1973 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 give us 25 names as their semi-finalists and 5 in the Senior Pool. We then asked the group to vote for their 15 Finalists in the Modern Era and 3…
Hall of Fame season continues as on the eve of NBA All-Star Weekend, the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame has announced the Finalists for the 2025 Class. The Hall made waves when they recently altered (again) the requirements, moving the eligibility limits to two years from three years. This altered the landscape, as their were no surefire entrant for this year’s class. The Finalists are: 2008 United States Olympic Team (TEA).  Coached by Mike Krzyzewski (with Jim Boeheim, Nate McMillan, and Mike D’Antoni), the United States beat Spain in the finals.  The roster included Carlos Boozer, Jason Kidd, LeBron James,…
On today’s episode of Get Up on ESPN, the Undertaker and his wife and fellow former wrestler Michelle McCool were on hand to promote WWE’s new show, LFG.  WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque surprised the pair on satellite to inform McCool that she would be a member of the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2025. McCool participated in the 2004 Divas Search, and though she did not win, she was signed by the company.  After showing improvement, McCool became the inaugural Divas Champion, winning that in the 2008 Great American Bash, and a year later, won…
The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame has announced the preliminary candidates for the Class of 2025, but before we get to that, a major change took place that has put forth new names that would not have been previously considered. The Hall altered their eligibility wait time for the second time in ten years, as they have reduced the wait time for induction from three years to two.  Previously, they changed it from six to five years to three to two.    Notably, going into 2025, no marquee names were eligible for induction.  This allows Carmelo Anthony and Sue Bird…
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fane has announced the Finalists for the 2025 Class, and as always they did do in random fashion, with an announcement the day before that always changes. The nominees are: Bad Company.  Eligible since 2000, never nominated.  Ranked #23 on Notinhalloffame.com.  This is a long time coming for Paul Rodgers, whose band has huge support for the Rock Hall. The Black Crowes.  Eligible since 2016, never nominated.  Ranked #240 on Notinhalloffame.com.  The Black Crowes netted their first nomination and were outliers in their time. Chubby Checker.  Eligible since 1986, never nominated.  Ranked #280 on…
1973 SEMI-FINAL RESULTS: Thank you for all of your participation in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. 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 1972. For “1973,” a Preliminary Vote with nearly 100 players whose playing career ended by 1967. We are also following the structure in that 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…
Hall of Fame season is not just here for Baseball, Basketball and Football, as “Wrestlemania Season” also equates to WWE Hall of Fame season.   Before the Royal Rumble, Paul “Triple H” Levesque was surprised at a town hall by Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker and Nick Khan with an announcement that he was going into the WWE Hall of Fame. Levesque, who is currently the Chief Content Officer for WWE, had an outstanding in-ring career, winning 14 World Titles, and headlining multiple Premium Live Events.  He was already inducted as a member of D-Generation X, with Shawn Michaels, Billy Gunn,…

Can we say again, how much we love “Hall of Fame Season.” Two weeks after the Baseball Hall of Fame announced the Class of 2025, the Pro Football Hall of Fame has announced their class, but it was not without controversy. This was the first year under the new system, whereby the 15 Modern Finalists was cut to 10, and then to 7.  From there , the Committee cast their ballots for five of the seven, with a candidate needing 80 percent of the vote to enter.  As we suspected, and even warned about, a scenario could emerge where you…
