The late Buddy Rose is really the only one on the 200 cut list who made a decent mark in the WWF as a single, he was a top heel during Bob Backlund's reign. The Killer Bees had their success. Brian Blair was a good hand for a bit, he would team with Spike Huber, the Mikey Whipwreck of his day and practically have to fight off tage teams by himself.The Jumping Bomb Angels did win the tag titles, right? What about old hand Judy Martin?

L.T. did main event a wrestlemania, so I would make him top 3. It baffles me why Mr. T and Cyndi Lauper have not gotten in. it could well be due to their own misgivings, but I haven't actually heard anything about it. Taylor's recent legal troubles may be a factor in holding his election back.I like enhancement talents. I would love to see Garea and Rene Goulet honored for puutting over so many guys when the WWF started to explode. Goulet could just tell one Andre story after anotther at the induction ceremony. I wouldn't mind keeping them as top 100. The rest could go either way. Arion was part of one of Vince McMahon Sr's biggest angles with his turning on Bruno, but his election won't raise an eyebrow today.Sable deserves it. I have the feeling, based on what Sunny was saying at an autograph signing a couple of weeks ago, no one might attend that ceremony if it happens.

The thing about inducting Sable sooner rather than later is that you get her husband (Brock Lesnar) to attend the ceremony. So that is incentive for WWE.I agree about Spiros Arion, I just don't think he's on WWE's radar and was factoring that in. But keeping him in the top 100 sounds good and we're probably one of the few groups of people who could help keep him on said radar. lolLT I think is now a registered sex offender for sleeping with a post pubescent teenage prostitute. I say if Tyson can host RAW after raping a woman, then LT can be forgiven in time. Goulet or Garea would have been better inductees this year than Bullet Bob Armstrong IMO for their work in WWE. I always play a game when watching old pay per views where my friends and I would try to be the first to spot Goulet backstage or at ringside. hehe

You have to love Goulet and that one glove he would wear to the ring. It seemed like all those guys had their gimmicks,too. Mike Sharpe with his forearm band. S.D. Jones with that outfit of his, and Pete Doherty, the Duke of Dorchester himself. I bet an enhancement wing would go over as much, if not more, than the celebrity wing, as they are really stretching now.

Clayton....Chances are that the Fringe group will be amalgamated..... Not sure about the Future list, as the eventual intention is to have future candidates for all of our sporting categories. As for the Celebrity list, although WCW only celebrities are on it, i still think they had more of an impact than other WWE RAW hosts. Maybe i am wrong on that, but as the WWE HOF has inducted many wrestlers who never wrestled there, i think they already opened the door. Still, the WWE Celebrity wing is the most incrompehensible thing ever.

Well the two celebs I added to the top 10 wrestled at major WWE pay per view events. Ranking Arquette over the likes of Jeremy Piven is fine, but Snooki wrestled at Wrestlemania 27 and Tom "Tiny" Lister wrestled at SummerSlam 89 and Survivor Series 89. I think they outrank WCW celebs for that. Just as apparently WWE thought Drew Carey outranked Rodman and Arquette. The only exception to an outside celeb ranking in the top is Kaufman because we can all envision Lawler inducting him. It gives Kaufman an edge over the likes of Jay Leno or Karl Malone. Plus he never wrestled for the corporation that nearly put WWE out of business. He's also not unreliable like Rodman or been part of such a black stain on the business that Arquette participated in. The future list is a bit too fluid for WWE and would constantly need updating as opposed to other categories like the Baseball or Rock and Roll hall of fames. TNA contracts begin and end on a dime. To be consistent you'd have to take people off the future list and add them to the top 100 (Nash, Booker, New Age Outlaws) or take people off the top 100 and at them to the future list because they now work for TNA. These things change so often that there's almost no point in bothering with it. Plus what is the difference between Hardcore Holly and Savio Vega? Why is one considered a future inductee while the other is in the top 200? Why were Goldberg and Trish put on the future list yet the Rock went straight to the top 10? When Jim Ross was inducted, he was an on air talent and office employee, yet Vince McMahon is listed as a future candidate and not eligible in the top 100?Where do Batista and Chris Jericho fit into all of this?I think that you can rank people like Edge and Rey Mysterio who have earned their HoF spots, but add the reason why they won't go in as currently being that they are actively wrestling under WWE talent contracts. Simple as that. Just as TNA employees having that as the reason. No real need in this category to have such division when rhyme and reason are not WWE's strong suits. ;)Just go for it. Throw Kurt Angle up in the top 100 and see where he ranks against John Cena and Ray Stevens. Let the only adjustments in the future be moving people up and down one list as their credentials grow or their barriers increase.

