The IWC constantly bitches and moans about how the WWE Hall of Fame is a mess. I have to agree, at times, it is pretty ridiculous. However, it's the biggest Hall of Fame in wrestling. Many inductees don't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame but many also do. With that being said, which five wrestlers deserve a Hall of Fame spot more than anyone else?

I'm going to start with Vincent Kennedy McMahon. There would be no Hall of Fame if there was no Vinnie Mac. He does some questionable things at times but imo, he is the greatest thing to ever hit the wrestling business.

Number two and as much as I hate to admit it, Hulk Hogan. The guy took the wrestling world by storm. He was the face of WWF for years. Wrestling fan or not, everyone has heard of Hulk Hogan

Number three was the top guy in the rival company, and that's Ric Flair. He did it all and has 16 major World Titles to prove that.

At number Four, I am saying Stone Cold Steve Austin. WWE needed someone to take over as the face of the company when Hogan left. It took him a while but eventually Austin was that man. Nobody has sold as much merchandise in history as the Rattlesnake.

The last man on this list is the Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels. He is a true in-ring general. HBK could have a five star match with Hornswoggle. He's that damn good.

1. Shawn Michaels- The man has done so much for the company, it's unbelievable. The man is amazing in the ring and always entertains me.

2. Hulk Hogan- This guy was a huge part of the WWE for the LONGEST time so he really deserves to be called a WWE Hall of Famer.

3. Ric Flair- Do I even have to have a reason? This guy was a huge part of the WWE and still is.

4. Edge- To me, the guy is one of the most deserving guys to be called a HoF so I'm putting him at #4.

5. Vince McMahon- This guy made the Hall of Fame but I prefer not to put him at #1 since he rarely wrestled.

It's the biggest HOF but if you ask most old school wrestlers they respect the Cauliflower Club's HOF much more and so do I for that matter.

1. Ric Flair- Greatest wrestler to ever live.
2. Hulk Hogan- Can't deny what he has done.
3. Mr. McMahon- He brought wrestling to unbelievable heights.
4. Steve Austin- Most popular superstar ever.
5. Triple H or The Rock since we are going with WWEs Hall of Fame.

Lets get something straight here the WWE hall of fame is not legit Vince puts the guys he likes and thats it and the fact that it has Pete Rose, Drew Carey and now Mike Tyson it downgraded its status.

Also forget about Chris Benoit going in despite what he did he shouldn't be in any Hall of fame due to what he did now that may be harsh but the guy murdered his wife and son.

Now the top 5 deserving guys who helped put WWE on the map are as followed.

1. Vince McMahon
2. Hulk Hogan
3. Stone Cold Steve Austin
4. Rock
5. John Cena


John Cena is at number 5 for a reason because nobody works as hard as he does for the company even guys from the past I don't ever worked as hard as he did.

If you are prioritising "WWE guys" over bona-fide legends, then I'd go with

- Hogan
- Andre
- Austin
- Rock
- Taker

Flair doesn't fit the bill considering all his major achievements were outside the company, same goes for guys like Sting. Triple H, Cena, Michaels, Savage and the like would be on the rung below as they didn't do anywhere near the level of work those 5 did to get wrestling where it is.

Sorry Dale but Goldberg top 5 top 100 but not top 5.
Top5 / Top 100 is irrelevant because he is still HOF worthy because of how huge he was in WCW.

He was the biggest star in the entire business for a brief period, so hes got a legit claim to HOF just as much as anyone else.

I don't even think he really is hall of fame worthy yes he was big in WCW but when he came to the WWE the only good match I remember him in was against the Rock which should've been at Wrestlemania.
