First forming in the early 70’s, the team of Blackjack Mulligan and Blackjack Lanza may have been in the mold of other rough Texas cowboy tandems, but the black leather clad duo ran rough shot over their opponents in many regions.  Their apex as a team occurred in 1975 when they captured the WWF World Tag Team belts.  The Blackjacks would both go on to have very successful solo careers, which saw Mulligan compete for multiple NWA territories and Lanza would become a long time road agent with the WWE.

Sherri Martel was an excellent wrestler, but it was a vicious manager that she really shined.  She was the perfect second to Randy Savage’s second WWF heel run and she could generate more heat than any other female until Vickie Guerrero appeared on the scene.  She deserved her Hall of Fame induction but some of those she managed should have gotten in first.

A long time announcer for the AWA, WWF and WCW, Gene Okerlund was the favorite broadcaster of many a wrestling fan.  His smooth delivery and signature voice was only matched by his likable nature.  Few can debate the legitimacy of this induction.

A very successful manager in the Memphis area, Jimmy Hart entered the WWF in early 1985 and quickly became one of the top managers there guiding a unique stable of wrestlers for years.  With his loud suits, obnoxious megaphone and willingness to do anything to entertain the fans, Jimmy Hart was a great addition to the WWE and wrestling in general.
