Should be in the Hall of Fame: Honky Tonk Man

During WWE's 'classic' era, Honky Tonk Man sold more tickets than Hulk Hogan.

This is probably because Honky was one of the most despised heels of the decade. Because Baby Boomer nostalgia was at an all-time high in the 1980s, Elvis was a popular figure even in death. A bad guy doing bad things while looking so much like the King of Rock and Roll was heresy to many, and people would line up for a chance to see him get beat up and humiliated.

Honky Tonk Man had a career before the WWE under his real name Wayne Bloom as one of the Blonde Bombers and has plenty of credibility and accolades to achieve hall of fame status. So why isn't he in yet?
