10 Ways WWE Could Improve Hall Of Fame

2. Create Standards For Eligibility

WWE needs to identify exactly who is eligible for their Hall Of Fame and when they would become eligible because right now, it's a crapshoot. In some cases, active wrestlers have been inducted into the Hall Of Fame (Ric Flair, 2008) so by that rationale, shouldn't The Undertaker have already been inducted by now? In other cases, one year removed from their final WWE match, wrestlers like Shawn Michaels and Edge received their honour, but Randy Savage and The Ultimate Warrior had to wait 20 years since their last WWE match. Must the nominations be retired? How long after they retire can they be inducted? You can see the confusion it creates. Standards of eligibility should be created that outline when a superstar or personality is officially "eligible" for consideration into the WWE Hall Of Fame with retirement being a requirement. Doing so would also create a legitimate "first ballot" premium that would get bestowed upon the individuals that received the nod the first year they became eligible. While it's unlikely to be a perfect system, some sort of guideline would be better than what the company has now, which is zero.
