Johnny Rodz was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 1996. Due to the lack of names available for induction, this marked the final Hall of Fame ceremony in WWE for eight years.

The reason why WWE took a break from the Hall Of Fame was that they were forced to induct lowly jobber to the stars, Johnny Rodz into the Hall of Fame to pad out the ceremony.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Rodz had wrestled in the company for two decades and was the definition of a company man, which is why he was chosen.

For a contemporary comparison, Rodz would be the equivalent to The Brooklyn Brawler being inducted today or Curt Hawkins being enshrined two decades from now. Rodz in the Hall of Fame does not fit and should not have happened.

In truth, Vince McMahon should have probably suspended the Hall of Fame one year earlier.
