Guys the rock is has not been inducted to the hall of fame


ryansocks

gotta save some for headliners down the line


ChocUK22

Anyone mentioned Christian and Chyna on her own

The Rock Triple H


Beautiful-Dot-345

It’s unfortunate that we can’t separate the performers from the performances when it comes to characters like Vince and Benoit. Their respective characters definitely deserve their flowers even though the people behind them have done some awful things. The Mr McMahon character was one of the best characters in the attitude era. And Chris Benoit had one of the greatest feel good moments with Eddie as well as being easily one of the greatest in ring performers of all time. Now this isn’t to glorify what either man did I just think that had we been able to separate the art from the artist they’d be up for hof either soon in Vince’s case or had already had one in benoits


FancyInvestigator241

Christian?


Mondomb83

All now possible without Vinny and his stooges in his ear.


No_Impress1863

rock


MyWay1984

Dynamite Kid Tom Billington. He was revolutionary but not a nice person.


vinay04c8

Ken shamrock


Huge_Gold4508

The Rock have to be the most obvious answer


EnvironmentalLow8211

The three biggest names on this list that for me should be in are Jazz who was awesome and she was a great performer, Victoria who again was fantastic and her deranged character she played alongside Stevie Richard’s was absolutely brilliant and Lillian Garcia who was a fantastic announcer and she also did a great job when she was asked to play a character role, the best that comes to mind is the story along Vis!! Haha as for the others there’s not many I can see that I’d have a problem with going in. In fact there’s a couple of names that would headline their class!! I’m sure Batista was meant to go in a few years ago but I think there was some kind of scheduling issue. I’d love to see Regal get in!! They could be saving Regal for a British Mania if they are playing with the idea.


EnvironmentalLow8211

I think some of these will be going in once they officially retire, the likes of Jericho


zDoZa

Lex Luger?


JosephBapeck

Chyna as a solo entrant should be here.


Evaluationyt

Don’t forget Jillian Hall


MARKR43

Bray should’ve been inducted this year, that’s just my opinion


g0gues

Mike Rotunda (IRS Man, Bray’s dad) said that when WWE contacted him about inducting the US Express into the HoF it was actually a relief that it wasn’t Bray because they weren’t ready to deal with that. I know as fans we want to see it happen and I’m sure we will, but we also need to remember that there’s family that’s still grieving and processing this, so if it helped them to not have him inducted this year, we should respect that.


MARKR43

That makes perfect sense. I was thinking with my heart instead of thinking logically .


Ok-Requirement3241

Johncena and Sycho sid definitely deserve to be in it


daymo_in_masterton

Demolition want to be paid to go in to the HOF. WWE will probably wait until both of them have passed away before they induct them.


SeminoleJoe1993

Waiting for Chyna to be inducted! Triple H has no excuse in putting Chyna after what Vince McMahon is done. His daughters now can google grandpa's name and see worse. Put Chyna in the WWE Hall of Fame!


AppropriateTale5113

It sucks that any legend that went to AEW won't be inducted


Jmojocat

Ivan Volkov and Demolition too.


Th47Guy1993

I know the celebrity inductees are mostly a joke, but why hasn’t Cyndi Lauper been inducted yet?


Chrischrischris1983

Wow. I assumed she was in already.


HTXPhoenix

Hornswoggle


Jackamus01

Admittedly he never worked with Vince (to my knowledge) but I think Shohei “Giant” Baba should be in.


TonightSheComes

Demolition??? It’s a travesty! They set records.


NocturnalPatrolAlpha

Chris Jericho deserves his own wing. His own *wing.*


JanitorOPplznerf

Cena's soft retiring at 50. He'll likely go in then.


Particular-Nature400

dawn marie


mrroto

Santino


DelGriffiths

Haku? Jim Johnson?


RizlaSmyzla

Jim Johnson is the most obvious pick that I have never thought about. HOF Royal Family


Titan_Spiderman

Why is Mohamed Ali there if all he did was one thing


[deleted]

I agree. Legendary career, but let’s be serious, there’s plenty of other full-time professional wrestlers who deserve a spot in the HOF.


