The CFL HOF announces their latest class
Mar 24, 2017
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
The Canadian Football Hall of Fame has announced their 2017 Class and it doesn’t get more loaded with offensive firepower than this group.
The headliner for most, is former Quarterback, Anthony Calvillo, the Canadian Football League’s all-time leader in virtually every statistic from his position. Calvillo, a product of Utah State, has 79,816 Passing Yards, by far the most in professional football. He also has 455 Touchdown Passes and 5,892 Completions. He debuted for the Las Vegas Posse, moved to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, but it was his third and final team where he became the best in the CFL.
That team was the Montreal Allouettes, a team he would take to three Grey Cup Titles and where he would win the league’s Most Outstanding Player Award three times.
The elite pivot is joined by former Wide Receiver, Geroy Simon, who is the CFL’s all-time leader in Receiving Yards and receptions. Simon spent twelve of his fifteen seasons in the CFL with the B.C. Lions where he would help them win three Grey Cups. The former Maryland Terrapin would win the Most Outstanding Player Award in 2006.
Two other players and two builders were also selected.
Kelvin Anderson, a two time Grey Cup Champion was a Running Back who topped 1,000 Yards eight times. Out of Southeast Missouri State, Anderson was the 1996 CFL Rookie of the Year.
Canadian Linebacker, Mike O’Shea is second all-time in Tackles in the CFL and is a three time Grey Cup Champion. He is currently the Head Coach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Long time Coach and Executive, Stan Schwartz and college Head Coach, Brian Towriss were also chosen.
The ceremony will take place in mid-September of this year.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate this latest class.

More WWE HOF Inductors announced
Mar 23, 2017
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
The WWE Hall of Fame ceremony has announced additional inductors, as former WCW Executive and RAW General Manager, Eric Bischoff will be inducting Diamond Dallas Page and current WWE Diva Natalya will be inducting former multi-time Women’s Champion, Beth Phoenix.
Both Dallas Page and Eric Bischoff cut their teeth in the wrestling industry in the American Wrestling Association in the last 80’s. The two, though not together would both have failed tryouts in the then named World Wrestling Federation but would find themselves in World Championship Wrestling, Bischoff as a low level announcer and Page as a mid card manager, though the two friends would find themselves ascend through the 1990’s in much larger positions.
As Bischoff gained charge of WCW, Page would slowly morph into one of the top workers and would feud with Eric Bischoff and the New World Order, even so much as being on opposing tag teams on a WCW Pay per View.
In the case of Nattie Neidhart, she an on-screen pairing with Phoenix in a “pin-up string” tag team. Both Neidhart and Phoenix were precursors to the “Women’s Revolution” and were both accomplished performers in the ring and were physically stronger than their peers.
This announcement adds to Jim Cornette as the inductor for the Rock and Roll Express, John Cena as Kurt Angle’s inductor, the A.P.A. as Teddy Long’s inductor and Ricky Steamboat inducting Rick Rude.

Our Top 50 All-Time Atlanta Hawks are now up
Mar 20, 2017
Published in
Not in Hall of Fame News
Always onward and upward for us here at Notinhalloffame.com!
We are ready to unveil a new Top 50, and once again it comes from the hardwood. It is the Top 50 of the Atlanta Hawks.
The franchise began in Buffalo in 1946 as the Bisons in the NBL, though they were only there for a month relocating to Moline, Illinois where they were rechristened the Tri-Cities Blackhawks and would be part of the merger of the NBL and NBA in 1949.
The team would relocate to Milwaukee in in 1951 upon the realization that Moline was too small to support the team. Now named the Milwaukee Hawks, the franchise stayed there for only four years, but it do one major thing of note; it drafted Bob Pettit.
The last half of the 1950’s and early 1960’s were the best in franchise history. Now relocated to St. Louis, the Pettit led Hawks went to four NBA Finals (1957, 1958, 1960 & 1961) and would win the NBA Title in ’58, which to date is the only title the team has won. The Hawks continued to b good through the 60’s, but despite the solid crowds, the ownership sought a bigger facility, which the city of St. Louis was not willing to provide.
Relocating to Atlanta in 1968, the Hawks have yet to make the Finals since their relocation despite multiple trips to the playoffs. Currently, they have the second longest drought of not winning the NBA Title, though this does not mean that this list does not include some excellent players.
The entire list can be found here but for those who want a sneak peak, the top five are:
1. Bob Pettit
2. Dominique Wilkins
3. Cliff Hagen
4. John Drew
5. Lou Hudson
This list takes into account traditional statistics, advanced metrics and playoff performance.
It is up to the end of the 2015-16 Season.
We will be continuing our ongoing process of Top 50 teams with a return to the diamond, the Milwaukee Brewers.
As always, we thank you for your support!

Jim Cornette to induct the Rock and Roll Express
Mar 20, 2017

Not in Hall of Fame News
We love this!
It was announced today on WWE.Com that Jim Cornette will be the inductor for the Rock and Roll Express’s WWE Hall of Fame induction.
On his podcast, Cornette stated that he would be honored to induct the tag team but he speculated that due to comments he has made about the world’s biggest wrestling promotion after he was fired over a decade ago that he would never be invited. We think that he must be pleasantly surprised by this news.
Cornette was the long time manager of the Midnight Express, comprising “Beautiful” Bobby Eaton, “Loverboy” Dennis Condrey and later “Sweet” Stan Lane, and it was team that feuded with the Rock and Roll Express for years and over differing promotions. It is near impossible to think of Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson without imagining Cornette holding a tennis racket berating the fan favorites.
With Cornette appearing on WWE TV again, perhaps this could lead to an eventual induction for Cornette himself, who we feel is very deserving.
He is currently ranked #23 by us on our Notinhalloffame.com WWE HOF list.
I think we can all agree that the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony just became a lot more interesting!
