We told you that this would be a task that we would eventually get to. Regular visitors to Notinhalloffame.com might know that we have told you in past updates that we will be looking at the top fifty players in each major North American Franchise. For those unsure who exactly what the major North American Franchises are, it refers to the National Hockey League, National Football League, National Basketball Association and Major League Baseball. Selected first are the Charlotte Hornets. Why? Honestly, there is no reason. One of the 100 plus franchises has to go first, and the Hornets were…
RIP: Dickie Moore

Written by
Committee Chairman
It is another sad day in the world of hockey as Dickie Moore, the legendary Hall of Famer and Montreal Canadians legend passed away today at the age of 84. Moore would win six Stanley Cups as a member of the Canadians, playing alongside Maurice “Rocket” Richard and Jean Beliveau. Moore was not just a participant, but a legitimate star in his own right, leading the National Hockey League in scoring twice and was an integral part of all of his six Stanley Cup rings. Moore could not only score as he was known for his defensive skills and aggressive…
Ian Paice talks about Deep Purple's RRHOF induction
Dec 19, 2015
Written by
Committee Chairman
When we set up our inaugural Notinhalloffame.com Rock and Roll list, the con that we stated against inducting Deep Purple was the immense amount of members that they had in the band and who they would induct. As it turns out, members of Deep Purple had the same concerns. With the announcement that Deep Purple would be inducted, drummer, Ian Paice had this to say about those who would be chosen for the Rock Hall, and those who were not: "It'll be interesting, won't it? It's a somewhat complicated situation. The personalities that are involved didn't always get on terrifically…
The Basketball HOF List has been revised. Shaq now #1, Yao at #3

Committee Chairman
It appears that the change is official and the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame has reduced the time required to enter the institution after retirement from five years to four. As such, we here at Notinhalloffame.com looked at those who were eligible in 2017, and found that there were five former players who are worthy of our top 100 and changes were made right from the top. Allen Iverson was at number one, but the former Point Guard lost that spot to the multi time NBA Champion, and one of the most dominating big men of all-time, Shaquille O’Neal. It…

Committee Chairman
While we here at Notinhalloffame.com have always been consumed with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the news that stemmed with the newest class, another fairly significant Hall of Fame has announced their latest class. The International Ice Hockey Federation Hall of Fame has announced the six new members of their Hall, all due for induction in 2016. The biggest name for most hockey fans is Sergei Fedorov, the flashy player from Russia. Fedorov won the Stanley Cup three times with the Detroit Red Wings and was a former Hart Trophy winner and internationally he represented the Soviet…

Committee Chairman
For us at Notinhalloffame.com, Christmas always comes early. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has announced the new inductees and there are many people who are rejoicing and just as many who are disgusted. Deep Purple, who held the top stop on our list and have been in the top five since our website’s inception has made it on its third try. Numerous band members have been vocal about their distaste for the Hall, however many Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees have been very open about their desire to see the British rockers in. This will necessitate…

Pete Rose: still banned and still ineligible
Dec 14, 2015
Written by
Committee Chairman
That will teach us for getting our hopes up. Didn’t it look for a while that Pete Rose had a shot of being welcomed back into the Baseball? Even though other evidence came into existence how he gambled as a player (he had only thus far admitted to gambling as a Manager), Rose had a gig working as a broadcaster during the Major League Baseball Playoffs for Fox Sports and with a new commissioner, Rob Manfred, who had no ties to Rose’s past, it was thought that the window was opening for the ban on Rose to be lifted. The…
Basketball HOF likely to reduce eligibility wait
Dec 14, 2015
Written by
Committee Chairman
This could be huge. NBA.com is reporting that the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame is looking to reduce the years of eligibility following retirement from five years to four years, the main reason being that this will allow five calendar years to take place after a player retires to officially enter the Hall. Should this move take place, heavyweight (literally) candidate Shaquille O’Neal will be able to enter the Hall a year earlier as he is currently eligible for the Hall in 2017. This would also include Yao Ming, which could make next year’s class one for the ages as…

There have been two new updates regarding the WWE Hall of Fame, one regarding a potential future entry and the other on a Celebrity Wing inductee who has a movement against him to remove him. On Ric Flair’s podcast, Sting discussed the WWE Hall of Fame and whether he would he would be going in soon, possibly as soon as 2016 in Texas. While he did not say anything about when, or even if it was discussed with him, he did reveal that Ric Flair would be the one to induct him should that occur. It’s hard to imagine anyone…
