#9 Greg 'the Hammer' Valentine

The Hammer used the Figure Four Leg Lock before Ric Flair joined WWF.

Greg 'the Hammer' Valentine had a lot of success prior to his WWF run mainly in NWA and Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling.

He won every title in MACW and a few in the World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico, but his success didn't completely translate to WWF.

Valentine won a tag team championship with Brutus Beefcake and an Intercontinental Championship during his time in WWF.

If you don't remember him or do to some degree, think of Chris Farley only a slightly less heavy version who is sort of jacked.

When Dolph Ziggler came out to the ring recently with his hair blow-dried, he looked like an in-shape Valentine.

Sure, he had success before getting to WWF, but he was a serviceable mid-card talent at best. And that's not taking into account his thoughts on how women should 'stay in the kitchen and be barefoot and pregnant'.

He's not exactly a progressive thinker and for a company that is so worried about its public perception, it's surprising that a person who feels that way about women represents them as a HOF inductee.
