The Tony Schiavone run in the WWE lasted less than a year, and his last few years working for World Championship Wrestling were not inspiring, but he was the voice of the number two promotion for years, and did a very good job at it for years.  Should the WWE Hall of Fame look to induct another announcer, this is not a bad choice providing you forget what he did in the last millennium.

The San Francisco territory was a vibrant territory and it was under the guidance of Roy Shire, who built the Cow Palace into a West Coast Mecca for Professional Wrestling.  While Shire was a major figure in growing the business in Northern California, he did not get inducted during the Wrestlemania festivities in the Bay Area, a clear indication that his HOF chances are nil.

Hisahi Shinma, the figurehead President of the WWE before Jack Tunney was “elected” to that post, but he is on this list for the way he brokered talent from New Japan to the WWE during the late 70’s and early 80’s.  That brokerage helped get Tatsumi Fujinami inducted this year.

Tony Marino had a decent run in the WWWF and in the NWA.  His WWWF performances saw him win the WWWF International Tag Team Title twice, one with Bruno Sammartino, who would bring him into the Pittsburgh territory where he would compete as Battman, and yes we mean that Batman; completely decked out as the Caped Crusader.
