10 Hall Of Famers Who Fell Out With The WWE

5. Alundra Blayze

Debrah Miceli, aka Alundra Blayze, aka Madusa, finally became a member of the WWE Hall of Fame earlier this year, but for a long period of time her inclusion in the HOF looked like it was never going to happen.

The issue here was that the WWE held a major grudge against Miceli due to the way that she left the then-WWF back in 1995, and some would say that they had every reason for their ill-feeling.

Whilst still the Women's Champion, Alundra Blayze would leave the WWF. Before you knew it, Madusa appeared on live WCW television, carrying the WWF Women's Championship, which she promptly threw in a trash can.

Miceli was a hugely popular and influential wrestler, and was without question deserving of a Hall of Fame spot. It was just a shame that it took until 2015 for her and the WWE to put their problems behind them.
