James Dudley

The first African American to manage a sports arena (Turner’s Arena in Washington D.C.), James Dudley served as an on screen manager of Bobo Brazil.  He was also a long time executive and close associate of Vince McMahon Sr.   Many have called this induction as one of the more bizarre entries to the Hall, as it has often been criticized that he is only in due to his relationship with the McMahons and not necessarily for his overall contributions to wrestling.  We have to admit, this isn’t our favorite induction either.
