Current WWE Inductees
During NIHOF committee meetings, it was extremely rare for us to agree unanimously on anything. We were initially in agreement that Bruno Sammartino had to be considered the most deserving man not yet in the WWE Hall of Fame. Here we are, two years later, and Randy Savage has taken over the top slot, yet the…

Current WWE Inductees
We held back on ranking Booker T in our inaugural list as felt that despite being in his mid 40’s we thought the “spinaroonie” master had another run left in him in the WWE. When he came back this year and returned to the WWE as a broadcaster, we felt it was time to list…

As one of the original hardcore icons, Abdullah became a star on various continents and winning more titles internationally than many casual fans may have realized.

Current WWE Inductees
We have to admit that we loved this induction! Although Antonio Inoki did have a solid relationship with the WWE, wrestling many times for them in the late 70’s and early 80’s, it was in Japan that he was a true star. In fact, Inoki could very well be the most popular wrestler in Japan…

A major star in the American South for decades, “The Bullet” Bob Armstrong held every title worth holding south of the Mason-Dixon line on multiple occasions.

The third Celebrity Inductee, Bob Uecker was actually one of the more entertaining celebrity guests in Wrestlemania history.