Hey guys, love the site. Just wanted to see what happens with Edge for the list now. It appears his retirement is 100% legit. My gut feeling is that Wrestlemania is held in Toronto in 2013, where both he and Trish go in. So if I can offer up my top ten...1. The Rock - Seems like a no-brainer. Had a hell of a career in the WWE and outside, and has become an ambassador for the company. Should be inducted next year in Miami.2. Randy Savage - Thought he would not get inducted due to a personal beef with Vince, but after working with THQ for the recent WWE All Star game that he was included in, I bet he gets in shortly.3. Bruno Sammartino - Doubt he gets in soon unfortunately, but it would be great to see him get his due. Hopefully this bridge will be mended shortly.4. Edge - Held more belts than anyone in WWE history. Revolutionized the ladder match and rarely had a poor match while wrestling. Should be a no brainer for induction.5. Bob Backlund - Surprised he hasn't been inducted already. Should be a lock for the Hall, considering he held the belt for what, 35 years or something? Would like to see him in just for the acceptance speech.6. Ultimate Warrior - Perhaps the second most popular star behind Hogan. Yes the company made a DVD basically trashing his career recently, but he still made a lasting impact on the company and should be treated in such regard.7. Jake Roberts - Perhaps the most sinister mind the company has seen, and one of the best characters of the 80s and 90s. Plus he invented the DDT!8. Trish Stratus - Sunny was called the original Diva, but I think Trish goes down as the one who revolutionized the diva industry. Should go in shortly.9. Mick Foley - If there is any justice, Mrs. Foley's baby boy will be in the WWE soon and will induct the Rock next year, and looking even further ahead, if WWE does Wrestlemania 30 in MSG, how does Foley not get in that year?10. Arn Anderson - The enforcer should go in soon, though Ric Flairs recent TNA tenure might hurt that situation. But would very much like to see him get inducted, either by himself or the Four Horsemen as a group.

Well, they waited a year after Shawn Michaels retired to induct him. So Edge in 2013 is a pretty safe bet. The Rock shouldn't get in at next year's Wrestlemania, he's in the main event. If he's not done, he should not get in. And, as far as Mick Foley goes, I can't see that happening as long as he's under contract with TNA. There's a reason why the cameras didn't pick up Ric Flair at this year's induction ceremony. Once that contract ends, he's a headliner.

Okay. Thinking out loud here.Celeb list currently.1. Muhammad Ali2. Andy Kaufman3. Mr T.4. Cyndi Lauper5. Mike Tyson6. Donald Trump7. Floyd Mayweather8. David Arquette9. Lawrence Taylor10. Dennis RodmanI still say Rodman has to go. He was a WCW celeb that was unreliable when it came to making appearances as he ditched them quite often. His reputation is poor within the business and he'd probably ask for too much money to appear. Replace him someone like William Shatner. He's made several television appearances over the past 2 decades on WWE shows and helped induct Lawler into the HoF. They love him.Arquette still has the stigma of winning the WHC. It was not a proud moment for the business and I can't see WWE highlighting that for a stadium full of people. WWE laughed at it when it happened in WCW and is considered one of WCW's many faults in the end. So why honor it. Replace him with Snooki, Tom "Tiny" Lister, Alice Cooper, Leslie Nielsen, Pamela Anderson, or Chuck Norris. A few who deserve it mixed with some who are likely to be called. The top 200Since Michaels, Road Warriors, Abdullah, Hacksaw, Sunny, Armstrong, and Ellering are being moved off it leaves 7 openings. The fringe list for certain needs to be merged with the main list however I do not believe it should go beyond 200. Thus cuts need to be made. I also believe the future list is just a waste of time in this genre because it would need far more updating consistently than the Rock and Roll list as TNA contracts can be terminated fast, careers can end in an instant, and as we all know it's nearly impossible to determine if someones in ring career is over or if they're just taking a long break. So I'm going to put in bold the people I think should be cut from the main list entirely. 1. Bruno Sammartino2. Randy "Macho Man" Savage3. Shawn Michaels4. The Road Warriors5. Bob Backlund6. The Rock7. The Ultimate Warrior8. Lou Thesz9. The Dynamite Kid10. Mil Mascaras11. Paul Heyman12. Bruiser Brody13. Jake "the Snake" Roberts14. Carlos Colon15. The Fabulous Freebirds16. Ivan Koloff17.