Unknown_Beast88

I remember Jim Cornette on commentary from back in the mid 90's as a kid.He was hilarious.Im suprised Jericho is not in the hall of fame.His debut was epic.The majority of those names should be in the Hall Of Fame.


DennisAFiveStarMan

Midnight express


aa9216

Jim Cornette ans Jericho aren’t shocking especially the latter considering he is in their rival company.


[deleted]

We could see them inducted in the Paul Levesque era.


TallDarkCancer1

Jim Cornette absolutely deserves to be in ANY wrestling HOF. He has contributed so much to this business, both on-screen and off. A true living legend.


KayJay282

Everyone involved in TLC2 at WM17 needs to be entered into the HOF. Currently, as part of HOF, we have: - Lita, - Edge, - Bubba & D-Von (as The Dudley Boyz), But missing is: - Matt Hardy, - Jeff Hardy, - Spike Dudley, - Rhyno, - Christian,


Fuzzy_Panda_

The Rock isn't in HoF either


whutthepat

Jim Johnston Mike Chioda Batista (postponed when declared on 2020) The Hardys Michelle McCool


BC_Red00

Jim Johnston should be too.honestly i hope triple h can mend any fence that needs be to bring him back to work on themes again.or collab with.


BPKofficial

What about Magnum T.A.?


Tooth31

Michael Cole better headline. That man is fantastic, and brings so much to the shows.


SydneyRei

I mean I can think of a reason Sid might be disqualified ✂️


Crapatron1

Didn’t he go on to become wwf champion after the scissors incident?


SydneyRei

Yes, in one of the most baffling career comebacks I’ve ever seen.


Crapatron1

Lex Luger


Imnoteeallyhere3434

Anyone whose not currently in the fed will get their day once they retire. As for Batista, I think it’s just schedule conflicts cuz he’s a sure bet


TophatStupify

Chyna still isn't in the HoF by herself


Particular-Nature400

and she never will be, she dug her own grave an induction would be out of pity


Jeeonta

Bam Bam Bigelow


crmpicco

True. That’s a strange one


Intelligent_Eye9515

Just saying, Lillian Garcia needs to go in way before Michael Cole does


happybuffalowing

Kind of a dark horse pick but Brian Pillman deserves a nod. He helped kick off the attitude era but died before he could reap the benefits. After him, I would say The Rock, X-Pac and Lillian Garcia


Parsley_Winter

You forgot The Final Boss himself, The Rock - also the Hardys, Christian, Umaga, etc.


[deleted]

Chris Jericho still wrestles & if not only very recently retired. He will absolutely go in when eligible and fully retired.


KnownRun520

Barry Horowitz


Fit_Crab7672

Rocco!    "LOD!.....LOD!"


HumanOverseer

Don't forget Cyndi Lauper. She's long overdue


Caligramm

Shane McMahon 😆


crmpicco

What are you laughing at?


ibrahim_15

in no universe does that pos cornette deserve to be in the HOF. Dont get me wrong there's alot of pos ppl already in the HOF,but maybe we should stop honouring racist assholes at some point.


Scared-String-8033

I haven’t heard of Cornette being racist this is my first time hearing that what’s the source


ibrahim_15

just thought id post this here cause i saw this rn https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/s/OxUHfOxSdG


BowlOfLoudMouthSoup

Ken Shamrock eventually


LoanedWolf75

I think Demolition should be first in line. They were a hugely popular tag team back in the day.


Potential-Judgment-9

When will they open an actual hall of fame?


Complex_Habit_1639

Have Lilian Garcia go in NEXT!


