Not in Hall of Fame News

Committee Chairman
The more we add sections, the more we have to constantly update them. As such our Hockey Futures TBD have added some new entries. For those unaware, the Hockey section is the only team sport where we have a TBD (to be determined) section. This is due to the Hockey Hall of Fame having only a three year period after a player has retired before he becomes eligible for the Hockey Hall of Fame. This is why we look at players over 35 who are currently active in professional hockey and place them in a potential vote. Here are the…

Committee Chairman
The Canadian Football Hall of Fame has announced their 2017 Class and it doesn’t get more loaded with offensive firepower than this group.

He debuted for the Las Vegas Posse, moved to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, but it was his third and final team where he became the best in the CFL. That…

Committee Chairman
We love this! It was announced today on WWE.Com that Jim Cornette will be the inductor for the Rock and Roll Express’s WWE Hall of Fame induction. On his podcast, Cornette stated that he would be honored to induct the tag team but he speculated that due to comments he has made about the world’s biggest wrestling promotion after he was fired over a decade ago that he would never be invited. We think that he must be pleasantly surprised by this news. Cornette was the long time manager of the Midnight Express, comprising “Beautiful” Bobby Eaton, “Loverboy” Dennis Condrey…

Committee Chairman
It is a very sad day in the world of Rock and Roll. The legendary Chuck Berry, considered by many to be one of the pioneers of Rock and Roll music, if not the father of the genre, passed away at the age of 90 today. Berry was at the forefront of accelerating R&B to what would become contemporary Rock and Roll music. Berry would also incorporate the fast pace of rockabilly to his sound and as such, helped to create a sonic blueprint that appealed to both Black and White America and if there were a Mount Rushmore of…

Committee Chairman
Dwight Howard, the Atlanta Hawks’ Center was asked recently by ESPN as to whether he is a Basketball Hall of Famer. He was pretty confident in his answer: “No doubt. It’s kind of got swept under the rug because the perception of all the things that happened in Orlando. All of the media stuff. If you look at basketball itself, and I don’t ever talk about myself, but winning three Defensive Player of the Year trophies has never been done. Leading the league in rebounding six straight years. All that kind of stuff, I think that deserves it.” Howard isn’t…

Committee Chairman
With Wrestlemania only a few weeks away, the WWE Hall of Fame is naturally closing in. As such, some of the inductors have been announced for this year’s inductees. Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat had already been named the inductor for the late “Ravishing” Rick Rude, and today it has made known John Cena will be indicting Kurt Angle and Ron Simmons and John Bradshaw Layfield will be inducting Teddy Long. Cena is an excellent choice. His first televised match was against Angle, and in later feuds with the former Olympic Gold Medalist, Cena would become legitimized in the eyes of…
