We owe all of you an apology, as we have been a little slow in revamping our WWE Celebrity Rankings. With that being said, we are very pleased to announce the new top ten personalities who should be considered for the WWE Celebrity Wing.
Before we go into the new list, the Celebrity List of the WWE Hall of Fame could very well be exponentially more controversial than the performer list. Inductees like Drew Carey and William “The Refrigerator” Perry, who have only appeared on one WWE show, does not exactly scream Hall of Fame in any capacity. The most recent selections of Mr. T and Donald Trump, who we had ranked at numbers 3 and 5 respectively were much better selections in our opinion, and had Carey and Perry not entered the WWE Hall of Fame, we are not certain that they would have made our ten.
With that said, we would like to announce our new top ten for the Celebrity wing to consider for the 2015 WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony!
Muhammad Ali, the former three-time Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the World remains in the top slot. Ali, who was clearly influenced by Professional Wrestling in his promos, competed against WWE Hall of Famer and Japanese legend, Antonio Inoki, was the special referee in Wrestlemania I, and made multiple appearances in wrestling events during his life. Ali, in our opinion, should have been the first person in any “Celebrity Wing” for the WWE Hall of Fame.
Cyndi Lauper, who moved up from number four from our last list, holds the number two slot. Lauper, who was an integral part of the original Rock and Wrestling Connection in the mid-80’s, made an appearance recently on Monday Night Raw, which reminded people of what her real impact on the WWE was.
Andy Kaufman drops from number two to three. The former star of TAXI, made headlines with his feud with Jerry “The King” Lawler in the Memphis territory, and was a passionate fan of professional wrestling.
Floyd “Money” Mayweather, who defeated the Big Show at one of the Wrestlemanias elevates from number six to four. The boxer, who has had Triple H in his corner at Pay-Per-View Boxing Events has long been a fan of the WWE.
Former WCW World Heavyweight Champion, David Arquette, moves from number seven to five. Arquette, who appeared often on WCW Television in 2000, also had a brief appearance on WWE TV, the decade after.
Maria Menounos, who appeared at Wrestlemania and has been a huge advocate of the WWE debuts at number six and is a new rank for the WWE Celebrity Wing of the Hall of Fame. Based on her support of the organization, we think she we will move up in our rankings.
The remaining ten are former Wrestlemania main eventer, Lawrence Taylor at seven, William Shatner at number eight, Dennis Rodman at number nine and Regis Philbin, who makes his debut at number ten. Philbin not only appeared at Wrestlemania VII, but has long track record of interviewing (and not in a condescending way) past WWE talent.
We encourage you to make your voices heard and give us your opinions and votes.