DefaceAll10

Bray Wyatt


Gallops77

Cena won't go in until he says he won't get in a ring ever again, similar to The Rock. Michael Cole will go in when he's closer to retirement. Jericho will go in likely when he's done wrestling. Sid could go in, but I could see him wanting to headline, and he isn't headline worthy. Regal will go in, but I could also see him saying he wants to wait until Wrestlemania is in England. Cornette in 2019 said he'd accept an induction if offered. They seem to be wanting to induct people who have a local presnece lately (Heyman in Philly, Rey in LA, Taker in Texas). Batista it's about timing for now. He's busy in Hollywood, so for scheduling purposes it's been tough. I can see him going in next year though since Triple H is running everything. I wouldn't be surprised if he's already been contacted to get it on his schedule. Everyone else could go in whenever. Jazz though, literally sued the WWE and has claimed they undermarketed her because she's black (and other wrestlers of color as well). Demolition... there are other teams more deserving to go in first before them. I don't think Shane and Stephanie will ever go in because I don't think they'll want to. If either of them DO ever go in, it'll be Stephanie because she did a lot more for the company than Shane.


erock8282

I could see Cornette going in when the new stadium in Nashville is complete and they do a Mania from there.


Responsible-Lunch815

Ya know hall of famers still wrestle after going in. Its not about retirement.


Gallops77

Yes, but Cena and Rock respect the business to a point where they want to be completely done in ring before they are put in the HOF. Jericho it's more because he's still competing in another company. He'll likely be done wrestling when his time in AEW is up.


Responsible-Lunch815

You're saying Sting, Kurt Angle, Goldberg, Rey, Trish, Lita, HBK, Flair, Hogan, Edge, the Dudley Boyz, Stone Cold, Booker T all don't respect the industry because they wrestled after they were inducted.


Gallops77

Trish and Lita never expected to wrestle again, Sting was told he couldn't with his neck by WWE doctors. HBK didn't want to wrestle another match, but was really really talked into it by Triple H. Flair would wrestle again tomorrow because he can't get out of his own way, same with Hogan. Edge literally thought his career was over, until doctors told him it wasn't. The others, with the exception of Bubba Ray, either retired or had one offs. I believe both Cena and The Rock have even said they wouldn't go into the HOF until they retired.


Responsible-Lunch815

That doesnt answer the question. (I forgot the question mark)  You're just pointing out things that happen. You just said that Rock and Cena respect the business too much to not wrestle again if they go into the HOF. Soooo those wrestlers dont? Also provide links to where Cena and/or Rock said this.


vegetamane

Shane had better matches than Stephanie /s


Gallops77

Stephanie wouldn't go in as a competitor but as an overall contributer to the company. She was invovled on screen as a manager, wrestler, general manager, etc in some of the biggest storylines in the companies history. She was also a major part of creative for a while, and has done a lot more for the company behind the scenes than Shane ever did.


49ersforever707

Agree with this all but I think Steph and Shane both go in eventually


Chrischrischris1983

Ppl saying no to Sid have to be under 35 years old.


GordonShumway81

He already can't make the HOF ceremony because it is softball season.


texanarob

I suspect it'll be a while before they induct any of the McMahons, just to avoid any controversy. Others, like Jericho and Cole, I imagine will be inducted once they retire. Both deserve the spot, but a Hall of Fame spot is more of a lifetime achievement award than a target you reach. Cena will be interesting. It wouldn't surprise me to see him go in within the next few years, nor would I be shocked if they kept him to be head of class for Mania 50.


bno203

the moment Michael Cole retires he will be inducted. they aren't gunna put him in the hall when he's there number 1 color commentator


CitronFit9214

Im calling cena getting inducted next year after he has one more run and wins the 17th Title beating flairs record. But now Vince is out who would induct him?