Not all have to go but they're the ones that jumped out at me as being on the chopping block. Reasons for cutting them included factoring in what they did for WWE, if they're dead, and plainly if they even deserve induction anywhere. Plus I'm trying to open up space for some on the fringe list to jump aboard. The fringe list.Akira HokutoBill ApterBilly "Red" LyonsBob GeigelBruce PrichardChris BenoitDanny McShainDick EbersolDick HuttonDon OwenDory Funk SrEdouard CarpentierEl SantoGeorge ScottGiant HaystacksGory GuerreroHiro MatsudaHugo Savinovitch and Carlos CabreraJack TunneyJerry JarrettJim BarnettJim Crockett JrJim JohnstonJoey StylesJohn TolosKendo NagasakiLance RussellLeilani KaiLillian GarciaLord Alfred HayesMark "Rollerball" RoccoMildred BurkeOtto WanzPaul BoeschPerro AguayoWild Red BerryRikidozanSam MuchnickSky Low LowTed TurnerThe Crush GalsThe Destroyer Dick BeyerThe Fabulous KangaroosThe Jumping Bomb AngelsTiger MaskTony SchiavoneToots MondtSailor Art ThomasWhipper Billy WatsonThere were 49 people on it. I put in bold the ones I think should be cut. Ultimately cut 19 and kept 30 to help replace the 60 I cut earlier from the main list. The future listAl SnowBill GoldbergBilly GunnBooker T.Brock LesnarBuff BagwellHardcore HollyJeff JarrettKen ShamrockKevin NashMick FoleyRavenRikishiSabuShane DouglasStingThe Dudley BoyzThe Great MutaThe Road DoggThe Steiner BrothersThe UndertakerTrish StratusUltimo DragonVince McMahonBilly Gunn and Road Dogg will be inducted together under the New Age Outlaws. Buff Bagwell will never be inducted. Here's a list of people who haven't made any of the lists so far. I know one reason is just that they're not all retired. But like I said earlier, careers can end in an instant. I included people like the Miz (who has main evented wrestlemania), Punk who is a 12 year vet and former WHC, and Vickie Guerrero who I can see WWE inducting just to have husband and wife in the Hall. I guess it would be a debate on whether all former WHC champs or WWE champs deserve consideration at this point. Triple HBatistaSean WaltmanGoldustLinda McMahonChris JerichoKaneThe Hardy BoysRey MysterioBig ShowKurt AngleMichael ColeRob Van DamChristianShane McMahonStephanie McMahonTommy DreamerWilliam RegalDave FinlayTeddy LongTazzCM PunkThe MizVickie GuerreroMark HenryEdgeRandy OrtonJohn CenaVisceraHisashi ShinmaThe Orient Express/Badd CompanyVictor RiveraHarvey WhipplemanDangerous Danny DavisVal VenisDanny Hodge (Jim Ross keeps pushing for him)Jushin Thunder LigerIf John Cena retired tomorrow, he'd headline the next class. Since guys like Ric Flair, Jerry Lawler, and Jim Ross are still active past their inductions, I think it makes sense to include current roster members on the big list who have already earned their Hall of Fame position. As I have said, the future list is too complicated for this specific genre. Baseball, Football, and Rock and Roll I understand, but with pro wrestling it's too fluid and constantly changing.So can we get a debate started on what you agree and disagree with? :D

