Andre the Giant

Andre the Giant was the man for whom the WWE Hall of Fame was created for and its first inductee.  Standing well over seven feet tall, Andre was actually quite agile in his youth and throughout his career was a featured attraction regardless of where he performed.  Loyal to Vince, Andre headlined Wrestlemania 3 putting over Hulk Hogan in what could very well have been the most anticipated match in wrestling history.  It is hard pressed to find anyone who is more worthy of being the first inductee to the WWE Hall of Fame.

81. Gary Roberts

910 career points is nothing to sneeze at, but it is not the first thing that people think about with Gary Roberts.  He was the type of player that every General Manager wanted to have, and every player wanted as a teammate.   He made everyone on his team just want to play better.

93. Trevor Linden

It did not take long for the number two choice of the 1988 NHL Entry Draft to establish himself as a force on the Vancouver Canucks.  Trevor Linden would be named the Canucks captain at the age of 21, and his nickname of “Captain Canuck” could be one of the most appropriate monikers in Hockey.

Pat Burns

One of the biggest travesties in our eyes is that Pat Burns did not get into the Hockey Hall of Fame while he was alive. As Burns was dying of cancer, a large grass roots movement was afoot to get him inducted but alas the former Coach of the Year had to be elected posthumously. Burns always made his teams better, was beloved by fanbases and fittingly finally won a Stanley Cup in 2003 with the New Jersey Devils.