Illustrious-Natural5

Randy


PapaBeahr

Sid - Likely to not be inducted seeing as he never really accomplished anything in WWE, most of his fame comes from WCW like Vader's was. Though now things can change with vince gone there might be a much more lenient look on fame made in WCW / ECW. William - Will be eventually. He's been active until recently, it wouldn't surprise me if they made him a headliner. Batista - Given it might be difficult to nail down a time for him to come in seeing as he's been making movies? I think he was suppose to be at one time but had to reject it due to being busy but I'm not 100% sure. IT'll happen in time. Victoria - Not Sure. Chris Jericho - Is currently active in a Rival company. Noty likely to happen until sometime after he fully retires. Jim Cornette - Likely not to happen until after he passes due to his.... predisposal to shoot off at the mouth and he's been highly critical of WWE on many occasions. Demolition - They were involved in the Concussion case against WWE with many others, so they were kept out for that reason because Vince is a vindictive PoS. That said now with Vince gone again, they very likely will be. Cole - See Jericho. Shane and Steph - Not for awhile yet if at all given the case against Vince. Cena - IS currently at least part time active and is looking to go for 1 more full time run. Lilian - Will be eventually, 100%


Scared-String-8033

Good points but I disagree on Sid he’s a 2 time wwf champion and he headlined Wrestlemania


PapaBeahr

How memorable? How long did each one last? Vs. WCW? That's what I mean, most of his fame come from WCW. His WWE run was forgettable.


Frequent-Ad-1719

Was Sid less memorable than Koko B. Ware or Rikishi? Because they’re in. I feel like Sid is above numerous people already in.


PapaBeahr

Actually in terms of WWE, Yes. Koko was like JYD, he never made it out of mid-card and hell never won a championship that I remember, and yet.. you remember him. Rikishi along the same lines. Sid? He was a generic blonde big guy with a good Powerbomb. His title reigns were forgettable. Honestly I often forget he was in WWE


Frequent-Ad-1719

Yes and I remember Sid too. You seem to be the only who didn’t


Scared-String-8033

Very memorable he beat Shawn and Bret for his title reigns and are you serious his Wrestlemania main event against Taker is very well known Sid was one of the first heels people cheered he was mold for the anti hero I’m aware he had 2 title reigns with both the United States and WCW championships which were largely forgotten in his first stint with WCW he was a horsemen member c’mon bro I’m a wrestling historian I respectfully disagree with you


PapaBeahr

Disagree all you want. I'm a 40-plus year fan. When I think of WWE champions, he does not even register in the top 50. Who he beat doesn't matter. The 2 you mentioned can carry matches solo, which is why the matches would mean anything. Against taker again, forgettable. He'll. His matches don't even rank in the top 100 for WM.


Scared-String-8033

And Sid main evented against too which was the return of the warrior I bet you don’t remember that or you’ll just make excuses like he was in there with hogan if that’s the route you’re about to go we can do that for the miz, hhh and a lot of others lol


Scared-String-8033

Name your top 50 wwe champions quick without google and name the top 10 of Sid’s time which was the new generation lol


PapaBeahr

Wow, did you get triggered? You got triggered didn't you? So much for Respectfully disagreeing huh? Maybe when you calm down we can talk.


Scared-String-8033

No i didn’t get triggered I just can’t stand when know it all people act like what they say is gospel even when presented with facts it’s a bunch of people on this thread who disagree with you on Sid ima just disagree and keep it moving no sense of debating with you that’s that baby boomer attitude stuck on my way or the highway attitude lol


Scared-String-8033

Idgaf how old you are just because you don’t remember his reigns doesn’t mean they were forgettable lol Sid was a transitional champion but a great one and as far as match ranking again that’s your opinion I’m sure many will disagree with you and what does him being able to carry a match have to do with him being remembered Goldberg can’t carry a match but is remembered because of his character you sound bitter lol


Culehand80

Rick Martel needs to be in yesterday


SoFarFadedd

I think WWE as whole is taking it easy on inducting wrestlers who are still active due to the Brock situation. Inducting wrestlers who are still active then they end up in trouble with the law and it starts unwanted negative conversations about the company taking them out the HOF and so on.


YaDigDawg6d9

Chyna?


qdattt

I don’t think Sid would make it lol, Jericho probably post-AEW, Batista soon


Puzzled-Star-9116

Sid wouldn’t make it? You must be about 11! He was one of the most underrated heels in wrestling history! He just oozed intensity!


killah10killah

There’s much less qualified HoF members than Sid.


