Arguably one of the most underrated wrestlers that put on the trunks under the WWE umbrella, Tyson Kidd was the last graduate of the famous Hart Dungeon, and with his marriage to Nattie Neidhart, he is on the fringe of wrestling royalty. He would join the WWE in developmental in 2006, and along with his longtime friend, Harry Smith would be called up as the Hart Dynasty, and they would win the WWE Unified Tag Team Championship in 2010. After the team lost the belts and split up Kidd was in a bit of limbo, but in NXT he reinvented himself as a solo star and was a top contender for that championship, but more importantly, he reminded everyone how good a wrestler he was. Kidd got back on the main roster and was in a tag team with Cesaro and again won tag team gold, but his career was cut short when he was accidentally injured by Samoa Joe when taking a muscle buster causing a severe spinal cord injury, and his career was over after that. He would later be hired as a producer for the WWE.

Why they will get in: Kidd wrestled under the WWE umbrella for a decade, and he has the pedigree by association. His stint as a producer doesn't hurt too.
Why they won't get in: If the WWE Hall of Fame were to do a family aren’t there more prominent groups or families that could elect to go with instead?
