Do You Think Jim Johnston Should Go Into WWE Hall of Fame?

He has been with the company for soo many years and has made greatest theme songs of all-time for WWE.

Yes without a shadow of a doubt ,
I've heard he is not too keen on the spotlight being on him but it won't be long until he is put in the HOF

Absolute shoe in and deserves to be a part of the HOF, has made some iconic themes.

Definitely, one of the unsung heroes of the business. so many iconic pieces of music, Jake's original theme is my favourite entrance music of all time.

Chip Whitley

He should be in, without a doubt. He's all over WWE.

krudler

That's something they should look into for future HOF ceremonys, the production side of things. Let's be honest even though fans aren't always happy with the product, the video editing, music, set design and general production of everything is absolutely world class when it comes to WWE.

Over my dead body.

Serious obviously he should be in. But WWE/Vince have an aversion to publicly acknowledging off screen staff on screen for whatever reason unfortunately.

Bounty Hunter

I think he is one of the only people I could imagine having his name even mentioned in this regard and nobody in such a role should be in before him because it is easy to accredit a lot of iconic work to Mr Johnston and make people see him as being deserving without taking away from anything else or pointing out its staged or whatever as it would if say a writers induction would (Vince russo being inducted would break the internet).

Which is weird considering they came straight out in what 1997 and said it was all entertainment. They know, we know, they know we know. Just give people their props. I bet Kevin Dunn will get in at some point though, be funny cos Jim Cornette's head will explode.

Oh Jays, a million per cent yes. He is a huge part of WWEs success in my opinion

Moneymaker

Unquestionably.

JohnMarston

His music helped put over countless wrestlers, so definitely yes

Hashtag_HEEL

100% yes! Themes like Warriors, shields, Fandangos etc have been huge in getting the characters over!

SimonQuinlank

He definitely should go into the HOF (considering that NBC lad is already in) but I'd be doubtful that he ever will do.Though when WWE eventually start running out of people to induct they might squeeze him in alongside Kevin Federline and Mike Adamle.

At least he's always got his 2 seconds of fame in Beyond The Mat.

and in the run DMC video for their version of the DX Theme!

Jim Johnston should most certainly be in the Hall of Fame.

He should be the first person inducted into the Production Wing of the Hall of Fame.

As well as the likes of Adam Penucci (who has been doing the video packages for WWE for years) ... I'm sure there's plenty of people in the background who could be recognised before the likes of Vince Russo even gets a glance.

(Although Russo most definitely deserves to be in there too).

The main question would be - what entrance music would he come out to to accept his HOF ring!?

Ironically he would have to write his own
