Committee Chairman

Committee Chairman

Kirk Buchner, "The Committee Chairman", is the owner and operator of the site.  Kirk can be contacted at [email protected] .



A few weeks ago, World Wrestling Entertainment inducted the Class of 2014 to their Hall of Fame.  As is tradition with our website, once a Class is inducted, we move on to the rankings of the next possible class, which will again come to life the night before Wrestlemania.

Two of our top ten (The Ultimate Warrior and Jake “The Snake” Roberts) were selected and once again the top of our rankings will see a significant change.  As always, votes and comments made by all of you affect the rankings, and we continue to solicit your input for the future.

Randy “Macho Man” Savage and Vince McMahon remain 1 and “1A” in our rankings.  The Undertaker, Lou Thesz and the Rock who were ranked at 2, 3 and 4 respectively remain in that position.  A minor switch based on your votes has flipped Bruiser Brody and Triple H from the 5 and 6 spot, and Ivan Koloff moves back into the top ten with a jump from 11 to 7.  Sting, The Fabulous Freebirds and the Destroyer round out the top ten.

We have moved some talent from the futures section to the main list.  The highest addition is Kurt Angle, who debuts at the #13 slot.  Although Angle is still somewhat active in TNA, based on the high tally of his injuries and his age, we are hoping that he will retire sooner than later.  The former multi time WWE Champion is already in the TNA Hall of Fame, where he was the second inductee behind Sting.

Angle is the only new addition to the top 100.  Others who are making their first appearance to the Notinhalloffame.com top 300 WWE list are Jerry Jarrett (139), Kensuke Sasaki (156), Bruce Prichard (169), D-Lo Brown (200), Billy Kidman (214), The Great Sasuke (230), Buff Bagwell (237) and Victoria (250).

As always, we want to hear your thoughts and encourage you to cast your votes.






As you know, we are going to be launching in the summer of this year a look (and ranking) of the major North American Sports and their post career accolades.  This means retired numbers and respective Halls of Fame if applicable.  As such, we thought it was pertinent to mention that the New England Patriots Hall of Fame have announced three Finalists for their 2014 Class.

The first is recent Football Hall of Fame Inductee, Bill Parcells.  Parcells, returned to Head Coaching after a two year hiatus in 1993 and in his second season took the Patriots to their first playoff season in eight years.  He was there for four seasons, the last of which, he had his team advance to the Super Bowl, though the Green Bay Packers defeated them.

The second is Ty Law, who was with the Patriots from 1995 to 2004 and was a three time Super Bowl Champion.  Law earned four Pro Bowl and one First Team All Pro Selections as a member of the New England Patriots and led the NFL in Interceptions in 1998.

The third is Raymond Clayborn, a Cornerback who played for the Pats from 1977 to 1989.  Clayborn had 36 Interceptions and was selected for three Pro Bowls.

The Patriots Hall of Fame first took place in 1991 and currently has their own facility.  Their Hall of Fame is a representation of what other NFL teams and for that matter other North American Sports Teams should look at.  Fans will determine the next inductee via their voting, which will take place between now and May 15. 




In what we thought was an interesting comment, Green Bay Packers President, Mark Murphy mentioned to WHBL Radio that he wanted to retire former Quarterback, Brett Favre’s #4 last fall.  According to Murphy, plans fell through when the High School team that Favre was coaching in Mississippi had a deep post season run, which kept him occupied. 

Murphy also stated that he has a good relationship with the former “gunslinger” which is worth noting as his “will he or won’t he retire” caused turmoil for the Packers organization and his departure was not as clean as either side would have liked. 
Brett Favre is eligible for the Football Hall of Fame in 2016, and many believe that he is likely to be a first ballot inductee.  Murphy mentioned that he wanted to retire his number prior to that occurrence. 

If Favre is the next player to have his number retired by the Green Bay Packers, he will be 6th player in Green Bay history to receive this honor.  He would join Tony Caadeo (#3), Don Hutson (#14), Bart Starr (#15), Ray Nitschke (#66) and Reggie White (#92).



We look forward to seeing if the Green Bay Packers retire the number four this season an if so, we will certainly be paying attention!




The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame continues to be a source of controversy, but the second most important music related Hall of Fame in the United States continues along without any real issues.  We are referring to the Country Music Hall of Fame, which supports a musical genre that continues to grow in popularity.  The Country Music Hall is reflecting that success as this past Tuesday, its expansion has completed, and it is now double in size.

Located in Downtown Nashville, the facility’s growth predominantly reflects many of the Country acts, and the evolution to today’s sound.  One such exhibit pairs current and past acts (ie: their mentors) and how their music evolved. 

Taylor Swift is a large part of the renovated Hall of Fame.  One of her old tour buses is on display, and there is an education center in her name, which was funded by her four million dollar donation. 

In our eyes, the most exciting addition is an 800 seat theatre that can house concerts; which will now be a regular part of the Hall of Fame.  We had never really considered doing a road trip to the Country Hall of Fame, though it has now moved up several notches in our eyes.
