Earl Hebner to the TNA Hall of Fame

Does this Hall of Fame really matter? It seems like every time we mention that the TNA wrestling promotion inducts a new member to their Hall of Fame, we openly have to ask just how much longer the promotion will last. With their current deal on Destination America coming to an end, we ask that question even louder as they announced that referee, Earl Hebner will be their latest inductee to their Hall. Hebner joined TNA in 2006 after he and his brother Dave were let go by the WWE following selling WWE merchandise without the organization’s permission. In TNA,…

Committee Chairman
On the heels of the Basketball Hall of Fame induction, one of the standouts of the Springfield based institution has been taken as Moses Malone was found dead in his hotel room in Norfolk, VA. He was 60 years old. Malone began his pro career right out of high school with the ABA’s Utah Stars and was immediately an All Star. He would join the Buffalo Braves following the ABA/NBA merger and would become a perennial All Star, namely with the Houston Rockets and Philadelphia 76ers, the latter he took to a Championship in 1983. The well decorated Center would…

We kind of knew this already as many of you have seen that we have ranked Allen Iverson at the top of our revised rankings for the Notinhalloffame.com Basketball list. During this past Basketball Hall of Fame weekend, the institution made his eligibility official, a fact that was not made clear to many.

Written by
Committee Chairman
While there can be a lot of valid criticism for the Basketball Hall of Fame and the way in which they induct candidates, there is still something special about having your name enshrined with the rest of the legends in Springfield, Massachusetts. Yesterday, the class of 2015 took their place in a red carpet ceremony at the Hall, and let’s takes a final look at this group of inductees. The headliner (in our eyes) is Dikembe Mutombo, one of the greatest defensive players in NBA history. The Congo born Mutombo won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year four times…

Will Ferrell enshrined in Cooperstown?

Committee Chairman
Is this an induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame? Not really…but it is noteworthy at least in our eyes. During this year’s spring training campaign, comedic actor Will Ferrell played ten positions for ten spring training teams in one day. While it was a stunt, it was an incredible one at that and one that resulted in a mock plaque from the Baseball Hall of Fame commemorating that accomplishment; though we should mention that on the plaque that there was an HBO logo and a date indicating when his special took place…that being when he where did that task.…
