10 People / Teams WHo deserve A HOF Induction

[The Mac]

With the Four horseman finally getting there induction i thought who else needs a spot, i have disregarded any "legend" who recently wrestled in wwe or active superstars so let the debating begin



10. The Rock 'n' Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson), it's pretty clear why they were called that: They were treated like rock stars.

They were arguably the most over baby face tag team in the 1980s, having notable feuds with the likes of the Midnight Express and the Four Horsemen in the NWA (when it mattered much more).

The Rock 'n' Roll Express captured four NWA World Tag Team Championships, worked for a number of major promotions (AWA, NWA, WCW, WWF, etc.) and were ranked the No. 4 overall tag team of the "PWI Years" by Pro Wrestling Illustrated.

9.Stan Hansen is a very rare breed of wrestler in that he achieved arguably more success and popularity in Japan than he did in his home country of America.

Regardless of where he was most successful, though, Hansen should still be rewarded for his stellar career.

He competed in the WWF, New Japan Pro Wrestling, NWA, AWA and All Japan Pro Wrestling, and he was ranked the No. 7 tag team (along with Bruiser Brody) and the No. 16 singles wrestler of the "PWI Years" by Pro Wrestling Illustrated.

Hansen also competed in two five-star matches that were nearly 10 years apart (one in 1984 and one in 1993) and participated in PWI's "Match of the Year" in 1976.


8. Demoliton belongs in the WWE Hall of Fame. Plain and simple.

Ax (Bill Eadie) and Smash (Barry Darsow) were a staple of the WWF's tag team division in the late 1980s and early 1990s, winning three Tag Team Championships between 1987 and 1981.

Together, they hold two major WWF tag team records.

Demolition has the longest single tag title run (478 days from March 27, 1988 to July 18, 1989), and they also have the most total days as tag team champions (698).

Although Demolition did not have the longevity of some other well-known tag teams, it's hard to overlook those two major accomplishments.

7. Brian Pillman is yet another wrestler who left us way too soon, but his untimely death shouldn't overshadow what he did in shortened career.

"The Loose Cannon" was known for being incredibly unpredictable, but we always knew what we were going to get out of him in the ring: great wrestling.

Pillman was one of the more athletic wrestlers around in the 1990s, and he used that athleticism to form one of the best tag teams of the '90s, "The Hollywood Blondes," along with "Stunning" (a.k.a. "Stone Cold") Steve Austin.

Pillman and Austin won two tag team titles together before going on to feud in the WWF in 1997 in very memorable fashion, thanks to the infamous "Pillman's got a gun!" segment.

Though Pillman will always be remembered for his work with Austin, he was one heck of a wrestler who was named the No. 84 singles wrestler of the "PWI Years" by Pro Wrestling Illustrated.

6. If Jake "The Snake" Roberts didn't have all of his personal issues, it seems a lot more likely that he would be in the WWE Hall of Fame.


Roberts was an absolute staple of the WWF from the mid-1980s to early 1990s, revolutionizing the business with his incredible in-ring psychology, his never-before-seen gimmick and the invention of the DDT maneuver.

Though Roberts never won a major singles title in the WWE and had a number of problems outside the ring, he is one of those rare wrestlers whose impact on the business is not measured in championships.


5. The WWE has a number of tag teams that should claim their rightful spots in the WWE Hall of Fame, and you're looking at one of them.

The British Bulldogs, consisting of Davey Boy Smith and the Dynamite Kid, were one of the best teams in all of professional wrestling from the mid-1980s until around 1990.

Though the British Bulldogs only one the WWF Tag Team Championship once, they held those titles for a whopping 294 days and also won the tag team titles twice in Stampede Wrestling between 1988 and 1990.

Smith and Dynamite Kidd were named the Wrestling Observer Newsletter's "Tag Team of the Year" in 1985 and the No. 5 tag team of the "PWI Years" by Pro Wrestling Illustrated in 2003.


4. One of the greatest heels who's ever lived, it's a shame that Rick Rude isn't in the WWE Hall of Fame.

The guy truly had it all: the looks, the in-ring abilities, the charisma, the mic skills, etc.

Rude was one of the best heels in all of pro wrestling during his time with all three major promotions (WCW, WWF and ECW) in the 1980s and 1990s, and he won four World titles as well as the Intercontinental Championship.

He was also a part of one of the most influential stables in WWE history, D-Generation X, and was ranked the No. 57 singles wrestler of the "PWI Years" by Pro Wrestling Illustrated in 2003.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a more well-rounded wrestler than "Ravishing" Rick Rude.

Although With Him Screwing Vince It Ain't Likely


3. Bruno Sammartino has refused Hall of Fame inductions in the past for a number of reasons, but that doesn't change the fact that he belongs there.

Sammartino was arguably the most well-known and popular wrestler in America during the 1960s and 1970s, and he holds two amazing records that will likely never be broken.

He held the the WWF Championship twice for a combined length of more than 11 years, and his first reign as champion lasted for 2,803 days (or more than seven years).

Those numbers probably won't be touched at any point in history, and Sammartino deserves to be recognized for being one of the greatest WWF Champions the company has ever seen.

