gold star for USAHOF

Not on the Not In The Hall of Fame list

I could be mistaken, but it appears that Waldo Von Erich was not among the 250 candidates listed. Unlike many others included, he actually competed in the WWWF. He had four stints in the WWWF between 1964 & 1975, received approximately 90 WWF Heavyweight title matches and held the United States tag Team Title-WWWF version- in 1965 with Gene Kiniski. He also had success in other regions, notably in several territories as a tag team partner and "brother" of Fritz Von Erich. they were generally known as The Iron Claws. He has been generally been forgotten, but definitely warrants inclusion on a list of the top 250 non-HoFers in WWE/WWF/WWWF history, probably in the top 50, based on career accomplishments in the WWWF, although, granted, he has virtually no chance of being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
