In terms of top-tier HOFers, who's left?

For WCW era people, Bischoff and Sting since Sting is the biggest name left from WCW not inducted yet while Bischoff was as important as Vince McMahon in the Monday Night Wars. I could also see a Trish Stratus if they want to include more women wrestlers into the Hall since she was very popular during her time with the WWE.

yea, George is who I thought as well when I initially read the thread. But that's why I asked Xero is he was only wanting us to come up with people who would headline the show in today's time. Unless you're really into wrestling history, most people have no clue who he is or what he really meant.

I think he deserves a spot 100%, but he would just be a "filler" type guy that goes in. George was wayyyyyyyyyyy before his time though and was the first true wrestling gimmick/character

Agree since Vince/WWE current mindset is the candidate needs to be within last 20-30 years in order for people to remember or care about the wrestler. I don't blame him or the WWE though since wrestling's main viewing audience is either very young for current era, or have been watching wrestling since the 1980s when wrestling went back to mainstream status.

They could however be using their wwe.com website and WWE 24/7 much better to improve people's wrestling history and as a result open up more wrestlers to the Hall without worrying about ever running out of quality main event material.
