You would think that if you were at one time the biggest star on the Motown label, you would be a lock for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame spot. With Mary Wells, we find that is not necessarily the case.

The consummate mechanic in the ring, few (if any) made Professional Wrestling look more fluid than “Cowboy” Bob Orton.  If given the opportunity, Orton would have the longest and best match on the card and could make any opponent look like a million dollars.  Bob Orton did not win a lot of titles, but with this role, he didn’t have to.  Despite being the father of current WWE Superstar Randy Orton, this is a very legitimate induction and likely would have happened regardless of Randy’s success.

At one point, Tito Santana could have made a claim to have been the best Mexican-American wrestler that the WWE ever had.  A consummate professional, Santana held both the Intercontinental and World Tag Team Titles twice and was a popular draw for Vince for nearly ten years.  Few wrestlers were ever as dependable as Tito Santana.
