Chris Benoit's Hall Of Fame

Frank Deford willingly accepts Pete Rose as a hall of fame worthy player, however, by using phrases like “the only person the ban benefits is Pete himself” and “the best thing that ever happened to Pete…” he argues that even though he lacks the golden title, Rose is more popular than ever. Deford’s report on Rose clearly demonstrates his admiration of the player and helps to shape the way the readers will view the person in question. Frank Deford establishes ethos as he gives many examples to show that he is not completely biased. Deford’s lack of bias is shown in phrases like “commissioners won’t change their minds on Pete Rose...”, where he mentions the commissioners as “commissioners” and doesn’t side with them as if they were fact. He also

In 1919, eight of the Chicago White Sox allegedly threw the World Series. Charles Comiskey was the ruthless owner of the White Sox and was the main motive of the sox to throw the series. Chick Gandil was the first player to get involved and then he spread it to the other players on the team. The act by these players would be called the Black Sox Scandal. The Scandal nearly ruined America’s pastime. The baseball commissioner, Judge Landis, banned all eight of the players for life. Based on how Joe Jackson played in the world series and how he was proven innocent in a court of law, he should be reinstated into baseball and be put in the hall of fame.

The purpose to televising the episode, “ Does Barry Bonds Belong in the Hall of Fame,” is to express their opinion that he should be inducted, despite suspicion of steroid use and negative outlook from media, both Parker and Bayless believe Bonds is a “no doubt Hall of Famer.” The intended audience is directed towards baseball fans who are concerned whether Barry Bonds should get inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. The audience would also want the perspectives from professional sports commentators.

These drugs are seen as bad in the eyes of the owners and the league, too. Though there is an obvious increase in performance while using the drugs, they are not only banned in almost all leagues, but they can harm and even kill athletes. The recent murders and suicide by former professional wrestler Chris Benoit have been linked to abuse of steroids, a fixture in a league that has overlooked steroid use but has since started to change.

The origins of wrestling go back to 15,000 years ago Wrestling is one of the oldest sport played. The Greeks feared the true history of the sport would be lost therefore Greco-Roman wrestling was born from that one type of wrestling many forms were elaborated. The first real traces of the development of wrestling date back to the times of the Sumerians which is 5000 years ago. Drawings , as well as many other vestiges, witness the existence of corporations of wrestlers in Ancient Egypt, wrestling rules and refereeing codes. Fights were similar to those of freestyle wrestling, as shown by drawings and inscriptions from that time. The most famous of all wrestlers was Milon of Croton, six times Olympic champion, ten times winner of the

One of the most controversial subjects in Major League Baseball is that of hall of fame voting. Players who have tested positive should not be eligible for the hall of fame ballot. This is a great honor for players who are truly great and play the game the right way. The hall of fame has no room for players who try to gain unfair advantages through performance enhancing drugs. One of the greatest players of all time, Pete Rose, was denied from the Baseball Hall of Fame do betting on his games. This shows how seriously the voters take being inducted. Players who have tested positive for steroids should be banned from the hall of fame, which is what Major League Baseball is moving toward.

The sport forces a wrestler to go out on the mat and put out their best performance and show their strength is madly impressive. Coach Evans once said, "you can't just wait for things to come your way, you have to go and take it." In order for a wrestler to get what they want, they have to put in work and go out and get it. Dedication is a huge factor in wrestling. Throughout the season, wrestlers have to cut down weight for at least four to five months and make their weight class two times a week. Often times, wrestlers will wrestle off-season, to help stay in shape, as well as, improving their

There has been no precise evidence that can relate steroids to Hall of Fame performance. I do agree that steroids will help an athlete a little but, it will not give them all star numbers. For example, steroids will not turn a Minor League player to a first ballot Hall of Famer. It is just not logical, the game of baseball is too complex and there are many other factors other than strength that makes an athlete great. Steroids would give an athlete more power but, even power will not lead to a drastic increase in performance. Not all hard hit baseballs go over the fence for home runs. To best measure power in baseball, they look at the players’ total bases per hit, this is how many bases you get to after you hit the ball. For instance, if you hit

There are many questions that go through a Major League Baseball fan of the Cincinnati Reds. The most important question that is on every Red's fan mind is why Pete Rose should be allowed into the Hall of Fame? Most players that have been inducted in the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame such as, Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver, and everyone else were inducted for their pitching or baseball playing ability. Therefore, the main idea of being accepted into the Hall of Fame would be how well each player performed on the field during their career. When the baseball commissioner in 1989 "Bart Giamatti barred Pete Rose from baseball after an investigation found that he was guilty of betting" on baseball, what gave the

“Does Pete Rose belong in the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame?” This is a question that is debated among many pundits for a number of decades. Rose is undeniably one of the best hitters in the game of baseball. Twenty plus years ago, however, he was banned from the game due to the gambling allegations made against him. “Outside of baseball and my family, nothing has ever given me the pleasure, relaxation, or excitement that I got from gambling. Gambling provided an escape from the day-to-day pressures of life. And for me, gambling was just plain fun” (Rose and Hill 10). Regardless of Pete Rose’s history of betting on baseball, his outstanding performance and statistical achievements outweigh his off the field transgressions. Therefore he should be instated into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame.

A man that can lift nearly 700 pounds can be admired for his strength alone. A man that grants over 500 “Make-a-Wish” wishes can be admired for compassion alone. A man that gives his heart and soul to his industry can be admired for his work ethic alone. All of these reasons prove why John Cena is one of the greatest human beings to ever exist. As a young child I loved professional wrestling, namely World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), and I carried that intense love into my adult life. As a young child I saw John Cena obtain stardom despite all the hate he received from more traditional wrestling fans. John Cena says the 3 character aspects that enable him to succeed are hustle, loyalty, and respect. Determined to replicate John Cena’s success

Wrestling should not be removed from the Olympics because it is a historic sport that has a positive impact on its participants. Without it, the Olympics will not be the same. Its effect on society can be seen by the influential people who have participated in the sport such as Abraham Lincoln, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Andrew Jackson. Although these people did not wrestle at the Olympic or even collegiate level, one could come to the conclusion that without wrestling in the

Henry Rollins is the ultimate pioneer. Henry Rollins was born in 1961, in Washington DC, but his journey through life did not begin until he was just a pre-teen. When Rollins was in his teenage years, he joined the famed punk rock band known as Black Flag, where he remained with them until the bands split in 1986. Soon after the breakup of Black Flag, Rollins acquired small quantities of success with the Rollins Band. Although the life experience of a punk rock artist was enjoyable for Rollins, he sought out to be more than just an artist in the music industry. He started to venture into the world of acting, where he found success as well. Rollins appeared in films such as Wrong Turn 2 (2007), Jonny Mnemonic (1995), and even had his own television

In the article,”The World of Wrestling” by Roland Barthes will argue that because wrestling stages absolute morality and ideal justice, watching it provides spectators with a perfect understanding of the universe. In American culture there’s tv shows, video games, and reality shows that show absolute morality and ideal justice, and a show that shows the audience the same thing is the show called Flash. In the show Flash, the protagonist Barry is given the power of speed, however he wasn’t the only that received powers he was the only one that uses them for good and tries to protect his city from every criminal that tries to do criminal activities. Although it’s about humans with supernatural powers, it shows the ideal justice and morality of the universe.
