WWE
Compared to the other Halls of Fame that we discuss on our website, this one is hands down the most fun and the hardest to calculate. Keep in mind, that there is no actual WWE Hall of Fame where fans can go and see their heroes. There are no set criteria to get in the WWE Hall of Fame. Wins and losses don’t exactly matter when the matches are predetermined. It does not even seem to matter if you even wrestled for the WWE as some of their inductees never drew a paycheck from Stamford. This is as subjective as they come so with that we made a criterion of our own which did incorporate (in no particular order) impact, ability, innovation championships won, legacy and their use in the WWE. The only two rules we set was that the wrestler in question was not currently an active competitor on a full-time basis unless that wrestler was 46 or over. Once a wrestler becomes 46 that individual moves from the Futures to the Main List at the time of revision.Until Then, Whatcha gonna do when Notinhalloffame.com runs wild on you!
Sincerely,
The Not in Hall of Committee.

As Bernard Herman, Ricki Starr was a solid amateur wrestler, but as Ricki Starr, he would take a pair of ballet slippers to incorporate a perceived feminine strut and would sell some tickets in the United States. Starr would do well in Texas and the East Coast and would become a flamboyant babyface and an improbable one at that. He…

In Japan, Ohtani won the coveted J-Crown and with the relationship with WCW, he was the first ever Cruiserweight Champion. Growing frustrated with the lack of…
Trained by Gran Hamada, Jinsei Shinzaki debuted in the early 90s and his natural intense look and high-flying moveset quickly made him a coveted addition to any roster. Taking on the persona of Hakushi, Shinzaki entered the WWF in 1995 with fake full body tattoos and an all-white monk-like outfit and feuded with Bret Hart. A face turn quickly saw him…
