The WWE Hall of Fame has some legendary and unforgettable superstars as inductees; Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, D-Generation X, the nWo, The Undertaker, Edge, The Four Horsemen, Dusty Rhodes... the list goes on. Superstars of the past get to go on stage and talk about their accomplishments in the ring and although some fans don't see the value in a Hall of Fame induction, others enjoy hearing from their childhood heroes.
A lot of superstars of the past have not been given Hall of Fame inductions for various reasons. This video looks at superstars who really should be given an induction (even though many superstars in this video are guarenteed never to get the honor).

Another honorable mention for the HOF is Dean Malenko. He was an 11-time champion during his runs in ECW, WWE, and WCW. His father, Boris, was a legendary trainer who trained WWE HOF members like Kane and X-pac. It would be nice to see Dean and his dad get some recognition for their contributions to the industry.

Article - Due to his long tenure with company many have expected Johnston to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. However, once again things aren’t quite that simple. Elsewhere in the interview, Johnston said that the time for an induction has probably passed, and that he’d be uncomfortable if he were to be asked to be inducted.

I’m 18 minutes in, and while I agree with the majority of the list so far, Jim Johnston 100% deserves to go into the Hall. There would be no “WWF/E The Music” CDs back in the day if it wasn’t for him. He legit added an element that NO ONE had before him, or since can touch. If The Bellas can get in bc of their reality shows added to the product outside of what goes on in the ring, then Jim definitely deserves it as well.

[@WarhawkBeyond2040]

Everyone on this list definitely needs to be inducted into the hall of fame especially Jim Johnston, if it wasn't for him, wrestlers wouldn't be the larger than life characters that we know them for without his contributions, his musical compositions helped bring them to life and forged identities. I'd love to see Victoria be inducted as she was a big part of the ruthless aggression era and helped get the women's division over with her hardcore match against Trish Stratus, while I'm talking about women's division, Chyna needs to go in as a solo act as she changed the game for women's wrestling.

[@wrestlingisfantastic4148]

I’d love for Jim to be inducted but the one thing that kinda prevents him from going in and having a speech is stage fright hopefully tho someday we do get a speech from him because he deserves it

[@TheyCallMeSledge]

Jim Johnston should've already been in the HOF. That guy's contribution to wrestling music is like that of Nobuo Uematsu to Video Game scores and Hans Zimmer & Danny Elfman to Theatrical scores on the big screen. This is why most wrestling fans don't take the WWE HOF seriously anymore because there are people that aren't there who are long overdue to be inducted and people in the Hall that have us asking "Why do they belong there?"

An additional note on Rick Martel, he actually goes back to the years with Bob Backlund as champ since he was a tag team champion with Tony Garea, he also had a run as AWA World Champion months after Hogan left so there's a lot to cover and they should have all the footage.

[@Thor-Orion]

Martel is a sure fire hall of famer, it's crazy to me that he's not already in there.

[@jmendoza2003]

Plus, his last appearance in WWE was in 2007 WWE PPV Vengeance Night of Champions. He was a guest sitting in the Crowd. I figure he will get in since he has always been on good terms with WWE. I'm sure one day he will go in if WWE keeps trying to reach him if they had been trying

[@kenrickeason]

Martel should have been in years ago..

[@paulweston8408]

Martel's best work definitely imo came as AWA World Champion when that belt was easily the 2nd biggest title in Wrestling! The WWF/E back then was basically a joke that had some of the most unwatchable stuff ever. Most big shows ended in a curfew draw because of I guess the large cities??? If Hogan hadn't been a POS he's proven to be over and over we may be living in a totally different wrestling world were you could still go see live big name wrestling locally every week! I've always said if today's world and the world of 1980 could have a baby it would be so great! All the territories still in tact as a feeding system to a major promotion having huge shows just like today but Quarterly like with the big 4. One World Champion making the rounds bringing each area's top stars to almost his level or sometimes even higher to get the shot for all to see. We could watch ever territories show on the internet with the best stars rotating on the national show. Imagine if back in 1985 we got The Freebirds against The British Bulldogs as the opening bout to Kerry Von Erich vs Dusty Rhodes in a #1 contender match then Randy Savage vs Magnum TA followed by Ric Flair and Paul Orndorff vs Hulk Hogan and Rick Martel? Then the next week they all go back to they local territory and we get a all new group of stars to go at it. Sounds like a good world to me

[@willisapril]

Martel's best run was when he was in Strike Force and then became the Model.

[@newavengerxx4428]

Personally, I'd love to see William Regal, Victoria and Big Show get the Hall of Fame nod. I know that both Regal and Show are working in AEW now but still, I think they're both long overdue for an induction. As for Victoria, I consider her one of my favorite woman's wrestlers during the Ruthless Aggression Era. Sid, Rick Martel, Micke James, Demolition and Paul Hayman all deserve to go into the Hall. This is kind of an idea out of left field, but I'd like to see Steve Blackman get inducted due to his contributions to the then-WWF's Hardcore Division. Ken Shamrock certainly deserves the nod as well. As far a celebrity inductees, I want Chuck Norris to get inducted. Finally in an alternate world, Chris Benoit would definitely be in the Hall of Fame but in the real world, but I know that'll never happen nor should it ever happen.

[@quentinkaasa47]

There is a tiny possibility Benoit could get inducted with the Radicalz as a group. It likely won't ever happen, but that's the only way I see Malenko, Saturn or Benoit ever being inducted. Chris of course wouldn't be spotlighted or have to be acknowledged during the ceremony. If they did that then they would also have to induct Nancy (and probably Daniel) the same night, and make it about them, not Chris.

