341. Billy Jack Haynes

Billy Jack Haynes wore the colors and name of Oregon all over his ring gear, but that part was no gimmick as he was Portland born and raised.  Haynes became one of the biggest stars in the Pacific Northwest Wrestling promotion and would later take that to the WWE.  Haynes was strong and agile and his persona translated well to the WWE fans as he was quickly one of the more popular faces in the company.  After he left wrestling, Billy Jack made multiple shoot comments that bordered on being bat shit crazy.  As such any distant shot he may have had for an induction would be prevented by WWE management wanting him anywhere near a live microphone.

329. Dutch Savage

A major staple in the Pacific Northwest on both sides of the border, Dutch Savage would become a huge name as both a heel (predominately in the 60’s) and a face through the 70’s. He held the Vancouver and Portland belts multiple times, and was not just a huge name there, but would book and promote in those territories. Savage may not be known that well East of Montana, but his impact on the West Coast is undeniable.
