WWE Fringe Candidates (7)

Just what do mean by a fringe candidate? We are talking about people who have given something tangible to the wrestling community but would not make our list of the top one hundred.

Tony Schiavone

The long time voice of the NWA and WCW, Tony Schiavone was beloved by some and hated by others but heard by millions.  He was on the flagship broadcast of the number two (at times number one) company in a timeline that seemingly stretched to forever and that has to be worth something.  Or maybe not.

Should Tony Schiavone be in the Hall of Fame?

I totally agree with this induction. - 88.2%
I am fine with this induction. - 5.9%
I do not agree with this induction, but it does not bother me. - 0%
No opinion. - 0%
Kick him out! - 5.9%

Best known to the fans in America as the Spanish Announce Team who constantly watched their announce table get destroyed on 3,000 consecutive WWE pay per views, Hugo Savinovitch and Carlos Cabrera have been the Spanish voice of the WWE for years.  Cabrera was a former newscaster and Savinovitch a former wrestler and in their brief intro at every event they showcase an exuberance that makes English only speakers wish they could understand them.

Should Hugo Savinovitch and Carlos Cabrera be in the Hall of Fame?

Definitely put them in! - 87.5%
Maybe, but others deserve it first. - 4.2%
Probably not, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. - 4.2%
No opinion. - 0%
No way! - 4.2%

George Scott

An accomplished wrestler in his day, George Scott’s main contribution to wrestling may have been behind the scenes.  He was the booker for Jim Crockett Promotions in the 70’s, but his main contribution in terms of Stamford would be his organizational and booking skill for the inaugural Wrestlemania and other television programs.   He wasn’t with Vince for a long time, but it was valuable service that he gave.

Should George Scott be in the Hall of Fame?

Definitely put him in! - 57.1%
Maybe, but others deserve it first. - 0%
Probably not, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. - 0%
No opinion. - 0%
No way! - 42.9%

Dory Funk Sr.

Although both of his sons (Dory Jr. & Terry) far eclipsed his in ring accomplishments, Dory Funk Sr. was a decent wrestler in his own right.  Dory became a very effective promoter in the Amarillo area and made that region a hotbed for Texas wrestling.  His sons are already in the WWE Hall of Fame, and Dory Sr. would not be out of place with them.

Should Dory Funk Sr. be in the Hall of Fame?

Definitely put him in! - 60%
Maybe, but others deserve it first. - 0%
Probably not, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. - 20%
No opinion. - 0%
No way! - 20%

Danny McShain

Another great early Light Heavyweight, Danny McShain was a multi time NWA Light Heavyweight Champion and one of the best natural heels of his day.  His tough guy exterior was matched with a cocky attitude and he was hated, though respected, everywhere he performed.

 

Should Danny McShain be in the Hall of Fame?

Definitely put him in! - 100%
Maybe, but others deserve it first. - 0%
Probably not, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. - 0%
No opinion. - 0%
No way! - 0%

Chris Benoit

It seems unfathomable that Chris Benoit is in this category instead of being on the page as a lock for the Hall of Fame as his wrestling career would suggest.  Currently persona non grata within the WWE, it is extremely doubtful that this status will change, and due to his heinous actions, they probably shouldn’t.  Regardless, his wrestling skills had few peers (if any) even though these will likely never be shown on WWE programming again.

Should Chris Benoit be in the Hall of Fame?

Definitely put him in! - 61.8%
Maybe, but others deserve it first. - 2.9%
Probably not, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. - 7.4%
No opinion. - 0%
No way! - 27.9%

Bill Apter

Before the days of cable TV and National wrestling promotions, Bill Apter’s series of magazines (Pro Wrestling Illustrated, Inside Wrestling and The Wrestler) were often the best way for fans to know what was going on in the wrestling world outside of their territory.  Even today in the era of globalization and the internet, the PWI 500 issue remains an anticipated issue for the magazine.  Wrestling fans may not know Apter’s name, but many know the publications he created.

Should Bill Apter be in the Hall of Fame?

Definitely put him in! - 0%
Maybe, but others deserve it first. - 66.7%
Probably not, but it wouldn't be the end of the world. - 0%
No opinion. - 0%
