The WWE Hall Of Shame

Ok i know this has been beaten to death but I am going to throw my two cents in. Before i get into who I think should be in the WWE hall of fame let me list some of the people that are in: Johnny Rodz, Pete Rose, William Perry, Koko B Ware, Drew Carey, and Bob Uecker. If some one could please explain any of these inductions I would gladly listen to an intelligent argument for any or all of them. Now on to the meat of this blog, I am gonna list in no specific order the wrestlers i believe are a glaring omission to the hall.



"Macho Man" Randy Savage


The argument could start and end with this wrestler. From a time between the mid 80's to the late 90's Savage was continually a top card wrestler involved in some of the best angles in wrestling history. He was a multi time world champion in both the WWF And WCW. The only thing holding Savage back from being in the hall is some personal issue between him and Vince McMahon.



Bruno Sammartino


He had 2 WWWF championship reigns that combined equaled over 10 years. For a two decade period he was the man. He was the face of Vince McMahon Sr's WWWF and was a draw well after his prime. He has been reportedly offered a spot in the hall, but has turned it down for personal reasons.



Bob Backlund

A great technical wrestler who many have written off and ignored. He had a 5 year run as the WWWF/WWF world champion. Had a resurgence in the mid 90's with the Mr. Backlund character.


The Fabulous Freebirds

An influential tag team that was the top team in several organizations during their run. They invented what would be known as the "Freebird" rule where the members of the team could be interchanged keeping the opponents guessing as to who would be facing them.


Jake "The Snake" Roberts

The impact Roberts had on the wrestling industry is seriously hurt by his long time drug addiction destroying what was a great career. Roberts was the master of ring psychology, while never the biggest, strongest, or fastest wrestler Roberts was able to psych out opponents with his mannerisms and the giant python he would use.

Their are several others that could be included but in my opinion these are the most glaring omissions. What do you think? Who else should be a sure thing for the hall of fame?
