10 Wrestlers Who Could Be Inducted To WWE Hall Of Fame Next Year
10. Stan Hansen
If only because JBL's induction speech will probably be the most insanely ridiculous thing ever, you want Stan Hansen to be inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame in Hansen's home state of Texas. Most of Hansen's renown came as a gaijin terror in All Japan and New Japan at the tail end of the 20th century. Howeverhis style and gimmick as the rabble-rousing Texan has been imitated and duplicated literally worldwide, but not a single wrestler has ever exceeded his legacy. With JBL at a place in the company where he's starting gain a bit of influence as a likely-to-be lifelong employee, the man responsible for much of the essence of his persona deserves induction.
