1984 Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project Class. Here we are!  Again!! If you have been following our Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project, you know we have asked the rhetorical question: What if the PFHOF began in January 1946? After soliciting and obtaining a passionate group of football fans and historians, we sent out a ballot for a Preliminary Vote, in which we asked each voter to select 25 names as their semi-finalists and 5 names for the Senior Pool. We then asked the group to vote for their 15 Finalists in the Modern Era and 3…

Days after the WWE announced that Stephanie McMahon was the first inductee for their Class of 2026, their subsidiary, TNA, announced that former TNA Knockouts Champion, Mickie James, would be inducted into their Hall of Fame.  James will be inducted on October 12, when TNA will have its Bound for Glory Event, which will take place in Lowell, Massachusetts.  A five-time Knockouts Champion, James won multiple titles in the WWE and is still an active competitor in the independent scene. We here at notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Mickey James for her impending honor.

If you are unaware of what that is, we acted like the PFHOF had its first class in January 1946. We have completed the years up to 1983. For “1984,” a Preliminary Vote with nearly 100 players whose playing career ended by 1978. We are also following the structure, where players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool. Each voter was asked to select 25 names from the…
