WWE
Compared to the other Halls of Fame that we discuss on our website, this one is hands down the most fun and the hardest to calculate. Keep in mind, that there is no actual WWE Hall of Fame where fans can go and see their heroes. There are no set criteria to get in the WWE Hall of Fame. Wins and losses don’t exactly matter when the matches are predetermined. It does not even seem to matter if you even wrestled for the WWE as some of their inductees never drew a paycheck from Stamford. This is as subjective as they come so with that we made a criterion of our own which did incorporate (in no particular order) impact, ability, innovation championships won, legacy and their use in the WWE. The only two rules we set was that the wrestler in question was not currently an active competitor on a full-time basis unless that wrestler was 46 or over. Once a wrestler becomes 46 that individual moves from the Futures to the Main List at the time of revision.Until Then, Whatcha gonna do when Notinhalloffame.com runs wild on you!
Sincerely,
The Not in Hall of Committee.
Originally ranked by Notinhalloffame.com separately, the Moondogs (Spot, Rex and King) have been grouped together and maybe it is this combination that could see these men have a shot at the WWE Hall of Fame.
Best known for his role as the foreign heel manager, General Skandor Akbar, the man born as Jimmy Webha was actually a native Texan.
As “The Man You Loved to Hate”, Mick McManus was one of the first major stars of European Wrestling and did so while performing the majority of his career as a dastardly heel. Amazingly, he would become a huge celebrity in his native England, and though he had a conniving sneer and broke the rules often, he elicited such a…
Ron Killings is one of those ageless wonders whereby despite his youthful appearance he is (and probably always be) a decade older than he looks.
Austin Idol began his career as a power wrestler, which stood to reason considering he competed as a Power Lifter in the Super Heavyweight division. But we know the adage of strongman wrestlers, who although are marketable are rarely any good. After a plane crash that sidelined him, he remerged significantly lighter, with a new look, and the moniker of…
There will always be a place for very large men in wrestling, especially a six hundred pound one who was as mobile as Viscera. Starting off in the WWF as Mabel in one half of the friendly rapping duo, Men on A Mission, he slowly morphed into a bad ass heel that someone his size was designed to be. After…
Johnny DeFazio did not have a won/loss record that would make you take notice, but he was a four time WWF Junior Heavyweight title and a man who worked solidly for the WWWF in the Pittsburgh territory for years. It may not make him an automatic entry for the WWE Hall of Fame, but he does hold a series of…
The voice of ECW, was not just the announcer for the renegade Philadelphia based promotion but for many he was one of the best announcers of all time.
The evil German was a staple for decades in Professional Wrestling, but the first to really make money with it and terrorize opponents and fans was Hans Schmidt. The gimmick was money, and Schmidt played it perfectly (he was really a Quebecer) and was arguably the first great villain in the televised wrestling era. He hit opponents with his helmet,…
The high-flying Billy Kidman emerged from the “Flock” in WCW to become one of the top American Cruiserweights. He was not used as effectively in the WWE, but he did win titles there and showcased some solid work. As of this writing, he is working backstage in the WWE, and that can only increase his chances in the future, depending…
Umaga should not be on this list. Not because he didn’t have a good career, but because he should still be alive competing and enjoying his life. From a family of wrestling royalty (the Anoa’i clan), Eddie Fatu first hit the WWE as one half of the Three Minute Warning with his cousin. The pair started off with a bang,…
The man with the claim to fame of being the first recognized National Wrestling Alliance World Heavyweight Champion, Orville Brown mad his name in the state of Kansas accumulating regional championships. Brown was pegged by the growing National Wrestling Alliance to be their first champion and embarked on unification matches with other regional promotions. A severe car accident derailed that…
When Andrew Martin passed away he got a brief mention on wwe.com. The man who performed there as “Test” deserved a lot more, as he was a solid mid card performer there for years who may have been a program away from main event status. Test had size, speed, the right look and wrestling skills to be a star; which…
This one could be a little bit complicated.Following World War II, the idea of evil German or Japanese wrestlers worked, and there were many that succeeded. The Von Brauners however, go down in history as the most successful tag team of that ilk.
Another of the great wrestlers who cut their teeth in All Japan, Toshiaki Kawada was a bit of an unsung superstar in Puroresu. Although he would win multiple championships in All-Japan and other promotions, he was in the shadow of bigger names like Mitsuharu Misawa and Kenta Kobashi. Kawada had multiple five star matches and is considered one of the…
If you only saw his lone WWF match at the 1997 Royal Rumble you wouldn’t think he was anything special. The fact is that Perro Aguayo held multiple championships south of the border and was a major draw there whether he was a “rudo” or technico”. He may have been undersized even by Mexican standards, and he wasn’t a high…
The first time that Tom Prichard arrived in the WWE it was as one half of the Heavenly Bodies with Jimmy Del Ray. It took the “Doctor” a long time to get there as he toiled in the Indies, the USWA and Smoky Mountain in numerous roles for over fifteen years. By the time he reached the National stage it…
Linda McMahon was best known by many WWE fans as the suffering wife of Vince McMahon, and the only one who seemed to be nice, but behind the scenes, Linda served for years as the CEO of the organization and is certainly responsible for a lot of the success that the WWE has had.
Yes we are suggesting the potential induction of a greasy porn star. Sean Morley was already a very good wrestler and proved to be a natural in the ring, but when he debuted as the star of exotic pictures, Val Venis, he became an instant star in the WWE and was involved in many programs in the mid card.
The father of current WWE Superstar, Alberto Del Rio, was an outstanding wrestler in his own right. The masked Caras (and brother of Mexican legend Mil Mascaras) was one of the larger wrestlers in Mexico and considered by many to one of the best true Heavyweights to come out of Mexico.
