10 Strangest WWE Hall Of Famers Ever

2. Donald Trump

Obviously, when WWE inducted Donald Trump into their hallowed pantheon of wrestling legends, they probably didn't expect he'd be elected President of the United States three years later. Nostradamus with a copy of every newspaper horoscope for the next millennium probably didn't either. Who would?

Trump being in a wrestling Hall of Fame is strange for the same reason it'd be peculiar if you learned Nelson Mandela had once won Eurovision (not least because he was African). Abraham Lincoln's pre-presidential pugilism aside, a history involved with the squared-circle is not something you usually see on the résumés of Oval Office incumbents.

It's perhaps Trump's most worthy achievement.

Obviously this is only bizarre in hindsight, and there are a number of others who fit the bill. Sunny, for example. But Sunny went on to do eggy porn (or French porn, if you're British); she didn't become president (not yet, anyway). One could argue that taking the highest office in the land has imbued Trump's induction with gravitas, instead of it being, you know, a farce. It's actually the opposite that's true: A WWE Hall of Famer runs America. The whole country is undermined.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
