Wendy Richter is in the WWE Hall of Fame and Cyndi Lauper isn't. That's no knock on Richter, who totally deserves to be in there, but that's just ridiculous.

In the 1980s, Cyndi Lauper was one of the biggest stars in the music business. She not only helped put MTV on the proverbial map but, no kidding, the WWF, as well. There would actually be no "Rock 'N' Wrestling Connection" if it wasn't for the singer of "She Bop". She also put Captain Lout Albaino in her most famous music video which is... how about that?... right here.

In 2012, Cyndi returned to WWE - alongside both RIchter and then-Divas champion Layla - for a special segment. It was part of the build-up for Raw's 1000th episode, and it saw her 1980s rival, Roddy Piper, make peace with her, and also... they beat up Heath Slater.

And, I love you, Heath. You're awesome. But, that was hilarious.

The fact of the matter is, and I know this, the Hall of Fame ceremony is not very likely to induct a singer from the 80s - as awesome as she is - that the majority of younger WWE fans simply aren't going to recognize, much less remember. But, that doesn't mean she's not deserving.
