Earl Hebner to the TNA Hall of Fame

Written by
Committee Chairman
Does this Hall of Fame really matter? It seems like every time we mention that the TNA wrestling promotion inducts a new member to their Hall of Fame, we openly have to ask just how much longer the promotion will last. With their current deal on Destination America coming to an end, we ask that question even louder as they announced that referee, Earl Hebner will be their latest inductee to their Hall. Hebner joined TNA in 2006 after he and his brother Dave were let go by the WWE following selling WWE merchandise without the organization’s permission. In TNA,…

We kind of knew this already as many of you have seen that we have ranked Allen Iverson at the top of our revised rankings for the Notinhalloffame.com Basketball list. During this past Basketball Hall of Fame weekend, the institution made his eligibility official, a fact that was not made clear to many. There were two sticking points that cluttered the opinion as to when his eligibility was.
