Didn’t this seem like it already existed? The Premier League will be launching a Hall of Fame, with two players to be inducted. The EPL, which was founded in 1992, is considered to be the top professional soccer league in the world. As the name suggests, only accomplishments made in the EPL will be part of the consideration. Those who are inducted, will receive a personalised medallion. At present, there is an English Football Hall of Fame, which began operation in 2002. We here at Notinhalloffame.com are ecstatic about this new Hall, and we can’t wait to see how it progresses.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame will have two ceremonies

Committee Chairman
We were wondering how they were going to do this. The Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2020 is the largest of all-time, and it was announced that it will span over two ceremonies. The Regular Class will take place on August 8, coinciding with the beginning of the NFL pre-season. The Centennial Class will be inducted on September, 18, which will not receive the same national coverage. As such, this has angered some of the fan bases, who have hoped that their respective candidate wild receive their proper due. We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to again congratulate the…

Committee Chairman
While this hasn’t been confirmed by the WWE, it was reported by WhatCulture.com that Bret “Hit Man” Hart will be the one who will be inducting the British Bulldog into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. At one time, Bret and Davey were brothers-in-law, as Smith married Bret’s sister, Diana. The two worked together often in Stampede Wrestling in Calgary, and when they arrived in the WWF together in the mid-80’s they wrestled against each other often in their respective tag teams, The Hart Foundation and the British Bulldogs. By the early 90s, both Hart and Smith were singles wrestlers…
Darren Sproles feels he is a Hall of Famer

Committee Chairman
In a recent TMZ Post, Darren Sproles, who retired last season said that he feels he is a Hall of Famer. That probably won’t happen. This is not a shot on Sproles, who played 14 seasons with stops in San Diego, New Orleans, and Philadelphia. Despite what Deion Sanders said a few weeks ago, the threshold for enshrinement is very high. A three-time Pro Bowl Selection, Sproles was a multi-faceted offensive dynamo. On the ground, he rushed for 3,552 Yards and 23 Touchdowns. In the air, he caught 553 Receptions for 4,840 Yards and 32 Touchdowns. That gives him a very good total of 8,392…

Committee Chairman
As speculated, on last night’s Friday Night Smackdown, the Bella Twins (Brie & Nikki) were announced as the newest members for this year’s WWE Hall of Fame Class. Signed to WWE Developmental in 2007, they made their debut on the main roster in 2008. Their first few years were non-eventful, as they were involved in mediocre storylines, and often served as arm candy to the Guest Hosts on Monday Night Raw. Both twins would win the Diva’s Championship in 2012, but they would leave the WWE in April of that year. The came back before Wrestlemania I 2013, but they would have…

Yes, we know that this is taking a while! As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.

When the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame announced their Finalists, Chris Bosh was left off of it. This is his first year of eligibility after being forced to retire due to issues with blood clots in 2014. He had this to say on his Instagram: "I'm going to be honest with you. I'm a competitor, man. I've been competing my whole life. A lot of people don't really know that about me, but I'm a fierce competitor. Losing bothers me. Coming up short bothers me. It always has, you know, since the moment I started playing basketball and it kind of bleeds…

Committee Chairman
Normally we wait until it is confirmed by the WWE, but when it is reported by Dave Meltzer of f4wrestling.com, we tend it believe that this is will come to fruition. On his recent Wrestling Observer Radio show, Meltzer said that the late Davey Boy Smith will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame for the Class of 2021. From England, Smith would cut his teeth in Stu Hart’s Stampede Wrestling and Japan in the late 70s and early 80s. Smith and his regular tag team partner, The Dynamite Kid, were brought into the WWF in early 1984, and the British Bulldogs…

A few weeks ago, the Baseball Hall of Fame announced their 2020 Baseball Hall of Fame Class. The result was that Derek Jeter (on his first ballot), and Larry Walker (on his tenth and final) were chosen to enter Cooperstown. The two will join former Catcher, Ted Simmons, who was elected by the Veteran’s Committee. All three of those former players were ranked in the top ten, and have been removed from the list. For the first time since we began this list in 2010, there is no new entry in our top 15. Actually, there is no new entry in the top 50. This…
