gold star for USAHOF

177. Tom Prichard

The first time that Tom Prichard arrived in the WWE it was as one half of the Heavenly Bodies with Jimmy Del Ray.  It took the “Doctor” a long time to get there as he toiled in the Indies, the USWA and Smoky Mountain in numerous roles for over fifteen years.  By the time he reached the National stage it was clear to anyone looking that he was already a seasoned pro and a ring general.  He eventually won Tag Team gold in the WWE (albeit with a different partner), but his real contributions continued after his ring retirement where he has performed a trainer for the WWE for years after.  It is this role that could see him as a dark horse Hall of Fame candidate.
