Who would you like to see go into the Hall of Fame, but never will?
 
Can be for whatever reason, such as you liked them but they were not over enough (Kurrgan), they are not the WWE fit for a hall of fame inductee (New Jack), or they brought disrepute to wrestling (Chris Benoit).

Owen Hart, Macho Man, and the British Bulldog are the only names that come to mind right now. Owen and Bulldog will never be in because of how their family feels, and Macho Man won't because of all the inside heat that supposely exists between Macho Man and McMahon.

drave 05-11-2012 07:05 AM

Regal. He should have had more TV time. Read his autobiography, pretty interesting stuff, one of the better books out there.

Cool King 05-11-2012 07:19 AM

I actually think Regal will make it into the Hall Of Fame eventually.

Only after The British Bulldog though.

Tazz Dan 05-11-2012 08:11 AM

Benoit, Owen, The Hardy Boyz

Attitude99 05-11-2012 09:10 AM

Benoit

Innovator 05-11-2012 09:11 AM

Agree 143 1/3% with Zeeboe on Owen and Macho. I think Bulldog will get in despite Diana.

The Jayman 05-11-2012 09:41 AM

Benoit and Owen

Kapoutman 05-11-2012 09:59 AM

Definitely Owen and Macho. I personally would like to see Scott Hall make it, but I guess we'll have to wait until he cleans up or he dies.

Jake Snake
Goldburg
Ultimate Warrior
Scott Steiner

Think the issue with Savage is his family now,they want inducted as a group or no one goes in supposedly. Think Benoit is the only definite no chance of induction ever though.

Think Bischoff and Cornette should both be in,pretty unlikely as it stands now. Obviously the Headbangers should be,it makes a mockery of the entire HOF that they don't have their own wing let alone arent inducted yet.

dynamite kid

Keith 05-11-2012 03:18 PM

I really don't see Owen going in as long as Martha is alive.

Or his kids grow up, become adults, and stand up to her and go like "My dad's legacy is important, he's going in to the HOF".

I think all of these guys will wind up going in eventually, Scott probably with Rick, Bulldog and Dynamite together maybeeee. Struggling to think of anybody off the top of my head that I want to see go in/"deserves" to go in but might not, Bam Bam maybe

Keith 05-11-2012 04:48 PM

Also, Mick Foley should be in. Not to hate on anyone, but there's no reason why Edge should've gone in before Mick.

CSL 05-11-2012 04:50 PM

they needed a "headliner" for this year, Edge is probably the bigger star, fresh off retirement, fresh in people's memories, Foley is still semi-active etc. He'll definitely go in at some point.

I totally understand. Just that when we saw Mick and Edge feud in the 2000's, who would've thought that the young villain would go in before the loveable hardcore legend?

CSL 05-11-2012 04:54 PM

Michael Hayes should be in by now but at this point, it's pretty much a running joke/rib on him that he's not. He'll go in with the Freebirds at some point.

Emperor Smeat 05-11-2012 10:43 PM

Paul Heyman
Owen Hart
Ultimate Warrior

Bruno Sammartino since he's really the last big pre-Hogan star not inducted yet but played a huge part in WWE's history. There are other big names not inducted yet but none at Sammartino's level.

Lesnar mostly due to the way he left and only was with the company for 2-3 years but he was on pace to potentially be in the Hogan/Austin level in stardom as a wrestler.

Keith 05-11-2012 10:56 PM

Also, I'd love for Scott Hall to go in. Let's be realistic, we don't know how long we're going to have him with us (though I hope it's many, many more years). He's lived a difficult life, a lot of ups and downs, has had to deal with many demons. He's one of my all-time favorites, so I'd love for him to have that one special night where he goes in the HOF, where he receives a standing ovation, where he feels love from the fans and his peers. A lot of people deserve to be in the HOF, but no wrestler has ever needed it as much as Scott. And who knows what a special night like that can do for him?

crusnik 05-12-2012 01:13 AM

Gotta agree with the meatball in saying that Bruno Sammartino definately deserves to be in there Should have n probably would have IMO if things were different.I also agree on the ultimate warrior as well as Owen Hart.As far as Paul Heyman,yes ,when n if he retires...

