Who would want to see in the HOF?
Well with the announcement of Warrior going into the HOF it got me thinking, who would you want in there that isn't there already? This excludes anyone still currently active like say Rock, Taker and the guy I hate Triple H who will all no doubt be in there soon enough,
Here are some of my personal picks and others whom I perhaps don't necessarily like personally but feel they deserve to be in there. Sting British Bulldog Vader Sid Eudy NWO DX Madusa/Alundra Blayze Macho Man Randy Savage but I believe he stipulated he only wanted to be inducted if and when the rest of his family are. Eric Bischoff Celebrities I am surprised given his involvement in the first WM that Muhammad Ali has yet to be inducted however he may well have been offered the opportunity and declined it. However there may be a couple of issues with him attending a ceremony due to ill health but perhaps also given that the ceremonies always have one key marquee inductee there's no way you can induct Ali as a side note. He isn't a Mike Tyson , this is a man who is truly an icon of sports and popular culture and if they were to induct him which I think they should, they could only justify doing so by giving him the top billing. Liberace was involved in wm one and again I'm surprised he has not been considered. Now would have been a good time to consider him given the renewed interest in his life and career from Behind the Candelabra. |

This is my own wish list of who should go in
Wahoo McDaniel Bruiser Brody - He even got the name Bruiser Brody from Vince's father during his short run in WWWF Lou Thesz The Midnight Express The Rock and Roll Express The Freebirds The Andersons (Ole/Gene/Lars) Dick The Bruiser/The Crusher Ivan Koloff Paul Heyman Stan Hansen Giant Baba/Jumbo Tsuruta The British Bulldogs - Both Davey Boy & Dynamite deserve to be in the HOF imo The Steiner Brothers The Fabulous Kangaroos Dusek Brothers The Assassins Frank Gotch/Strangler Lewis/Jim Londos/George Hackenschmidt/Joe Stecher/William Muldoon/Tom Jenkins/Ray Steele/Dick Shikat Sting Ronnie Garvin Killer Kowalski Dick Murdoch Johnny Valentine Dr. Jerry Graham - I'm surprised Vince hasn't inducted him yet as he was a favorite of his growing up Dr. Death Steve Williams The Spoiler Don Jardine Buddy Rogers The Great Muta Kenta Kobashi/Mitsuharu Misawa/Jun Akiyama/Toshiaki Kawada/Akira Taue/Masa Chono/Nobuhiko Takada/Jushin Liger/Hayabusa/Shinya Hashimoto El Santo/El Canek/Dos Caras/Perro Aguayo Sabu Atsushi Onita Randy Savage Ultimo Dragon Bill Goldberg Gory Guerrero Mr. Wrestling #2/Mr. Wrestling Tim Woods Rick Rude Chris Adams Gino Hernandez Magnum TA Rikidozan Tiger Mask Tony Garea Gene Kiniski Kevin Sullivan - He even wrestled for Vince's father in the 70's Billy Robinson Jake Roberts Haku Eddie Gilbert - Even though he was essentially a glorified jobber in his early 80s run with WWF he left and became a an awesome heel in promotions like Memphis, Crockett Promotions & UWF Mr. T Promoter Jim Barnett Mildred Burke Luna Vachon Akira Hokuto |

Instead of giving you a bloated list (I'm looking at Seth82 right here) I'm just going to keep it as a simple list, let's say for next year.

Wouldn't shock me if they are holding off the Freebirds till they have the Mania in Dallas next year but they should definitely go in at some point.
Also will use this as my yearly "Why isn't Mr. T. in the Celebrity Wing?" (I realize he had denied a few times but you can't have people like Drew Carey and not have a Celebrity who Main Evented 2 Manias not there) LT should also be in the Celebrity Wing but my guess is they will wait till after all his legal issues in recent years die down to do it. |

Does nobody have an opinion on Ali being in the HOF? He was guest referee at WM 1 right? They still show the footage in every WM retrospective promo and he is without a doubt the most high profile celebrity to be involved with WWE in an event capacity.
Floyd Mayweather certainly deserves an induction one day |

the Freebirds aren't in yet because it's basically a rib on Michael Hayes at this point, one he openly acknowledges. Dallas would be a good place for them to go in however if they have 31

It is pretty crazy that Lou Thesz isn't in though. The man has a press named after him, for fucks sake. A PRESS!
As for guys who haven't been menioned: The Honky Tonk Man and King Kong Bundy should definitely be in. |

Andy Kaufman, just so that they can do a "HE'S ALIVE AND HE'S HERE TO ACCEPT THIS GREAT HONOR" tease. In all seriousness though, he needs to be in there due to being one of the first (if not THE first) Hollywood crossovers in wrestling. I wonder if they could get Letterman to induct him.

Also I doubt he would accept it (I think he's on record saying he wouldn't) but Jim Cornette is deserving at least.

Where can I go to see a list of all the inductees of the past? There's alot of guys whose accomplishments may not have been in the WWE (like in AWA or WCCW) that deserve recognition for their contributions to professional wrestling.

That probably came across quite sarcastic, but, honestly, I don't know how to answer that question without it sounding that way.
