than 100 Shiznit verses and y’all have him closer to the HoF than EtH because he’s a GC. Totally backwards thinking, imo.
First, this is why I write. Seeing shit like this shows me that I was doing good and exactly what I wanted to be the result is what it was, so I'm happy to see that.

But I disagree with the rest. I wouldn't say I just have the ability. I lack consistency to really go on huge impressive runs. Consistency is a skill. Staying motivated is a skill. It's not that I just choose to lose motivation, I just don't possess that skill that you have.

Think of it this way; when a tournament drops and I'm in it, is anything thinking I'm winning? If you see you're up against me, sure, you might be like "Fuck it's EtH, I better go super hard here", but you still don't think I'm winning the tournament. You HAVE to be viewed like that to be HOF. You HAVE to be a consistent top contender, which I have never been.

Dissizit was viewed like that. Do I think I'm a better battler than Dissizit? Hell yeah. But there's a reason he'd have been ranked way above me by my own admission in the Top 100 battlers thing. You have to make achievements to be HOF imo, otherwise we risk falling into that WWE bracket where we put The Godfather in HOF.

I've spoken many times about how Mayneak doesn't deserve HOF. He was never viewed as a legitimate contender against the likes of Illy, UA, Notch etc. He was always a fair bit below them, likewise with NawkOut, and they never actually achieved anything in their runs. I haven't either, and I'm not viewed as a legit tournament contender against Lock, Sho, Esso etc.

However, that being said, every single person deciding to drop their little bitch comments like "Lmfao are you serious" either would be or have been walked by me in a text battle. Phil Banks chirping up like he even knows what a punchline is. Dude's walking around with his nostrils superglued together cause if he sneezes his family dies.
