#5 Chief Wahoo McDaniel

Unlike Chief Jay Strongbow, Wahoo McDaniel had legitimate Native American ancestry.

The former NFL pro was widely regarded as one of the toughest men to ever lace up a pair of boots. From his stiff chops to his take-no-prisoners attitude between the ropes, McDaniel is the most respected Native to ever wrestle professionally.

With a list of accomplishments that reads like a grocery list of Championships from various promotions, it's hard to knock Wahoo McDaniel's qualifications for the Hall of Fame, yet he has yet to be inducted.

Why he's not going in: First and foremost, Wahoo McDaniel isn't a grappler modern fans are familiar with. Second, he never worked for the WWE during his long, illustrious career. While the WWE has honoured others with the same background, they don't do so very often.
