Not just inducted because he is the father Vincent Kennedy McMahon, Vince McMahon Sr. was the founder of the original World Wide Wrestling Federation, which would eventually morph into today’s World Wrestling Entertainment.  This is about as logical an induction as it comes.

The Grand Wizard has been called by many the greatest heel manager of the 1970’s and by a few as the greatest ever.  He was a regular fixture of WWWF programming for a decade and was responsible for more entertaining promos than anyone else during the Allentown era.  He may not be that well known to today’s generation, but his induction is certainly warranted.

Easily the most important figure in Women’s wrestling, The Fabulous Moolah holds the longest uninterrupted title reign in Professional Wrestling history.  She began her career as a valet, but quickly became a tough as nails wrestler who’s in ring skill was only matched by her ability to train and mold other female grapplers.  Moolah was the first female inducted into the Hall of Fame and there should have been no doubt that she deserved that honor.

The first Triple Crown winner in WWE History, Pedro Morales was a huge draw for the McMahons and captured far more than just the Hispanic market.  His World Title run lasted almost three years and was largely considered a success, especially when considering that his era followed that of the largely popular, Bruno Sammartino.  Long after Pedro’s first run with the belt, he was able to make two successful returns to the organization in the 80’s, making him known to those who witnessed the wrestling boom of that decade.
