WWE announced at tonight's SmackDown tapings in Little Rock that Carlos Colon will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year in New Orleans.
Colon last wrestled for WWE in 1993 at the Royal Rumble. He also appeared on a 2006 RAW to cheer on his son Carlito. Colon is also the father to Primo Colon (Diego of Los Matadores) and uncle to Orlando Colon (Fernando).

did he ever ashley wrestler for wwe other then rumble match in 1993?
He had a short run in 1993 but otherwise no. But a lot of people in the hall of fame have never worked more than one match for the WWF. It's a hall of fame for people that Vince like and respect.

Antonio Inoki for example is in the hall of fame. One of the biggest names in Japanese wrestling ever, certified legend and icon but he has only worked one match for WWF which was in Japan. And Vince respects him enough to put him in the HOF.

He won the belt off of Backlund. Lost a rematch but the GM of New Japan at the time declared the match a no contest since there was interference, making Inoki the winner. But Inoki threw down the belt since he said "it was a trash belt". So they had Backlund win it later against some guy named Bobby Duncum. As Inoki refused the title his reign is not included nor is it recognized by WWE in its official history and Backlund is recognized as having one reign from 1978–1983.

Inoki is a beast still, its amazing how being slapped by him is a sign of courage for anyone well bar Brock.

Least interesting 2014 HOF inductee yet.

Are they supposed to be interesting? Maybe it's because I'm young but I don't see what is at all interesting about the HOF or why people care.

I'm just pointing out that he's the first guy for this year's class thus far that I never cared about in any way, shape or form. I mean, I usually don't even watch the HOF live, but I'll usually still check out the speeches of the people I like on Youtube (or wherever) eventually. Lita, Paul Bearer, Ultimate Warrior and Jake Roberts are all people I might be interested in hearing or seeing again. Not this guy.