Sid has the distinction of being the first wrestler to ever win the WWF championship on a Raw episode. There had been dozens of championship matches on Raw prior to this (my favorite being Bret Hart vs the 1-2-3 Kid) but the champion would always win, so Sid beating Bret Hart and winning the championship really shook things up and showed that champions are no longer invincible in TV title matches.

I can definitely see Pillman and Miss Elizabeth being inducted eventually. Heyman is a cert as well. Cornette is on my wishlist, I'd definitely stay up to watch that speech.

[@jmendoza2003]

I'm sure Cornette will go in eventually. He has always been outspoken how WWE now and plus he said he thinks he will never go in the Hall of Fame. But I believe he will because he was one of the great managers ever in Wrestling history

This is awesome you always have such an indepth look into the subject matter. You are hands down tied with Norman Caruso for the best on the site for narrative in a video. Thanks this is awesome and bringing up Jim Johnston. Some are gold your platinum. Thank you for being so professional and thorough for these past few years.

[@andrewmelville4570]

Jim Cornette for Hall of Fame would be interesting

[@Makoto03]

I still can't believe Miss Elizabeth isn't in hall of fame. I think they should separate what happened to her with her contribution in the world of wrestling. Shes too iconic to be ignored.

[@filmbuff2777]

Apparently her family don't want her name associated with scummy wrestling companies anymore.

Earthquake definitely deserves a spot in the hall of fame. He was a great heel and his battles with Hogan was great

[@marvinleong5902]

Yeah, Typhoon should be in too. He's like 65, let him get the honor with Earthquake before he passed

[@calvinfolan1736]

I agree with most of these but Paul Heyman especially, the man's a legend, although he undoubtedly had his faults when running ECW. From a creative standpoint, the man is a genius.

[@chrisbucci5769]

Just started the video. Love your work. I’m curious to see if you mention, in my mind one of the most criminal oversights in the Hall which is the absence of Cyndi Lauper. I was alive at the time and trust me her and Wendy Richter sold Mania 1 as much as Hogan and T did. They were over like rover. No matter how the WWE tells history.

[@HawkHogan_]

It's esp baffling since Mr.T is in the HOF, but not Cyndi Lauper. Andy Kaufman is also someone who's more than worthy of a HOF induction

[@chrisbucci5769]

The only thing I can think of is she’s been offered and declined. If she hasn’t been offered it’s a huge mistake.

[@alexandertroy9621]

Absolutely. It's very confusing as to why she has never been inducted.

[@JustGettinStarted]

You’re not kidding! Cyndi Lauper, Hulk Hogan, Wendy Richter, Mr. T, and Captain Lou Albano absolutely “kicked the door in” with the ‘Rock and Wrestling’ deal between WWF/MTV!

WWE HOF 2023(WHO SHOULD BE INDUCTED): Head Inductee: The Rock! Tag-Team: The Midnight Express! Face: Sycho Sid! Heel: “The Model” Rick Martel! Faction: The Heenan Family! Diva: Miss Elizabeth! Manager: Clarence Mason! Legend: The Great Muta! Celebrity: Lawrence Taylor!

[@tylercook9428]

I think Victoria should really be on this list, she honestly really changed Womens wrestling forever with how willing and daring she was. She also really opened a brand new door for darker female characters and that door still stays up to this day. Also not to mention she was an amazing wrestler when it came to the ring and was way ahead of her time tbh because she was probably the only one of her time that was pretty much there to be more than a bikini model

Raven deserves WAAAAY more recognition than he gets

[@jeffjackson9679]

Raven was great in ECW, but WCW didn't use him right, and WWE REALLY didn't use him right.

[@louisvelez40]

I know with Pillman, Owen and Benoit more than deserve to be in the Hall of Fame but circumstances will keep them out. Martel was one of my absolute favorite characters and workers, for sure deserves his spot. Cyndi was instrumental for the future of Wrestlemania and Sid I would love see in. One name that I feel should get in is Davey’s tag team partner The Dynamite Kid if he is not in. I would also like for Chyna to have her own solo hall of fame spot. William Regal is another name that deserves his spot in the Hall. With the Bellas getting in I feel then Sable should get in then with her impact for the WWE in her short time. There is a certain bias and politics when it comes to the Hall of Fame. Everyone on that list in the video are worthy.

[@JOBdOut]

You're 100% correct on Martel, both with his quality of work, and his unfortunate parting from the business. He's closed the door and isn't receptive to a lot of attempts from people to talk to him about it. It's a shame. He and Dino Bravo also had a hell of a history pre-WWE. Not unlike Phil Lafon, it's heartbreaking to think that he doesn't know how appreciated he actually is.

[@martynodonnell8467]

Another awesome upload from the greatest wrestling channel on the planet. There are many wrestlers who still deserve to be inducted into the Hall Of Fame. I would personally prefer it if they waited until a wrestler had been retired for a number of years, before being inducted and being inducted meant that they stayed retired. Someone else who deserves an induction is yourself Mr Wrestling Bios. For your contributions to wrestling and re sparking many a fans interest in the product and allowing fans new and old to relive the Monday Night wars though your wrestling bios series. Let’s face it there’s far less deserving inductees already in the hall of fame. Why not have yourself in? We should start a petition!
