Wanted to see Rose get in while he was alive but hope he gets voted in but I’m knot sure how the veteran committee will treat him. I think Shoeless Joe definitely gets in.

Halls of fame are all kind of artificial constructed bullshit. In that sense, none of this matters. Pete Rose was one of the greatest baseball players ever, whether or not the league acknowledges it, and whether or not a bunch of sportswriter dorks formalize it via their vote.
That said, I get the freakout over gambling on your own team. Doing so undermines the legitimacy of the competition, and a legitimate competition is what you’re selling to paying customers.
On the other hand, Pete Rose seems like a cool dude.
In any case, he’s already in the only hall of fame that matters (WWE)
Yep. Loved his interactions with Kane. Pete should be in and you could argue that he paid his punishment. I think he would’ve given an epic speech
Oh my god, yeah, the real shame is that this happened after he died
