Your blurb here brings up a valid point. That Ring of Honor is for the fans and more importantly the fans that go to the stadium. When fans go there, and they see a name on the Ring, they not only remember the player, they remember their own participation in the crowd for when he was there.

 

They remember being in the stands and watching as the guy burst through the line or caught an unreal pass or made a crazy tackle or whatever. They remember not just what they saw, but the smell that was in the stadium, how it sounded when everyone else erupted, how it freaking felt to be there when the player made a great play. You simply cannot reproduce that memory that's in the fans' mind.

 

I would imagine that the fan whose butt is actually in the seat, and is paying the team to drink their beer and eat their food is a whole lot more important than the fan who is sitting at a BW3.
