This was another induction that shocked us, as the career of Gorgeous George predated the WWE completely.  With that said, there was NOBODY else who was made for televised wrestling in the 1950’s than Gorgeous George.  He wrestled under his real name, George Wagner, for the first decade of his career to limited success.  It was when he donned a character of an effeminate nature that he truly drew monster heat and became one of the biggest draws of the country.  Considering that wrestling is basically called “Sports Entertainment” by the powers that be in the WWE, it stands to reason that the industry’s first real Sports Entertainer is inducted.  We wonder though, if this induction means that other stars of the 50’s and before could be headed towards the WWE Hall of Fame?