SlickyTrickyDamon 05-12-2012 01:32 AM

Bruno refused the Hall of Fame. He would be in there if he wanted to be.

Mad random examples in your opener Kurrgan and New Jack. They both sucked donkey dick. New Jack is a disgrace to the sport of professional wrestling. That's why they aren't in the HOF.

I'm not sure if Jacques Rougeau will ever make the Hall of Fame but he and his brother Raymond both deserve it. Maybe include Pierre Ouellete in there with them as well. He's Maryse's uncle in case you didn't know.

Foley will be a main event inductee either at WM29 in New Jersey (close to Long Island) or maybe WM30 if it's in MSG. Well, that is if Mick doesn't do anything to piss of McMahon again in the next months or so.

Keith 05-12-2012 01:37 AM

Bruno refuses to go in the HOF. Originally it was because he was in the bandwagon of "wrestling is too sleazy, the whole family can no longer watch the shows or go to the live events because it's not appropriate for children, it's too violent, the current product is a disgrace".

Not sure what his reasoning is now.

Fignuts 05-12-2012 02:16 AM

How the fuck is Bam Bam Bigelow not in the hall of fame yet?

SlickyTrickyDamon 05-12-2012 02:19 AM

Might be trying to limit drug related-death inductions in the present climate. Certainly he deserves to be in there. He was a main event of a WrestleMania and had a long and awesome career.

I can't comprehend how Curt Hennig is in, yet Davey Boy and Rick Rude are not.

SlickyTrickyDamon 05-12-2012 02:33 AM

Mr. Perfect was better than Davey Boy. I'm sure Rude and Davey Boy will be in eventually.

nolanve 05-12-2012 06:24 AM

Owen Hart is the one that stands out to me.

Also I don't know if the New Age Outlaws will ever get in but they deserve it imo.

Rammsteinmad 05-12-2012 04:03 PM

The very second I read the thread title, I thought of Chris Benoit.

whiteyford 05-12-2012 04:24 PM

Vince Russo is probably another guy you could argue should be but wont. Nailz too:shifty:

RiX1024 05-12-2012 05:20 PM

Macho Man, Owen, Bulldog, Ultimate Warrior, Bob Backlund, Bruno, Rick Rude, Dynamite Kid, Benoit, Jake Roberts, Mick Foley, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Brooklyn Brawler.

CSL 05-12-2012 05:38 PM

most of those will go in

You don't think Heyman or Lesnar will go in???

RiX1024 05-12-2012 05:52 PM

I can't see Heyman go in, Lesnar is a defo potential Hall of Famer unless he buggers off again.

With Michael Hayes, imo he was only over as part of the Freebirds not as himself.

Would love to see Regal in the Hall of Fame.

#1-norm-fan 05-12-2012 05:53 PM

I can't see how/why Heyman WOULDN'T go in.

CSL 05-12-2012 05:56 PM

Heyman definitely goes in one day if he stays on even "acceptable" terms

as for the Michael Hayes comment, see:
Blanchard, Tully
Dillon, J.J
Ellering, Paul
Von Erich, Chris

etc

Lesnar's career was way too short and basically became replaceable with Cena almost from the moment he left. Same with his record as youngest champion was quickly replaced the moment the WWE gave Orton a quick push as champion.

Hm being back on WWE tv is related more to the resurgence UFC gave to his name value than Vince/WWE randomly bringing him back like with the Rock.


Heyman was a tougher choice and I felt he wouldn't go alone as a pick or even as a marquee type name. I can see Heyman being a presenter for HoF nominees like potentially Taz or a surprise Lesnar choice well before him actually being inducted into the WWE hall.

Shisen Kopf 05-12-2012 09:11 PM

If they inducted the 4 Horsemen then the nWo should go in. Hogan, Hall and Nash and Bischoff but that ain't gonna happen
