It's Official: Calvin Johnson Retires.
Mar 08, 2016
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
It’s official.
As reported a month ago, Calvin Johnson made good on his claim that he was done with playing professional football and he has officially retired.
“Megatron” goes down as one of the most dynamic players in the history of the Detroit Lions and easily the best Wide Receiver in team history. Johnson retires with 11,619 Receiving Yards and 83 Receiving Touchdowns with seven seasons exceeding the 1,000 Yard mark. He was a six time Pro Bowl choice, a three time First Team All Pro and would twice lead all receivers in yards.
While Johnson was an elite player, his Hall of Fame ticket is not punched, as with the exception of Receiving Yards/Game (he is 2nd overall) he is not in the top twenty in any major category and with the explosion in the modern offense, he will drop quickly. Johnson also has never won a playoff game, factors that could affect the voters.
Still, he is a Hall of Famer in our book, and we would like to wish Calvin Johnson the best in his post playing career.

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.

The Big Boss Man to the WWE HOF
Mar 07, 2016
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
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.

Awards = HOF? Part Eighteen: The Edgar Martinez Award

From the Desk of the Chairman
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.
