Jeremiah Trotter to the Philadelphia Eagles HOF
Sep 03, 2016
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
The Philadelphia Eagles announced this week two new members, a former player and an announcer to their franchise Hall of Fame.
Middle Linebacker, Jeremiah Trotter will be entering the Eagles Hall of Fame this autumn.
Trotter was a 3rd Round Draft Pick in 1998, from Stephen F. Austin and was used sparingly in his rookie season. Trotter would become a starter in his sophomore season under new Head Coach, Andy Reid, and would proceed to lead Philadelphia in Tackles in three seasons in a row.
In 2000, Trotter would be named to the First Team All Pro and make his first Pro Bowl. He would go to the Pro Bowl again the following season. Unfortunately for the Eagles fans, he was unable to work out a contract extension and would become a free agent, signing a two year deal with the NFC East rival, the Washington Redskins. It would only be two seasons in red for Trotter as he would sign back with the Eagles following that stint.
Returning to Philadelphia in 2004, he would again go to the Pro Bowl and again in 2005. He would sign with Tampa Bay in 2007 and returned to the Eagles for his third and final run with the team for one season in 2009.
Trotter finished his Eagles career with 116 Games, 7 Interceptions, 2 Defensive Touchdowns, 11 Quarterback Sacks and 564 Tackles. Arguably, Trotter was a key factor to Philadelphia’s last Super Bowl appearance.
The Linebacker will be joined into the Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Fame with Broadcaster, Merrill Reese who will be entering his 40th season broadcasting for the team.
The ceremony for the new Eagles Hall of Fame class will take place during their November 28th home game against the Green Bay Packers.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate both Jeremiah Trotter and Merrill Reese for earning this prestigious honor.

RIP: Mr. Fuji
Aug 28, 2016
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
The WWE lost a member of its family today as Harry Fujiwara, professionally known as Mr. Fuji, died at the age of 82.
Carving his niche as an evil Japanese wrestler/manager, Mr. Fuji was actually born in the United States, specifically Hawaii. Born in 1935, he would get his start in his native Hawaii in the mid-60’s and would win his first title within a year, specifically the NWA Hawaii Tag Team Title with King Curtis Iaukea. The late 60’s and early 70’s would see Fuji win regional singles and tag titles, most notably in Oregon with NWA Pacific Northwest. While those accomplishments were solid, it was a move east to then named Worldwide Wrestling Federation that would make him far more known.
Along with his regular tag team partner, Professor Toru Tanaka, The duo would enter the WWWF and with their manager, The Grand Wizard they would defeat Chief Jay Strongbow and Sonny King for the WWWF World Tag Team Titles. Holding the titles for 11 months, Fuji would also receive WWWF World Heavyweight Title shots and was in many main events in the territory. They would have a second reign (though much shorter) but after their loss Tanaka and Fuji would leave the WWWF in and venture south winning other titles.
Returning in 1977, Mr. Fuji and Toru Tanaka now had Freddie Blassie as their Manager and would defeat Larry Zbyszko and Tony Garea in a tournament final for their third WWWF World Tag Team Title. This run would last seven months before losing to the belts to Dino Bravo and Domenic DeNucci. This time the team would split up and Fuji would go on to try his hands at a singles career in other territories.
Mr. Fuji would notably travel to Puerto Rico, winning the North American Title and would also win the NWA New Zealand Championship. Closer to home, he would defeat Angelo Mosca for the NWA Canadian Championship in Toronto.
In 1981, Mr. Fuji would return to the WWWF, now with a new tag team partner, Mr. Saito. With Captain Lou Albano as their manager, Fuji won his fourth WWWF Tag Team Title defeating the tandem of Rick Martel and Tony Garea before losing it to the Strongbows nine months later. Saito would leave the WWWF shortly after and Fuji would descend into the mid-card for a couple of years before he became a manager himself.
Fuji would align with “The Magnificent” Muraco and feud with Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat for nearly a year. Fuji was still wrestling part time, often losing to Steamboat in singles and taking the loss in tag team matches but what was most remembered for this period were the skits performed by Fuji and Muraco on the TNT program where Muraco was trying to flex his “acting chops”. Fuji was the straight man in the bits, but always got the laughs in a “so bad it’s good” kind of way.
In 1987, Fuji took over the contracts of Demolition and would take them to WWF World Tag Team Championship at Wrestlemania IV. He would turn on his team at the Survivor Series, siding with the Powers of Pain and would attempt to help his new team win the belts at Wrestlemania V where he was allowed to be part of a 3 on 2 handicap match for the belts. Following the loss, Fuji was never really part of a major program until 1992 when he was paired with Yokozuna.
Yokozuna would win the 1993 Royal Rumble and would go on to win the WWF World Heavyweight Championship from Bret Hart at Wrestlemania IX. While he would subsequently lose the strap to Hulk Hogan (that night), he would regain it at King of The Ring and Mr. Fuji would be cemented as one of the rare heel managers who was in control of the WWF World Heavyweight Championship.
In theory, it was short lived as Jim Cornette was brought in Yokozuna’s American spokesman, and Fuji was in the background for the next two years. Following Yokozuna’s extradition from Cornette’s stable, Fuji was briefly seen in Yokozuna’s corner, though now carrying the American flag. He was last seen on WWE television in 1996 and went into retirement.
While Mr. Fuji was off of television his legacy lived on and in 2007, The Magnificent Muraco inducted him into the WWE Hall of Fame.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Harry Fujiwara at this time.

Hakeem Olajuwon headlines the 2016 FIBA HOF Class
Aug 28, 2016

Not in Hall of Fame News
It was a very big day in terms of the FIBA Hall of Fame as their latest class has become official at their headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. As this is the FIBA Hall of Fame, this is a truly international group of basketball personalities, some of which are household names in the United States, some of which are not known at all.
The biggest name for most people is Hakeem Olajuwon, the Nigerian born American who has been growing basketball in Africa and was part of the American team that dominated at the 1996 Olympics. “The Dream” is also a former NBA MVP and is a member of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
The other major name known to NBA fans is David Stern, who presided over the NBA as commissioner for over 30 years. Under his watch, the National Basketball Association has become one of the biggest sporting entities in the world and nobody can argue that the league is far better after his reign than before it.
Greek Center, Panagiotis Fasoulas was also chosen. Playing collegiately at NC State, Fasoulas played his entire pro career in Greece splitting time between PAOK and Olympiacos. He is a three time FIBA European Selection, a two-time Greek League MVP and was a EuroStar in 1996.
The lone female of the group is Australian, Michelle Timms. She is a three time Olympian and the first Australian woman to play in the WNBA.
Argentine coach, Jorge Hugo Canavesi was also selected. He coached Argentina to a win at the inaugural FIBA World Championship in 1950, which is to date, the nation’s only win.
Manuel Rega from Spain will also enter the Hall. He is considered by many basketball historians to be the best player in the history of Mexico. He helped his home nation win the Silver Medal at the ’67 Pan American Games.
From Spain, Small Forward, Juan Antonio San Epifanio has also became a member of the FIBA Hall of Fame. Known affectionately as “Epi”, he played professionally only for FC Barcelona and is a Silver Medalist in the 1984 Olympic Games. He took his team to seven Spanish League Titles.
