Rikishi for me is a fringe inductee, more at the weaker end of inductee's.
The only reasons I am ok with it is because of his longevity in the business and his ability to get over in a popular era.
Otherwise Rikishi is not that dissimilar to many mid card guys that should be nowhere near the HOF.
I have a feeling that family ties played the majority deciding factor in this one.
It could be far worse but Rikishi is definitely amongst the lower end of inductee's that have been enshrined.
