#2 'Mean' Gene Okerlund in The Hall of Fame
After 26 years in the professional wrestling business, 'Mean' Gene Okerlund would take his rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame in 2006, joining the already esteemed class alongside Bret Hart, Eddie Guerrero, the Blackjacks, Sensational Sherri, Verne Gagne, and his Legends House co-star Tony Atlas.
Okerlund's Hall of Fame position was more than well earned. Although not a wrestler, Okerlund had an incredible career in WWE and WCW, and provided us with countless unforgettable moments. Okerlund would be inducted into the Hall of Fame by his good friend Hulk Hogan, and there was really no other better candidate as the Hulkster spoke proudly on Okerlund's career.
During his acceptance speech, Okerlund hilariously quoted legendary basketball coach Bob Knight when he said he would request to be buried face down upon his death so his critics can "Kiss my ass".