Sounds good. Here are my final thoughts.Move Up1) Paul Bearer should move up quite a bit. WWE considers him one of their top managers of all time. He and Kevin Sullivan could almost trade spots if not bump Kevin Sullivan to the 101-200 range.2) Madusa should move up a bit. Maybe even into the top 100. While she might have dropped the womens belt in a trash can on Nitro, WWE has long forgiven her. 3) Slick certainly needs to move into the top 100. He's another manager WWE has made clear they honor. They flew him in to Wrestlemania 23 just to dance and again on old school RAW last year. He certainly should be higher than Robert Fuller. 4) Lita probably needs to be higher too. While I think she gets overrated, it's obvious she's considered one of the greatest Divas of all time. It doesn't make sense for her to be behind someone like Austin Idol who never had a WWE run and is rather regional.5) Sable too will need to move up. While Sunny might have started it all, Sable took it to a level WWE didn't realize was possible. 6) Chyna also needs to crack the top 100. The height of her popularity far above that of the Barbarian. 7) Gary Hart might need to be bumped a tad higher. I've been listening to WWE Legends roundtables, reading books, and observing polls on WWE.com and he is highly regarded as one of the greatest managers ever. His only drawback is that he's dead and didn't work for WWE. However current voters on the HoF will probably remember him once they're back in Texas.8) The Bushwackers need to be in the top 100. WWE loves them. They're even on the back cover of the WWE Encyclopedia with a bunch of legends. Probably one of Vince's favorite gimmicks.9) J.J. Dillon needs to be in the top 100. Not only do they love him backstage for his managing days but also he was head of WWE talent relations in the late 80s and early 90s. He's a lock for the hall and shouldn't be lingering around the likes of Manny Fernandez.10) Psycho Sid could stand to move up given that he headlined two Wrestlemanias and was WWE champion.
Move Down1) Adnan Al-Kaissie can move off the top 100. WWE.com recently ranked it's top 25 managers and he wasn't on it. He probably could have been, but it goes to show you that he's not exactly a priority inductee.2) The Nasty Boys are a joke behind the scenes. They can make the back end of the top 200 but not the top 100.3) Hercules had a solid run in the WWE but nothing stellar and now he has passed on which means you have to be something fairly special to get in. Plus he dropped Vince Jr on his head at a party and was released shortly after. So move him back a bit.4) Dino Bravo is another guy like Hercules who had a solid run but now that he's dead I'm not sure he's elite enough to break into the Hall. So at the very least move him down. 5) Bad News Brown had mild success in WWE but like Herc and Bravo is now dead. Plus he had some issues with WWE in terms of discrimination. I don't think WWE is looking to go out of their way to induct him. Gotta move him back or off the list.6) The Assassin Jody Hamilton sued WWE a couple of years ago for pulling out of Deep South Wrestling. They're not on good terms. Plus if they inducted him they'd probably induct his tag partner Tom Renesto (RIP). So that would put them on the dead list and I don't think WWE would induct them.7) Wildfire Tommy Rich had success outside the WWE but not in it. He's in the Bullet Bob Armstrong category if you ask me. He can be on the giant list but not so high up.8) Same goes for Magnum T.A. He can be respresented, just not above the likes of Brutus Beefcake or Earthquake.9) Ron Garvin is way too high. Same as Magnum and Rich. 10) Jackie Fargo is another regional star who can be on the list, but not that high. 11) Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin is the same. Move him back.12) Like I said earlier, Kevin Sullivan is way too high. He probably has his best chance of getting in next year since it'll be in CWF territory but he shouldn't be above the likes of Bam Bam Bigelow, Big Boss Man, or Miss Elizabeth when it comes to WWE.13) The Rock and Roll Express is probably too high too. They can be on the list just not in the top 50. The Midnight Express will probably be inducted before them and even the ME has a tag team waiting list.14) The Dynamite Kid can stay in the top 100, but not the top 10. He was quite the entertainer but WWE has bigger fish to fry. 15) Mil Mascaras is another guy like Dynamite. While legendary, in terms of WWE he's really no greater than Abdullah the Butcher or a Wahoo McDaniel. So keep him in the top 100 but not so high. 16) Carlos Colon. See the last two. 17) Giant Baba. See the last three. Can stay in the top 100 but move him back.18) Gene Kiniski. See the last four.19) Tatsumi Fujinami. See the last five...though he might be better off around the 101 to 120 range.20) Spiros Arion. We discussed him earlier but I still say he's a 101-200 at best. WWE hasn't acknowledged him since the 1970s. 21) Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert should be pushed back and maybe into the 101-200 range. Lots of new people coming aboard and need to make room.22) Nikita Koloff had a great career outside of WWE but could stand to be pushed back.23) Poor Dominic DeNucci never gets any love. He can be pushed back.24) Rene Goulet. Classic but maybe not top 100 material.25) Mr Wrestling Tim Woods. He's dead which doesn't help and somewhat of a regional star. To make room he can be pushed back.
