WWE Hall of Fame? Or Hall of Shame?

By Ryan Porzl
The WWE Hall of Fame has been one of wrestling's most known hall of fames and one of the oldest. It was originally created in 1993 to honor one of wrestling's greatest names in "The Eighth Wonder of the World" Andre the Giant. Following this, the WWF would continue the Hall of Fame for three more years where it truly felt like a Hall of Fame. While some inductees were questionable, the majority unquestionably deserved it and it felt prestigous. After an eight year period of inactivity, the now WWE brought the Hall of Fame back. Unfortunately, since it's return eleven years ago, many inductees and the way the WWE has treated it has seen some rightful criticism. While many WWE and/or wrestling legends have rightfully taken their place in the Hall of Fame, the WWE has also made their Hall of Fame, at times, to be nothing more than a joke. Along with deserving legends, the WWE has also inducted wrestlers who spent their WWE careers as jobbers; celebrities who may have only made one forgettable appearance in a pathetic attempt at some publicity; or wrestlers who have been retired or deceased for a short period of time while legends from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s routinely get snubbed. This article will take a look at the continuing mistakes the WWE makes and ways they could make it better.
