The San Francisco territory was a vibrant territory and it was under the guidance of Roy Shire, who built the Cow Palace into a West Coast Mecca for Professional Wrestling.  While Shire was a major figure in growing the business in Northern California, he did not get inducted during the Wrestlemania festivities in the Bay Area, a clear indication that his HOF chances are nil.

Hisahi Shinma, the figurehead President of the WWE before Jack Tunney was “elected” to that post, but he is on this list for the way he brokered talent from New Japan to the WWE during the late 70’s and early 80’s.  That brokerage helped get Tatsumi Fujinami inducted this year.

Tony Marino had a decent run in the WWWF and in the NWA.  His WWWF performances saw him win the WWWF International Tag Team Title twice, one with Bruno Sammartino, who would bring him into the Pittsburgh territory where he would compete as Battman, and yes we mean that Batman; completely decked out as the Caped Crusader.

Suffering from alopecia preventing him from growing hair, the bald head and menacing look of Skull Murphy made the Canadian a natural for the world of professional wrestling.  Murphy would wrestle all over the world, including a successful run in the WWWF, where was a tag team champion and would hold tag team titles in multiple promotions with various partners.
