If you think that all of the Turn of the Century Baseball Players that should be in the Hall of Fame is already in, then we ask you to think again.  We offer you the case of “Bad” Bill Dahlen, whose Hall of Fame campaign is being championed by sabremetricians and traditionalists alike.

We thought hell froze over when Bret Hart got inducted, but the when the recipient of the “New York City Screwjob” got inducted we wondered if Hell collapsed.  Considering that Wendi Richter’s last appearance in a WWE ring was losing the Women’s Title to the Fabulous Moolah (which she was not scheduled to do) and her subsequent departure from the company, it would be difficult to think that anyone thought she was going to go to the Hall of Fame.  We are glad that she did get inducted, because for those who don’t remember, Wendi Richter was one of the most popular wrestlers (male or female) in the WWE in 1985 and was herself a huge part of the Rock and Wrestling Wars.  She deserves to be in primarily for her work in 1984 and 1985 alone.

An exceptional worker who was one of the best at his craft, Ted DiBiase truly became a superstar when he became the embodiment of wealth; “The Million Dollar Man”.  With a fistful of Ben Franklins and a maniacal laugh, fans flocked to see DiBiase get what was coming to him, and whether he won or lost, they knew they had witnessed one hell of a match.  DiBiase still makes periodic appearances with the WWE, only now fans applaud that trademark laugh.

The patriarch of the Hart Family, Stu Hart was an accomplished wrestler, but this isn’t the reason that he got inducted.  Stu was a successful promoter in the Calgary area, making that territory a region worth watching.  More over, Stu Hart’s primary contribution to wrestling was as the trainer to countless future superstars that would add three pages just to this article.  This is a very worthy induction, and by no means done just to appease Bret Hart.
