Dear WWE,

Dear WWE,
Why isn't Haystacks Calhoun in the WWE Hall of Fame already? He's an unsung hero that has earned his time in the spotlight and the credit for what he has done in the industry. The gimmick he used was used by Hillbilly Jim, and his booking style to get him over was used by Andre the Giant. He paved the way for other people in the WWE Hall of Fame.
I'm not saying he's a top tier Hall of Fame inductee. But come on, you guys put Chris Von Erich in the Hall of Fame with his family. Did Chris really do anything to the wrestling world? No. Haystacks, however, impacted pro wrestling. The ripple effect he caused is still felt today.
Aside from his booking style and his gimmick, Haystacks did plenty of work with a struggling North Eastern promotion. He was able to draw a lot of fans, and ergo money, to the company that is now World Wrestling Entertainment.
I think it's time we see Haystacks in the Hall of Fame.

Thanks for your time,
Daniel "FourFifty" Crummett