Fringe list guys. Toots Mondt, Jack Tunney, and Lord Alfred Hayes should be added to the top 100 right away. Toots maybe towards the back end of the top 100 since WWE likes to pretend Vince Sr did everything. Jack Tunney a little higher since he was WWE's gateway to Canada and served as a President. Lord Alfred should be higher still as a loyal employee for 12 years who was one of their backbone commentators interviewers, and sidekicks. As I said before, WWE made a video tribute for him on the RAW after he passed. They don't do that for everyone. Others from the fringe list who should join the main list include Edouard Carpentier, El Santo, Gory Guerrero, the Spanish announce team, Hiro Matsuda, Jim Crockett Jr, Jim Johnston, Joey Styles, John Tolos, Lance Russell, Paul Boesch, Sky Low Low, The Destroyer Dick Beyer, Tiger Mask, and Whipper Billy Watson.
Future list.I still don't think we need this list but instead should stick with a top 200 and the celeb list. However at the very least some guys need to join the main list. I mean The Rock and Eric Bischoff made the main list. So some of these guys should.1) Bill Goldberg. He can crack the top 100. 2) Billy Gunn and Road Dogg will be inducted together as the New Age Outlaws. But they can make the top 100 now.3) Booker T. WWE has no problem inducting currently active commentators let alone retired wrestlers.4) Brock Lesnar. If he ever wrestles again it will just be a one time deal. WWE recently ranked him in their top stars of the past decade. His career was short, but he did everything.5) Kevin Nash. Currently sitting around on a 5 year legends contract.6) Mick Foley. His contract with TNA expires this summer and he says he has no plans to renew. If Bischoff could make the main list, he can.7) Raven. He can make the 101-200 list. He's done with TNA.8) Rikishi. He can make the 101-200 list.9) Shane Douglas. Could probably make the back end of the 101-200 list even though nobody likes him backstage.10) Trish Stratus. Probably a favorite for next years induction if they cant get Elizabeth in.11) Sabu. He's worthy of making the list. Maybe top 100.Given that WWE tried to induct Sting this year, one has to think they will try again once his contract with TNA expires again. That could be as early as next year. Had WWE inducted him this year, he would have bypassed the fringe list and top 200 list. Meaning these contracts end and begin to quickly for this list to keep up with. Adding him, Jeff Jarrett, Dudley Boyz, Great Muta, Steiner Brothers, the Undertaker, and Vincent K. McMahon wouldn't be the worst thing.If you still don't want to add the rest to the list then at least add Kane, The Hardy Boys, Rey Mysterio, Big Show, Rob Van Dam, Christian, Kurt Angle, Goldust, Triple H, Shane McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, William Regal, Tazz, CM Punk, The Miz, Randy Orton, John Cena, Mark Henry, and Michael Cole to the future list.
OthersI assume Edge is going straight to the top 50. Batista has shrunk down to normal size. He's not wrestling again in the near future. If Rock can make the top 100 he should.X-Pac can go into the 101-200 range.Linda McMahon can make the list somewhere too.Chris Jericho may not be done with wrestling but he's in the Rock situation.Tommy Dreamer is done with TNA and can make the 101-200 range.Finlay was released from WWE and can make the 101-200 range.Teddy Long will probably be inducted while he's still smackdown general manager. So 101-200 range.Hisashi Shinma can be listed in the 101 to 200 range for serving as WWE president before Tunney.Harvey Whippleman can go in the 101-200 range.Danny Hodge can go in the 101-200 range because Jim Ross keeps pushing for him. Jushin Thunder Liger can maybe go in the 101-200 range.Dangerous Danny Davis can go in the 101-200 range for being a ref and promoting Ohio Valley Wrestling.Johnny Ace is currently head of talent relations and invented the stone cold stunner amongst other moves. 101-200 range.Willie Gilzenbeg was the longest serving WWE president from 1963-1978. He can make the top 200.Others that could be added include Angelo Poffo, Boris Malenko, Ed "Stangler" Lewis, Big Daddy V, Angelo King Kong Mosca, Bob Caudle, Killer Karl Kox, and Hans Schmidt.
So those are my last minute thoughts. Hope it helps. Comments?
