It was announced yesterday that WWE Hall of Fame inductee, Verne Gagne passed away at the age of 89 from Alzheimer’s disease. 

Gagne was the owner and promoter of the American Wrestling Association, which for decades was one of the most successful wrestling promotions in the world.  Gagne, a former Olympic wrestler, was not just the promoter, but the main star, and he was a ten time champion there. 

Gagne was not just a great in ring worker, but a highly regarded trainer who trained legends like Ric Flair, The Iron Sheik, Bob Backlund, Curt Hennig and Ricky Steamboat.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Verne Gagne.






Los Angeles based band, Motley Crue, was asked about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Rolling Stone Magazine, and their comments of course is news to us.  After all, that is what we do here at Notinhalloffame.com!

Below are some of the comments from the band regarding the Rock Hall:

From Guitarist, Mick Mars:

“Honestly, I don't think it'll happen.  We were there when the thing was being built; we had to wear hard hats while we were walking around the building site. They were like, 'One of these days, you guys will be in here!' Right. [Laughs] I'd have to say, 80 percent no, 20 percent yeah. But it's like when you're a kid in kindergarten, and you take a nap and get a gold star as a reward. I don't need a few handful of people to say that I got a gold star, because I already got it from my fans. I see the crowds, I see the enthusiasm, I see all that stuff, and that's already satisfying enough for me."

From Drummer, Tommy Lee:

“I do give a shit about it, because it's a time-stamp, it's the acknowledgement of your peers and fans and the music industry, But then again, there's a part of me that goes, 'If we don't, that's fucking cool, too!' In my heart, I know that we came, we saw, we kicked its fucking ass; I don't need a pat on the back, or an induction, or another platinum album or two. Maybe I'm just not good with compliments.”

From Guitarist, Nikki Sixx:

"I'm not one of these cranky guys about it, "But I think if they got it a little bit righter, people would respect it a little bit more. Honestly, there are a lot of bands previous to Mötley Crüe that deserve to be in, if it's actually about influencing other musicians and making an impact on the planet. You know, the bands that have gotten in the last few years, it's cool; but let's go back and look at the people who curated this great music a little bit more. I mean, I'm a huge Mott the Hoople fan; if Mötley Crüe got in before Mott the Hoople, I'd snap! [Laughs] I'd be like, 'I'm sorry, but Ian Hunter, this is for you!'"

From Lead Singer, Vince Neil:

“Look, Kiss just got in, for chrissakes! They should have been in 15 or 20 years ago. We'll probably go in at some point, but we might not all be alive when it happens. Our grandkids will probably have to pick up the awards!"

At present, Motley Crue is currently ranked #78 by Notinhalloffame.com on the Rock and Roll list, up from 87, form our original ranking.

As it stands now, we are skeptical that the band will ever make the Hall of Fame, as are the band itself, but the attitude they have towards it makes us want to see them get in. 








Although he is already on our Notinhalloffame.com Baseball list, and has not swung a bat professionally in nine years, Bernie Williams has officially retired from Major League Baseball.

While there was no real doubt that Williams would not attempt a comeback, he is scheduled to be honored by the New York Yankees next month by the retirement of his number and with a plaque at famed Monument Park outside of Yankee Stadium.  This alleviates the organization retiring the number of a player who is still technically active.

Williams spent his entire sixteen year career with the Yankees winning four World Series Titles, blasting 287 Home Runs with 2,336 Hits and a .297 Batting Average.  Williams would go to five All Star Games, win four Gold Gloves and win one Batting Title. 

While Bernie Williams is not likely to enter the Baseball Hall of Fame, his spot in Monument Park is well deserved.

While we thought it nine years ago, thank you Bernie Williams for being a great New York Yankee and a great player.




Former San Francisco 49ers Offensive Lineman, Bob St. Clair passed away today at the age of 84.

St. Clair played all eleven seasons with the Niners from 1953 to 1963 and was chosen for five Pro Bowls and the 1950’s All Decade Team.  He would receive the ultimate honor when in 1990 he was chosen for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.  A decade later, San Francisco would retire his number.

The former lineman was entrenched in the San Francisco community and this is a huge loss for the area. 

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Bob St. Clair.
