I've also been of the Phil Leotardo thought process " they make any and everybody over their, and the way they do it is all fucked up. There's no knife or gun on the table..... EITHER IT HAS MEANING OR IT MEANS NOTHING AT ALL".
To me a button should be reserved for the most deserving guys (E.I. a proven Standup guy with some jail time under his belt, A heavy hitter who does it right and keeps his mouth shut, a earner that can produce for himself and others, and guys who have the a historical lineage)
You should have 2 out of the 4 prerequisites and at least 2 sponsors. You should be given a ceremony worthy of a made guy. So there should never be a dispute of legitimacy. Just an opinion.
