10 Questionable names that are in the WWE Hall of Fame

Not every inductee should be in the Hall of Fame.

#7 'Hacksaw' Jim Duggan

Although he won the first Royal Rumble, is he really worthy of the Hall of Fame?

'Hacksaw' Jim Duggan had a simple gimmick but one that he played perfectly throughout his career.

Duggan never captured any gold in the WWF and captured mid-card gold in WCW twice. He was never a main-event guy or one who had matches which the fans would rave about.

But since he was a memorable, over-the-top goofy character, he's remembered fondly by fans who grew up with him.

Like many pro wrestlers, he had a cup of tea in the NFL but was released by the Atlanta Falcons due to nagging knee issues.

When Duggan was in a match in the WWF, it was usually as the least important member of a team, like with Hulk Hogan, or as someone defending the honor of the USA.

While he was a kid-friendly wrestler who may have officially won the first Royal Rumble, the exploits of his career don't seem worthy of a HOF induction.
