Committee Chairman

Committee Chairman

Kirk Buchner, "The Committee Chairman", is the owner and operator of the site.  Kirk can be contacted at [email protected] .
The International Tennis Hall of Fame has announced that Justine Henin and Marat Safin have been selected to join their institution. 

From Belgium, Henin was a seven time Grand Slam winner, including four wins in the French Open.  She enjoyed 117 weeks ranked #1 in women’s tennis and was instrumental in helping her country win their first Fed Cup Championship.  She holds the distinction of being the first Belgian in the Hall.

Marat Safin made similar history as he is the first Russian being inducted into the Hall.  Safin is a two time Grand Slam winner, the 2000 U.S. Open and 2005 Australian Open. 

These two will be joined by posthumous inductions, Yvon Petra and Margaret Scriven, who were chosen in the master player category.

The French born, Petra, was the Wimbledon Champion in 1946.  British born, Scrivens was the French Open Champion in 1933 and 1934.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the latest class.



This was a nice surprise.

The WWE Hall of Fame has announced that Ray Traylor, known in the WWE as the Big Boss Man will be inducted into this year’s class.

Traylor first got his start in Jim Crockett Promotions where he was used as enhancement talent, but his size and agility were wasted in that role.  Recognizing this, “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes pulled Traylor off of television and repackaged him as “Big Bubba Rogers”, and was placed as the bodyguard of Jim Cornette and The Midnight Express.  He was also wrestling against Rhodes and was used in the “monster heel” role.

Rogers would foray to the UWF, defeating the One Man Gang to win their Heavyweight Title, but like the Gang, who was leaving the UWF to go to the WWF, Vince McMahon came calling.

Now known as the Big Boss Man, Traylor portrayed a prison guard, which he actually used to be.  He feuded immediately with Hulk Hogan and would be part of the Twin Towers with Akeem, the former One Man Gang.  After a feud with Dusty Rhodes, who joined the WWF as well, he turned face and had a memorable feud with “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase and later the Heenan Family. 

By 1993, he went to WCW, but languished mostly in the mid card as he was unable to use his Big Boss Man character.  He did have great matches with Vader, but he was mostly used as a placeholder in both the Dungeon of Doom and the New World Order.

In 1998, Traylor returned back to the WWF, again as the Big Boss Man, but now he was a heel aligned with Vince McMahon.  He would win the Tag Team Titles with Ken Shamrock and the Hardcore Title and he faced (and lost) to the Undertaker at Wrestlemania, where he was infamously hung from the top of the cage. 

Traylor would be released in 2003 and would die a year later from a heart attack. 

We would to congratulate the family of Ray Traylor who we are sure are delighted by this turn of events. 



We here at Notinhalloffame.com thought it would be fun to take a look at the major awards in North American team sports and see how it translates into Hall of Fame potential.

Needless to say, different awards in different sports yield hall of fame potential.  In basketball, the team sport with the least amount of players on a roster, the dividend for greatness much higher.  In baseball, it is not as much as a great individual season does not have the same impact.
Slowly but surely we are getting there.

We have added another Top 50 list to one of the Big Four of North American Team sports.
