Not in Hall of Fame News

Damn, this is a long process isn’t it? We have told you that we are looking to do for each major North American Franchise in professional sports their top 50 players.  There have been quite a few that we have done, but as you know there are a lot more left to do! As such, we have another team whose top 50 players we are ready to announce, in our opinion of course. It is a return to Motown, with multi-time World Series Champion, the Detroit Tigers. As one of the more successful and tenured franchises in Major League Baseball,…
We here at Notinhalloffame.com have put in a lot of effort in regards to the WWE section, but we have not exactly given as much attention as we should to the Celebrity Wing.  That has changed today. We have had in the past seen celebrities enter the WWE Hall of Fame who frankly were not on our radar (namely Snoop Dogg) so expansion seemed like the natural thing to do.  As such, our top 10 has expanded to 29, and here is the necessary information to the new entrants. Here is the 29 Celebrity possibilities for the WWE Hall of…
We love days like this! Today the Hockey Hall of Fame announced the 2016 Hockey Hall of Fame Class and without any clear cut nominees it opened up the chance for other entries to enter the hallowed halls of Toronto.  This is exactly what happened today. Eric Lindros, the former NHL Hart Trophy winner will headline this year’ class.  Lindros was forced to retire early due to concussions but was still able to be a Point per Game player with 865 career Points.  Lindros was a seven time NHL All Star and was ranked #1 on our Notinhalloffame.com Hockey List.…
OK, gang!  It’s that time again! Last September, Notinhalloffame.com announced the launch of the Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a sister of our Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame, which inducted its first full class on December 2, 2014. The first full class of the Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which was inducted last year comprised The Blues Brothers, Spinal Tap and the Monkees; all of which were considered controversial though all had a fictional story about them. This year as the result of your online votes the 2016 Semi-Finalists have been chosen.  The Semi-Finalists are: 1. …

RIP: "Billy Bob"

Fans of our Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame likely remember the late 1990’s film, Varsity Blues.  Sadly, we learned that Ron Lester, who played troubled Offensive Lineman, “Billy Bob” passed away at the age of 45. Lester, who was morbidly obese during the time of the film, had lost most of that weight and did not look remotely like his former self.  Despite that weight loss (or perhaps because of it), Lester developed severe kidney and liver problems and had been in the hospital the last four months.  He was taken off of life support, as per his request. The…
The UFC Hall of Fame has announced its latest entrant into their Hall of Fame, and the third officially in their Fight Wing. The Pete Williams VS Mark Coleman fight from UFC 17 in 1998 will be inducted.  The fight saw Williams defeat the heavily favored Coleman with a stiff head kick.  The underdog took the fight on two weeks notice and despite taking a severe pounding during the contest only to score a quick win in overtime.  This fight joins the Stephan Bonnar VS Forrest Griffin match from the Ultimate Fighter I Finale and the Matt Hughes VS Frank…
Every year it seems that we here at Notinhalloffame.com talk about the TNA Hall of Fame and openly ask if with the financial state of the wrestling promotion whether they will be around along enough to induct another performer. We ask that question again as this week they have announced the selection of their first female entrant, Gail Kim, to their Hall. This is an excellent choice as the Canadian wrestler was what the TNA women’s division was built on and for a time it could be stated that TNA put out some of the best women’s wrestling in America…

RIP: Gordie Howe

One of the greatest, if not, the greatest hockey players has passed away today. Gordie Howe, the man known affectionately to the world as “Mr. Hockey” died at age 88.  Howe did it all in the game of Hockey.  He is a former multi-time Hart Trophy Winner.  He won the Stanley Cup multiple times.  He retired as the game’s leading scorer (since surpassed) and is unequivocally the most durable player in the fame’s history enjoying a thirty-three year career in the game. Born in Floral, Saskatchewan, the Right Winger first joined the Detroit Red Wings in the 1946-47 season and…
We have another major update here at Notinhalloffame.com. Our Notinhalloffame.com WWE list has finally been updated and as has happened every year has expanded.  This year we have gone from 333 to 365.  Why the 10 percent increase in entries?  Simply put, the creation of the WWE Legends Wing has opened up a large amount of pre-WWE wrestlers who were not previously considered to be recognized on our list.  First off, let’s get to the new Top Ten, which has showcases some new entries. #1.  Vince McMahon McMahon returns to the top spot and love him or hate him nobody…

Known as “The Predator”, Don Frye had a 9 and 1 record in the UFC, most famously winning a tournament in UFC 8, and the Ultimate Ultimate the following year.  Frye would later compete in PRIDE, where he had one of the most memorable brawls in Mixed Martial Arts history when he fought Yoshihiro Takiyama. In his career, Frye has defeated the likes of Ken…