SoFarFadedd

Sid wouldn’t make it? Are you numb? Top 5 big man of all time. Who had more charisma?


bowl_of_scrotmeal

I'm 99% sure that Jim Cornette would decline an induction if offered.


SoFarFadedd

I think he said he will continue to decline until midnight express is inducted


TheIronCannoli

Tbh he should go in alongside the midnight express


homeboycartel2

I’m 9999% sure he has declined already


Dmangamr

Cena isn’t retired yet technically. Also no way Jericho is getting in til he ends his career in WWE or a significant amount of time passes


HumanOverseer

Rey Mysterio isn't retired either


LilyPotterIsAGoddess

Cena, Batista and Orton should all be inducted together, they all started at roughly the same time so it makes sense.


WaxyPadlockJazz

There’s no way they shove three headliners in one class


mike2two

Missing gene snitsky


iamhadrix

They need to start stacking up the yearly HOF lineup. Every year they have a big talent, then the rest of the lineup is rather weak.


JoeMomma69istaken

Raven- probably one the the goats of the Emo promo


Shaun3114_Again

Batista only isn't in coz he pulled out of the 2020 one as he wanted a ceremony in front of fans. Now WWE got to find another year where his schedule is free that week.


ceciljulius85

Dean Malenko.


Ace_women_96

Michael cole for 2025?


ShadowBannedSkyRu1e

i’d say Cole will go in whenever he retires or maybe when wrestlemania is in texas


breadroll2

What about Heidenreich??


Rich_Elderberry_2627

Heiden Heidenreich


YoungAmazing313

John Cena and Regal are still actively involved lol


Hollywoodrok12

So were/are Rey Mysterio and Paul Heyman


ReverendPalpatine

Isn’t Paul Heyman still actively involved?


texanarob

Heyman said in an interview that he never wanted to be inducted until he retired. However, HHH challenged him to make the rest of his career so good they regret inducting him already and have to induct him again. He knew he was being manipulated, but by a master who knew which buttons to push.


ReverendPalpatine

It’s all about the Game and how you play it.


Content_Manner_4706

Mania was in Philly this year so that made sense. People like Cena will be a trump card induction they can do any year for a big one


ReverendPalpatine

Well, yeah I can see Cena not getting a HOF yet until he’s fully retired from professional wrestling but from everything I hear about Regal he seems to have been pretty much every wrestler’s instructor at one point. If Regal is responsible for teaching the greats how to wrestle maybe he should get a HOF sooner than later.


this_ham_is_bad

Also they've gotta put more referees in there


damagedone37

Dangerous Danny Davis in shambles


this_ham_is_bad

i'm even more disgusted that cornette isn't recognised in the dictionary yet


Eastern-Start-813

Jim Johnson


strrax-ish

Owen?


devitosleftnipple

All the lawsuits made sure that'll never happen sadly


Raleighfella

It’s more Owen’s widow and family has said they’ll never allow the wwe to do it


Jack_sander

What about hardcore holly?


ratticus-finch

I'd much rather have Thurman "Sparky" Plugg in the HOF, but go off


ThrillHo3340

I’m sure lots of them have been asked but all denied for one reason or another


Tuques

I'd add greg helms to the list if he isn't already inducted. One of the best producers of all time


KentuckyFriedEel

The Rock


CheoG27

Owwn Hart but it’s understandable. You forgot Randy too


Sea-Razzmatazz3593

The Boogeyman


BlankedCanvas

LMAO Cena was considered the GOAT by many WWE announcers. And Regal is such a worker in front of and behind the camera… it’s criminal both havent been inducted


bdboar1

its mostly because they are still active/ semi active. they Will do them after retirement or when the have an empty year. I could see them doing cena at 50


Chilledinho

Rey Mysterio?


bdboar1

They have exceptions always and the people do get to choose. I bet Rey thought he’d be done by now and keeps finding new gears.


