10 Unbelievable Omissions From The WWE Hall Of Fame

1. Owen Hart

Sid Vicious WCW
WWE

With a WWF career that spanned ten years, Hart won every major championship there was to win in the comapny - except the big one. Had he not tragically died in May of '99, there's a half-decent chance he may have bagged that, too.

As a worker, Owen was spectacular. He could do it all in the ring. Whether it was the technical precision of his bouts with brother Bret in '94, or getting rough and rugged in his wars with Ken Shamrock in '98, 'The King of Harts' had all the bases covered and made it look easy while he did it.

Even more rare was his seemingly universal likeability. In an industry that is overflowing with egos, backstabbers and liars, Owen is the rare case of a wrestler who enjoyed his work for what it was, and didn't allow it to influence his personality or his personal life.

For a man that gave his life for the wrestling business, Owen deserves to be immortalised in the Hall of Fame - and his induction would be the ultimate celebration of his life. Sadly, Owen's wife has purportedly objected to Owen's inclusion, and wishes to disassociate her family from wrestling.

Owen was one of a kind, both in the ring and out of it, and the Hall of Fame seems far less legitimate by his absence.
