One of the harder sounding of the Hair Metal genre, Mark Slaughter and his eponymously named band, Slaughter, delivered two successful albums in 1990 and 1992 respectively. However, like so many of their ilk, they were dismissed shortly thereafter as jean jackets gave way to flannel. With all that said, should there ever be a Hair Metal Hall of Fame, Slaughter would be a decent candidate for it.

One of the last Hair Metal Bands to make it, Skid Row came out of the gates with as successful album and followed it up with some decent efforts with a harder edge. Their controversial lead singer, the always vocal, Sebastian Bach was the quintessential Metal front man, though he often garnered negative attention (most notably wearing an “Aids Kills Fags Dead” T-Shirt on stage) Still, this victim of the Grunge explosion seems to have had enjoyed a bit of additional respect as of late.

Clearly a fan of professional wrestling, William Shatner has appeared on WWE television a few times, the first of which saw him teach Jerry “The King” Lawler a lesson on RAW. Shatner would actually return to induct the King into the WWE Hall of Fame, and he was one of the better guest hosts in the RAW experiment of rotating celebrity hosts. We would take Shatner over Drew Carey for sure.

The first true “Supergroup” in wrestling, the Four Horsemen was the post powerful group of heel wrestlers in the 1980’s. Although they went through the various incarnations it was the collective of Flair, Blanchard, Anderson, Windham and Dillon that were selected to go into the Hall of Fame. Arguably, this was the best version of the group, but this selection excludes Ole Anderson and Lex Luger who were part of the first and second version of the Horsemen respectively. Subsequently, this allowed Ric Flair to receive his second induction which opens the door for multiple inductions for other wrestlers. This is an induction we love and are scared of the implications at the same time.