Whether that will ever actually happen, though, is certainly up for debate.


2. It's hard to believe that Owen Hart still isn't in the WWE Hall of Fame.

Though his career was tragically cut short at the age of 34, he already had the credentials to go into the Hall at the time of his death.

Hart had already won the King of the Ring tournament, four WWF Tag Team Championships and the Intercontinental title, and he developed a reputation as one of the greatest technical wrestlers to ever live.

He also wrestled a five-star match against Bret Hart at SummerSlam in 1994 and won two "Feud of the Year" awards (1994 and 1997).

Had Hart not passed away at such a young age, there's really no telling how many more accomplishments he would have racked up before hanging up the boots on his own terms.


1. This one really needs no explanation.

Just about everyone knows that "Macho Man" Randy Savage was one of the most polarizing figures in WWE history, someone who truly brought everything to the table.

Savage was phenomenal at working the crowd, cutting those crazy promos and, most importantly, wrestling inside the squared circle.

Whereas almost every wrestler we've seen has had some sort of weakness, "Macho Man" was better than just about everyone at everything.

I really thought that Vince McMahon would let bygones be bygones and put his issues (whatever exactly they are) with Savage to the side this year, but Edge is headlining the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2012.

Therefore, it looks like Savage will have to wait at least another year, if not forever.

What a shame. If anyone deserves a spot in the Hall, it's "Macho Man."

[Lord Tensai]

Owen shouldn't really but had this discussion before.

[The Mac]

i know but put my thoughts in and why not

[Swinny]

Owen shouldn't really but had this discussion before.

Why not? He deserves to go in a lot more than a lot of people who are already in the Hall of Fame...

[Kage]

IMO, Owen is overrated because he left us before his time. He was good, but not as good as people make him out to be.

[Swinny]

IMO, Owen is overrated because he left us before his time. He was good, but not as good as people make him out to be.

And Owen was criminally underrated while he was alive, so it evens things out...

6. If Jake "The Snake" Roberts didn't have all of his personal issues, it seems a lot more likely that he would be in the WWE Hall of Fame.

That's exactly why he's not in the Hall Of Fame at the moment...he can't be depended on with his health & addictions.

British Bulldogs, consisting of Davey Boy Smith and the Dynamite Kid

They will never get inducted as a team because of the heat on Dynamite Kid because of his bad relationship with WWE to this day along with him making all this bad stories about WWE behind the scenes public with the drug use & deaths.

4. One of the greatest heels who's ever lived, it's a shame that Rick Rude isn't in the WWE Hall of Fame.

They probably still hold a grudge for him jumping ship to WCW without notice to WWE.

3. Bruno Sammartino has refused Hall of Fame inductions in the past for a number of reasons, but that doesn't change the fact that he belongs there.

They can't induct him without his permission so until he dies & his family says ok, it's a lost cause no matter what other conspiracy theories some fans try to make up

It's hard to believe that Owen Hart still isn't in the WWE Hall of Fame.

BLAME HIS WIFE! She doesn't want him acknowledged by WWE in any way so again, lost cause.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage

Randy & WWE had issues against each other for years (and the Stephanie rumor is completely absurd & made up by some ignorant fans) so of course he's not going in when they don't get along.

I really thought that Vince McMahon would let bygones be bygones and put his issues (whatever exactly they are) with Savage to the side this year, but Edge is headlining the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2012.

The same way everyone thought Road Warriors were going in Chicago, the same way everyone thought the Freebirds & Arn Anderson were going in last year in Atlanta...people have their own thoughts & opinions but they don't have the say so in this subject. Plus it's already been reported OVER & OVER again that Edge goes in this year for the fact that so many things related to him are coming out at the time of his induction like the DVD on his career along with his WWE film so it's more of a business decision as well.

[The Mac]

thanks for the replies 4gold lol

and ya martha is a bitch

[Sidney Evans]

NWo should get a HOf induction, they was the greatest faction of all time, aswell as DX.

[4 Gold Scorpio]

^^^Depends on what members you want to classify as the 'nWo' because all 30+ members aren't going in at once & WWE will never induct Scott Hall in the condition he's in now.

[Swinny]

Yeah, if they were to induct the nWo, it'd probably be the original threesome of Hogan, Nash and Hall, but like 4 Gold said Hall isn't going in any time soon unless he completely cleans himself up and Hogan is already in, so I'd expect Nash to go in by himself at some point rather than as the nWo.

[Sidney Evans]

^ Flair is already in the HOF aswell and they was still able to pull off the 4 Horsemen HOF induction. And who knows maybe Hall will get cleaned up and I have Hogan, Hall and Nash only as the NWO.

[Swinny]

^ Flair is already in the HOF aswell and they was still able to pull off the 4 Horsemen HOF induction. And who knows maybe Hall will get cleaned up and I have Hogan, Hall and Nash only as the NWO.

Yes, but Arn, Windham and Tully are not. But yeah, maybe if Hall actually gets clean, but I still see Nash going in by himself before that.

[Panteraopeth]

How about Eric Bischoff?

[Metalitia]

How about Eric Bischoff?

I think he and Paul Heyman are worthy candidates personally.
