Chyna? She probably will get into the next Hall Of Fame though. I mean, I would put The Rock on that list. He was inactive for so many years in the WWE, and I do wonder why he wasn't inducted in the time of 2005 - 2011, but he will headline the Hall Of Fame in the future.

These are the people I can think of

1. Christian
2. Owen Hart
3. Sid
4. Rick Rude
5. Kurt Angle

I'll roll back to some older wrestlers, since almost all the modern era ones have been said, that I've watched and read about for some time that clearly deserve a place in the Hall of Fame, even if it's hardly prestigious.

Bruiser Brody - He was a true mad man. He wrestled all over the world, and put on some of the best matches I've seen, from that era. He still has a profound impact on wrestler, Luke Harper even wrestled with a Brody-like gimmick, and even used his name while on the independents. He was one of the best brawlers in wrestling history and his matches with the Funks, and Hansen were legendary.

Toots Mondt - The most important name, I'd presume, in wrestling. Not sure how he hasn't made it into the WWE Hall of Fame since he can be considered one of the founders of "Sports Entertainment" and was a founder of the WWWF.

Ivan Koloff - Probably the most impactful evil foreigner the WWE ever had. He broke the longest reign in WWE Championship history. He caused near riots, and was a menace, just by his looks. But I don't think we'll ever see him in the Hall of Fame, after he joined that concussion Law Suit.

I mean, I would put The Rock on that list. He was inactive for so many years in the WWE, and I do wonder why he wasn't inducted in the time of 2005 - 2011, but he will headline the Hall Of Fame in the future.
He obviously intended to return to wrestling, and didn't want to go into the Hall of Fame without being fully retired.

Since WWE has a history of inducting a number of foreign wrestlers who had very little to do with WWE, but a lot to do with the industry.

I'd add Giant Baba, to that list. And I'm a firm supporter that El Santo should go in, soon.

Tenryu over Baba. Tenryu has worked a mania. Not to mention he is alive and can actually show up.

Baba is a good shoutout tho. AJPW and WWE had a working relation for a while so the argument can be made he had a impact on the company. Former NWA world champ as well.

Good. His actions have made his talent irrelevant.

People can use the excuses they want about his health but from listening to Talk is Jericho with Sandra (Nancy Benoit's sister) what he did was not one moment of madness. He deserves to never have his name mentioned again in WWE or anywhere else for that matter.

I agree, I was just trolling.

First foreign born NWA champ, too.

Kurt Angle is the one that stands out for me. But like mentioned before it's probably because he's still active in the indies (even though he probably shouldn't be)

and one person I would say deserves an induction as soon as he retires is probably The Undertaker.

Triple H does deserve one, say whatever you want about the guy but he's done lots for the company. But I'm not sure if he'll get one because it will look like giving yourself an award.
