8 People Who Went Into WWE Hall Of Fame For The Wrong Reasons

7. James Dudley Is Inducted For Being Friends With Vince

Dudley was part of the class of 1994. James, and I quote from Pro Wrestling Wiki: "Worked with the McMahons backstage, starting with the Capital Wrestling Corporation working for Jess McMahon. He then worked in the WWWF, where he became friends with Vincent J. McMahon." A friend? Really. He reportedly became a glorified assistant to McMahon senior and was even classed as his personal limo driver at one point. A friend and a limo driver? This doesn't scream Hall of Fame at you, does it? Dudley would go on to wave a towel around as Bobo Brazil made his entrance but his induction was more down to his contribution to the business as a whole. McMahon helping one of his own out here.
