As one of the original hardcore icons, Abdullah the Butcher became a star on various continents and winning more titles internationally than many casual fans may have realized.  He was violent, shocking and scary and did it all without uttering a single word.  Abdullah was not just a brawler with foreign objects; as he could wrestle where needed and had underappreciated ring psychology.  He is a recent inductee to the WWE Hall of Fame despite having never competed there.  Considering his iconic status, it is not a complete shock.

As one of the elder statesman of the WWE, William Regal doesn’t see a whole lot of ring time anymore.  This is a shame as there are few who can match Regal’s in ring skills.  A legitimate tough guy and technical marvel, Regal lit up WCW rings with solid matches through the mid 90’s and was poised to the same in the WWE.  Drug issues delayed his WWE stardom but once he got going for them, he was firmly established in the middle of the card and could always be counted on to produce.  Oh, and did we mention that he has the best facial expressions in the business?  That alone gets him our WWE Hall of Vote.

With her blend of beauty, strength and personality, Lisa Marie Varon portrayed “Vicotria” in the WWE, and though she was successful in the Women’s division, she probably could have done a lot more if she was given the right opportunity. Still, her athletic skills allowed her to shine in the ring; when permitted of course.

Torrie Wilson may not have been much of a wrestler, but when you look like her, you didn’t have to be. With her sexuality, personality and All-American good looks, she was one of the best valets ever in a major wrestling promotion regardless of whether she was a heel or face. Very few women could pull that off.
