5 early predictions for the 2022 WWE Hall of Fame class

#4. WWE Hall of Fame tag team: Doom

There's been a recent trend in WWE Hall of Fame inductees - and it's not a bad trend, by any means - where a successful former tag team (or faction, even) of an existing Hall of Famer is added.

This serves the double purpose of both inducting that deserving superstar a second time, as well as their partner, who may have been overlooked throughout the years.

We've seen this fairly recently, with Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray), the Hart Foundation (Bret Hart/Jim Neidhart), and Chyna as part of D-Generation X.

It even goes back to 2012, when the Four Horsemen were inducted, making Ric Flair the very first two-time WWE Hall of Famer and also inducting JJ Dillon, Barry Windham, Arn Anderson, and Tully Blanchard, as well.

Doom, one of the most dominant and powerful tag teams in WCW history, consisted of current WWE Hall of Fame member Ron Simmons (aka Faarooq) and his partner, Butch Reed.

Before teaming up with Simmons, Reed already had a pretty impressive career, wrestling in Mid-South Wrestling and the World Wrestling Federation - even being in the main event of the very first Survivor Series show.

Sadly, Reed passed away in February of last year at the age of 66.

Doom originally debuted wearing masks and managed by Woman (the late Nancy Toffoloni).

Eventually, they ditched the masks, took on current Hall of Famer Teddy Long as their manager, and defeated probably the best tag team of that era, the Steiner Brothers, for the WCW Tag Team Championships.

In the history of pro wrestling, Doom is an important but often forgotten team, deserving of induction. This should be the year it happens.
