The World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Fame has evolved into a Hall of Fame for all of Professional Wrestling/Sports Entertainment's legendary, innovative figures.
Therefore, this is one of the many roughdrafts I composed trying to compose a fantasy class for 2014 based on legitimate candidates whom could actually be part of next year's ceremony.
For the record, I'm only giving my reasons for my choices for the sake of younger board members.
#1: Lita(Arguably the most talented female wrestler of the last 20 years outside of Trisha Stratus & Victoria)
#2: Jake "The Snake" Roberts(The quintessential in-ring psychologist & variation of the "No need for titles" super draws that erupted countless crowds & gave world class overall performances)
#:3 "Ravishing" Rick Rude(One of the most complete wrestlers of his generation & of wrestling history as a whole)
#:4 The "Fabulous" Freebirds(Wildly popular in the southern based territories & Michael Hayes' work behind the scenes in WWE are the stuff of legend)
#5: Dominic Denucci(Fantastic performer & top draw of the 1970s)
#6: "Macho Man" Randy Savage(As if I have to explain)
#7: Miss Elizabeth(The greatest Valet in the history of the business. Not manager, but the best valet)
#8: Earl Hebner(Referee of the Millennium)
#9: Jim Johnson(Legendary theme music composer)
#10:... Lou Thesz. The single most technically sound wrestler of the 40s, 50s, & 60s with a string of over 8 reigns as some form of the World's Heavyweight Wrestling Championship INCLUDING the ORIGINAL World's title awarded to George Hackschmidt in 1905.
It's only fair considering his some of his most popular rivals of the golden age, Gorgeous George, Antnonino "Argentina" Rocca, Verne Gagne, & Buddy Rogers, are there as well.
Feel free to post names you believe could actually be chosen for the WrestleMania 30 Hall of Fame Class, but PLEASE. Take it easy with the factions featuring people who have already entered.

Dean Ambrose
Jon Moxley
Moxx Moxley
Jonny "The Body" Moxley
Disco Mox
Ref Moxley
Switchblade Conspiracy (Joey Gacy, Jon Moxley, Sami Callihan)
Damn good Hall of Fame right there.
For real though, Lita has to go in this year. D-Generation X aswell.

I wonder if its like the Rock Hall where they have a list to vote on. I'd love to see who got shafted for who.
I wanna see the Freebirds go in while Hayes is still alive .

Jim Johnston is a must. The guy's a master at his craft and it's only right if he gets the recognition he deserves.

I know not all of these can go in this year but my list of hopefuls are....
Randy Savage (been first on my list for many years)
Ultimate Warrior (controversial yes, but now may be the time)
Jake Roberts (He's clean and alive. Hurry before either of those aren't true)
British Bulldog (Bret inducting Davey Boy would be great to see)
Rick Rude (Maybe have Steamboat induct him)
Barry Windham (I know he's in as a 4H, but he deserves his own induction)
Big Bossman (Dusty inducting)
Magnum TA (Dusty inducting)
Nikita Koloff (I know it's highly unlikely)
Lex Luger (Love him or Hate him, he's had a great career)
Fabulous Freebirds (long long overdue)
Midnight Express (Lane, Eaton, & Cornette) (Long shot, but I'd love to see it)

macho man: a definate must have. if hogan never existed, randy would be the bigest thing pro wrestling has ever seen.
elizabeth: could lump her in with macho man. she played a key role in getting him over as her manager, weather it being a fued with george steele, or hulk hogan.
rick rude: one of the greatest heat seekers EVER. great look, great on the mic, the complete package of what a mega heel should be.
jake roberts: one of the greatest in ring performers ever. dilivered spine chilling promos with his calm and scary delivery.
the rock: no need to explain here.

-Rick Rude
-Jake Roberts
-Rick Martel
-The Great Muta
-Marty Jannetty
-Demolition
-Macho Man & Miss Elizabeth
That would be the perfect class IMO

Lou Thesz is the greatest wrestler of all time. If he is not in the Hall of Fame, the Hall of Fame shouldn't exist. |

DX and Lita probably will be going in and possibly Undertaker if it is his last match.

I'm definitely enjoying this thread so far.
My only reason for not including Undertaker & The Rock was due to the lack of chance that Dwane Johnson will retire at WrestleMania 30. Undertaker is much more likely to sign off on the final chapter of a truly one of a kind legacy.

DX will go in this year and I get the feeling Nash will too. Miss Elizabeth is long overdue for the Hall of Fame.

What's the rush to get DX in?
I think Warrior is going to be the name inductee.
Ultimate Warrior
Honky Tonk Man
Powers of Pain (or Demolition)
Paul Bearer
Larry Zbyszko
Lita

1)Savage or Warrior. I don't think both should go in the same year. both could be the headliner inductee,so both should be inducted in separate years to give them that honor.
2)Fabulous Freebirds. definitely a must!
3)Paul Bearer. wasn't he confirmed?
4)Lita. yeah,she definitely works as the female inductee this year.
5)Jake Roberts. It's criminal he's not in yet.
6)Miss Elizabeth. a no-brainer
7)Lou Thesz. like others have said,you can't have a wrestling hall of fame without him!
8)D-X.

I have it on good authority - Larry Zbysko told me himself at WrestleMania 29 AXXESS that he thinks he'll be going in next year.... You heard it here!  Beyond that, I think probably DX will be next year..... and I've heard Paul Bearer is nearly a lock which probably excludes Savage/Liz (I think they generally just like to do one deceased person at a time). For the ladies - maybe Lita? |

People keep forgetting that Savage didn't want to be inducted alone.
1. The Ultimate Warrior
2. The Poffo Family
3. Jim Johnston
4. Ms. Elizabeth
5. Paul Bearer
6. Jake "The Snake" Roberts
7. DX
8. New World Order or just Razor Ramon/Scott Hall