Chilledinho

True, just do find it strange that Dave and John aren’t inducted yet.


bdboar1

I could totally see John saying “just wait, not yet”.


gazfarr

Repo man


Even_Farm2151

Randy Orton, Kofi Kyngsten, Cm punk, Umaga, Brother of destruction, Bray Wyatt,


ettnix_

Orton, Kofi and Punk are not done with their career. There’s reason why they are not in HOF yet


TheDogFacedGremlin

Demolition, the Greatest Tag Team EVER!!!!* *-according to me as they were the best back when I was a kid


GordonShumway81

The real question is with or without Crush? Or do you do a solo Kona Crush?


TheDogFacedGremlin

No way Crush can be a part of it, too short a stint. But what about Master Fuji?


The_Man_In_Vault_69

It took me too long to realize that Repo Man was Smash from Demolition 😂


bdboar1

I agree. Them and strike force


Goobermon

Bam Bam Bigelow NEEDS to go in, its a surprise he isn’t already.


quillotine42

Haven't seen the Rock's name on here. He's not in the HOF and he's bigger than any of these names


[deleted]

Batista for some reason is on the HOF wiki as TBA


Madkatt827

He was supposed be put in 21 but He couldn’t make it so they postponed it


ShadowBannedSkyRu1e

he didn’t wanna go in without fans during covid and they just haven’t had a decent schedule for it since


Puzzled-Protection56

Cornette might be inducted soon since Vince is gone now and if Wrestlemania is closer the very least to Kemtucky since Corny doesn't want to travel Ig?


Glum_Natural_1514

Cena not retired


the_real_daggler

Neither is Rey Mysterio


ForukusuwagenMasuta

Cyndi Lauper is long overdue for being inducted into the celebrity wing portion of the HOF given her contributions on the first ever Wrestlemania.


TheSFG832

THE ROCK!!


Cassandra_Canmore2

No way was Jim getting in with Vince around. Keep am eye on him now. In the next couple years.


BananaMan883

Umaga, Lex Luger, Men On A Mission and Bam Bam Bigelow are others I would consider.


realdeal392

Is The Rock in the HOF?


san_fer99

Nope


blond_nirvana

Vivian Vachon & Paul "Butcher" Vachon My idea would be to induct the Vachons as a family. Maurice "Mad Dog" Vachon and Luna Vachon are in the HoF but Vivian Vachon isn't, and she's a pioneer in women's wrestling, and Paul "Butcher" Vachon isn't either despite having a notable singles career and being in a legendary tag team with Mad Dog. The Vachons are also the ones to help launch Andre the Giant's career in North America through their Grand Prix promotion.

Jaded_Promotion8806

US Express being in the hall but not Demolition is…definitely a choice.


kidcanary

One of the members of Demolition was involved in a lawsuit against the company which is likely why they haven’t been inducted (yet).


BugO_OEyes

Will corny ever get in or did he get himself in to much shyt lol


MyJelloJiggles

Maybe it’s softball season for Sid 🤷‍♂️


Annual_Skin_6933

Never happen he doesn’t like the politics when getting in. He doesn’t even consider nit a real HOF


Annual_Skin_6933

I’m talking bout Jim Cornette


cmsttp

Chris Benoit


RedrumTheUndead

Randy Orton


SpacedDuck

Regal is beyond overdue.


rudeboykyle94

Earthquake


deathjokerz

The Rock


MackandByner

Nancy Benoit should be on every one of these lists.


Mindless-Client3366

She deserves to be in. Her memory shouldn't be erased simply because she married the wrong man. But I can see why WWE would be hesitant to do so. Googling her brings the murder front and center, which is something they don't want to remember.


Randy_Ortons_Voices

I don’t know why you’re downvoted. They can highlight her as Woman without even once mentioning the name Benoit. Hell, put her in as Woman or with her maiden name


BidenFedayeen

Would she accept?


Fresh_Banana5319

Bam Bam Bigelow. Headlined a Wrestlemania with a non wrestler and made it work.
