I honestly can't remember what William Perry did in wrestling, but I'm sure it wasn't HOF worthy. He was in the Battle Royal at WM2. That's it. Although I suppose, by virtue of having his own GI Joe figure, he could also be considered an ally of Sgt. Slaughter.

Well then why did Verne Gagne and Nick Bockwinkel go into the HOF? Nick Bockwinkel was in the first ever WWF AWA title unification match against WWF champion Bob Backlund. As for Verne Gagne, In late 1983 Hogan accepted an offer from Vincent K. McMahon to go to the WWF. Allegedly, Gagne offered The Iron Sheik $100,000 to break Hogan's leg during their World Title Match, with the intention that he return to the AWA with the belt. Supposedly Sheik refused the offer and informed Hogan, the McMahons, and Pat Patterson about the planned double cross, and Hulkamania was born. However Gagne claims the deal was never made. So Gagne is responsible for the birth of Hulkamania. Both deserve their place on the WWE HOF.

Kaufman should have been the first celeb induction. for whatever reason, it hasn't been done. I'm really suprised that it hasn't, with the pull Lawler has.

Taxi was probably off air about 10-15 years before I was born, and even I know who he is.

Because he gave professional wrestling the most mainstream exposure it had ever had at the time, and did so by feuding with another WWE Hall of Famer. People (and not just celebs, but actual wrestlers) have been inducted for far less.

I think inducting non wrestling celebrities into a wrestling hall of fame is really stupid but if any celebrity should be inducted into the HOF it should be Andy Kauffman, his feud with Jerry Lawler was pretty well known and was really good for the wrestling industry. Andy Kauffman is way more deserving of HOF status than Pete Rose and even The Fridge.

Andy Kaufman was a comic (though he said he didn't do comedy) who was best known as Latka Gravas on Taxi. Outside of that show, the best way to describe Andy was that he was a guy who "messed with people's heads". His acts involved creating some type of controversy that he would pretend was real (much like wrestling storylines and kayfabe). The best example would be his feud w/Jerry Lawler. They appeared on David Letterman together when Kaufman insulted Lawler and Lawler slapped him HARD , for real. Even though Lawler and Andy were in on it, everyone watching thought it was real, and Letterman may have too. Andy Kaufman was brilliant and basically used to f*ck with people's heads. Here's a clip of the Lawler/Kaufman incident on David Letterman. Andy Kaufman was brlliant: who the is andy kauffman
