After reading Adams excellent article under Hitmans Icon, It does make you scratch your head about their voting process. To me it sounds like whoever Vince can think of and wants to promote at the moment who is on his good side. I Actually was surprised a few years back when Roddy Piper was inducted since they've had such a Love-Hate relationship, But there was really no way to leave him out career-wise or wrestlemania-wise.
Like Adam mentioned, I also would like to see some Tag Teams inducted such as Legion of Doom, The British Bulldogs and the Hart Foundation (as a separate entity from Bret's solo career).
I think Stables or Factions are too many. How do you induct the entire nWo over the years,
and the 4 Horsemen had too many lineups and a few really weak members (Steve McMicheal & Paul Roma come to mind). Actually the nWo had it's fair share of weak members as well.
They/Vince needs to think harder when filling out the years inductees. There are tons of deserving people, Way too many to list here.
I'll be honest and say I don't know everyone that's got in but a couple I haven't heard that should be considered are former AWA Champ Rick "The Model" Martel & Don "The Rock" Muraco.
Personally, I dont think "Guest Celebrities" have a place in the Hall of Fame except perhaps as honorable mention in a Group photo or online display.
