Not in Hall of Fame News
Vin Scully does not endorse Pete Rose for the Baseball Hall
Feb 29, 2016
Written by
Committee Chairman
Pete Rose apparently has another detractor for his Hall of Fame bid. In an interview with the AARP Bulletin, the man who in our opinion (and we would like to think everyone else too) is the greatest baseball broadcaster that ever existed, Vin Scully, was asked if he would vote for Pete Rose, who has been banned from Major League Baseball for gambling on the game. Scully was direct in his answer: “I wouldn’t. Should he be in? He should be. But by his own hand, he locked the door and kept himself outside.” This is huge for two reasons. …

We have changed our logo! Deep Purple out, Janet Jackson in
Feb 27, 2016
Written by
Committee Chairman
It’s that time again for us at Notinhalloffame.com. As you may have noticed, our main logo always features four people/artists who have been considered by us to be egregious snubs by their respective Halls of Fame. Some of those images have not changed, as hockey broadcaster, Don Cherry has been part of the logo from day one. Some, we don’t expect to change, as we will be very surprised if Barry Bonds will ever be chosen by the Baseball Hall of fame, though surprises do happen, such as when Randy Savage was selected to the WWE Hall of Fame. Saying…
RIP: Andy Bathgate

Written by
Committee Chairman
It was announced today that Hockey Hall of Fame inductee, Andy Bathgate, died today at the age of 83. Bathgate began his 17 year career with the New York Rangers, and in the 1950’s, the forward would become the team’s star and primary scoring threat. Bathgate would be a Second Team All Star in the 1957/58 season and was the runner-up for the Hart Trophy, but the season after he would win the Hart and would set a personal best with 88 Points. His star would continue to shine with the Rangers and he would tie for the league lead…
RIP: Tony "Duke" Evers

Committee Chairman
It is a sad day for the Rocky Universe. We here at Notinhalloffame.com and specifically our Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame are mourning the loss of actor, Tony Burton, who played Duke Evers in the Rocky series. Evers appeared in all six Rocky films, and was introduced as the trainer of World Heavyweight Champion, Apollo Creed. While Duke was never a main character, he was shown as far more than just a trainer as in the first two Rocky films, it was clear by the emotion he exhibited for his client that they were far more than just business associates. …

Committee Chairman
Two new inductors have been named for the upcoming Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony on April 8. Pioneering rap group, N.W.A., will be inducted by Kendrick Lamar, who has long cited the hip-hop icons as a major influence in his career. Kid Rock will be on hand to induct the Chicago based band, Cheap Trick. These two superstars will join Lars Ulrich (believed to be inducting Deep Purple) and The Black Keys (believed to be inducting Chicago). We are sure that there will be more news (and potentially drama) with the impending ceremony as it wouldn’t be a…

It was announced today that Charles Wright, who portrayed, “The Godfather”, “Papa Shango” and Kama Mustapha in the WWE, would be inducted into the promotion’s Hall of Fame. Wright first trained to be a professional wrestler in 1989 and at the insistence of his friend, the Undertaker, he was brought in to the WWF in early 1992. He was given the persona of Papa Shango, a voodoo priest and he would feud with the Ultimate Warrior. The Shango character received a mixed reaction from the fans and by 1993 he was sent to the USWA, who had a reciprocal relationship…
