Committee Chairman

Committee Chairman

Kirk Buchner, "The Committee Chairman", is the owner and operator of the site.  Kirk can be contacted at [email protected] .
Now both the Baseball and Football Hall of Fame ceremonies are on the horizon, but it was the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the controversy that come with it that began this site in the first place. 

In the past, along with regular contributors, Sphensiscus and DDT, we have done projections as to who we thought would be the nominees for the Hall, but at the suggestion of Spheniscus, we put together a dream ballot of the fifteen acts, we want to see nominated and why.
We can’t lie to you.  The passing of former Major League Baseball Pitcher, Billy Pierce, completely slipped by us and we thank regular contributor, D.K. Orlandini for alerting us to his passing on July 31 at the age of 88.

Pierce would spend the majority of his eighteen year career with the Chicago White Sox, where the southpaw would make all of his seven All Star Teams and was a two time 20 Game winner.  His best season would be in 1955 where he would lead the American League in Earned Run Average, FIP, ERA+, WHIP and SO/BB.  In other years he would lead the AL in Wins (1957) and in Strikeouts (1953).

The Pitcher would complete his career with a record of 211 and 169, 1,999 Strikeouts and a bWAR of 53.1.

The highest that Pierce has ever received in Hall of Fame voting was a miniscule 1.9 percent in 1971, however as recent as 2014, he was on the Hall of Fame Veteran’s ballot, indicating he may yet have a shot one day.  We here at Notinhalloffame.com have him ranked at #64 on our latest baseball list.

We would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Billy Pierce at this time.



The United States Hockey Hall of Fame has announced the next four members of their institution.

The Class of 2016 will comprise:

Chris Drury

Drury was a former NHL Centre who scored over 600 Points and was a member of the 2001 Stanley Cup Championship Team with the Colorado Avalanche.  Drury would win the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s top rookie in 1999, the year after he would capture the Hobey Baker Award as MVP in NCAA. Internationally, he would represent the United States in three Olympics (winning two Silver Medals), the 2004 World Cup of Hockey and in three World Championships.

Mathieu Schneider

A twenty-one year veteran of the NHL, the Defenceman had 743 Points in 1,289 Games and was a member of the 1993 Stanley Cup Champion Montreal Canadians.  Schneider would be a part of the 1996 World Cup of Hockey Team and was a three time Olympian.

Angela Ruggerio

A fifteen year member of the U.S. National Women’s Hockey Team, Ruggerio suited up for more than 250 Games internationally where the Defenceman was part of four World Championships and an Olympic Gold Medal. 

Ron DeGregorio

The President of U.S.A. Hockey for the last dozen years and the recipient of the Lester Patrick award in 2003.

The ceremony will official take place in Boston on December 17 of this year.



We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the new class of the United States Hockey Hall of Fame, and applaud their growth over the past ten years. 

In between the deaths of WWE Hall of Famers, Dusty Rhodes and Roddy Piper, a former title holder in the WWE retired to little fanfare.

The winner of the 2006 WWE Diva Search and former WWE Woman’s Champion and Diva’s Champion, Layla El has announced that she will be retiring from professional wrestling at the age of 38.

The former England born Miami Heat cheerleader, did not make that much of a splash after debuting in the WWE, and really wasn’t focused much until she was moved to the ECW brand and was paired with Brooke and Kelly Kelly as “Extreme Expose”, a dance troupe who did get somewhat regular television time on the E’s third brand.  The group would disband and while she would wrestle on occasion but it was not until she was drafted to RAW where she would be able to show a little more of her personality.

It was shown initially with a pairing with Steven Regal and that heel persona would serve her even better on Smackdown where her pairing with Michelle McCool as “LayCool” was easily the highlight of both of their careers. 

Layla’s retirement asks us this question…is she a WWE Hall of Famer?

Our gut instinct is that she is not, and while she is a former women’s champion and someone who helped change the ethnic makeup of the women’s roster, the fact was that she was just a passable wrestler and we are not even sure that she makes our top 300 list once we revise that in the upcoming year.



Wrestling fans, we would love to hear your take on this one!
