Full Version: WWE Hall of Fame

So I've compiled a list of wrestlers that I think would be no-brainers to be candidates of the WWE Hall of Fame. I've made this list based on four things:

- Has this wrestler made some kind of impact in the WWE?
- How critically acclaimed were these wrestlers? Both back in the day and today in retrospect?
- What were some of the memorable/iconic matches, promos, feuds, segments etc. this wrestler had in the WWE?
- And, of course, I took into account their accomplishments and accolades in the WWE.


Also, I would like to acknowledge that a good majority of them came from the Attitude Era. I know, I know, cue the eyerolls. But I just can't really come up with any "old school" or "pioneer" wrestlers as of right now. There are also two wrestlers in this list that may be debatable for you guys. I placed a * next to their name.


So, here is my list!

- The Undertaker
- The Rock
- HHH
- Chris Jericho*
- Molly Holly*
- Christian (but he would be inducted as a tag team along with Edge as Edge & Christian.)


Here are also two wrestlers that would've been likely to be Hall of Famers, but of course, the WWE won't induct them due to obvious reasons:

- Chyna
- Chris Benoit


And the one wrestler who would obviously be inducted in the future, but no one likes him. Of course, that person would be:

- John Cena


Who do you want to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame? They can be from any era, of course!
Taker
Rock
Savage
Owen Hart
DX
Hercules Hernandez
I like the list, and most of those guys are surefire HOFers, but not this year.

All of them have been active in the ring within the last year, so I don't think they'll qualify.

Other than Molly, who I agree should get recognized, but has too much heat with some office folks from what I understand.

Edge is a guy I could see them going for.
gate cali he iz lik 8ft he iz srong men he get induked
Savage is another one that seems to be blacklisted from the WWE so until that gets fixed, which with him dead I'm not sure ever will.

Yeah, if he didn't go in when he died, he won't go in until Vince does.

Didn't he pop Steph's cherry or something?
That's the or a popular rumor.
Besides those listed above I feel like these should be inducted.

Vader
The Fabulous Freebirds
The New Age Outlaws
Lou Thesz
Sting
Stan Hansen
Honky Tonk Man
The Steiner Brothers
King Kong Bundy
JBL
Lex Luger

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Luger deserves a spot.
Lex Lugar? We might aswell say Tatanka, I.R.S, The Nasty Boyz, The Bushwackers, Repo Man, The Warlord, The Godwins, The Headbangers, Gangrel
DDP too!
nWo - no brainer

New Age Outlaws - held the monopoly on the tag belts during the late 90s and one of the most entertaining acts of the Attitude Era

Sting - probably going to happen next 'Mania

Rey Mysterio - wrestled for ECW, WCW and WWE and held many titles for the latter two. Also a huge draw for the Hispanic audience

Triple H - inevitable

Sid Vicious - a World Champion for both WCW and WWE. Deserves recognition just for overcoming THAT injury... and for soiling himself at 'Mania 13 lol

Owen Hart - would be a shoe-in but his widow wants nothing to do with WWE so will almost certainly never happen

Goldberg - one of the biggest and most recognisable WCW stars, held the World Title in the 'E too. From what I gather relations are still pretty frosty between him and Vince so could be a while before we see it happen

Kurt Angle and The Dudley Boyz - guaranteed a spot when they end their association with TNA

Kane - took what was supposed to be a short term gimmick and kept it relevant for almost 20 years

Given the rumored situation between Mysterio and the WWE at the moment, it might be a while before we see him in the Hall of Fame.

There will more than likely be a few marquee inductions over the next few years where guys will have a whole class inducted around them; Undertaker, The Rock, maybe Sting, etc.
