#6 Hillbilly Jim

The 'Hillbilly' gimmick might not work in today's game, but it did back in the 80s.

Hillbilly Jim was literally inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame last year. His championships won during his run? Zero. His titles won outside of the WWF? Zero.

His character would be considered politically incorrect in today's society as the term 'hillbilly' might be seen as derogatory to some.

So if he didn't win any titles in any promotion he wrestled in and wasn't involved in major storylines during his WWF tenure, then why is he in the HOF?

He is friends with Hulk Hogan, so perhaps that sway led to an induction. But with others like Vader, King Kong Bundy and the Steiner Brothers not in the HOF, it just seems extremely absurd that someone like Hillbilly Jim is.

It's not to say that he isn't an extremely affable person in real life, but when it comes to an award to honor accomplishments, you need some accomplishments to warrant an induction.
