Predating Rotundo's well-known run as Irwin R. Schyster was his time with the US Express, teaming with Barry Windham under his real name. The pair held the WWF World Tag Team belts on two occasions, and defended them in the inaugural WrestleMania against Nikolai Volkoff and The Iron Sheik. Rotundo is actually the first man to reign as Tag Team champion five times with WWE, as three reigns came later as part of Money Inc with Ted Dibiase. Rotundo's in-ring career is prolific enough to merit an induction, something that seems likely given his long tenure as a backstage producer. It would be worth the induction just to see Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas drop character for a night to induct their father, wouldn't it?
