The WWE finally decided to include Chyna as part of D-Generation X into the Hall of Fame Class of 2019. The Ninth Wonder of the World was finally given the recognition that she deserves, after differences between both parties.
Chyna had left the company on a sour note and was upset about how things had transpired at that point of time. The WWE wasn’t too happy about it either, though all was not lost at that point. She has been given her rightful place amongst these legends and there are more present superstars who deserve the same.
Here is a list of five WWE superstars/factions that deserve to be inducted into the Hall of Fame this year.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#5 The Hardy Boyz
One of the most decorated teams in the WWE and still going strong are The Hardy Boyz, who made their debut more than two decades ago. They have won multiple titles over the years, including the tag titles and various individual titles. Both the brothers have been on top of the mountain, along with Lita (who is already a Hall of Famer) as well.
However, their push on their return to the company did not last long and they were back to the mid-card really soon. The injury to Jeff Hardy didn’t help their cause as well, as Matt had to then look for a new partner and eventually decided to take some time off, making his return to on-screen action only on the most recent episode of SmackDown Live.
With that being said, they are one duo that surely deserves to be part of the list of this elite class of superstars, who have given their all for the company over the years. Hopefully, the WWE management obliges.
#4 Christian
Like his tag-team partner Edge and The Hardy Boyz, Christian has been a multi-time champion and a top star in his own sense. He has had some amazing storylines over the years and has changed from babyface to heel, as and when the company has asked him to.
He has received a lot of recognition and credit over the years, but still deserves more and hopefully can make it to the Hall of Fame soon. Edge was inducted into this prestigious group back in 2012 and it is still surprising how Captain Charisma has been overlooked for so long.
Despite not always being on top of the mountain, Christian has managed to do some great storylines and he always had a following of his own.
He even hosted The Peep Show which was an attraction for the fans, to add to his various other talented gimmicks. He is one star who always caught the audience’s attention and has put a lot of efforts for the company over the years. Though he is not on “Live TV” anymore, he surely deserves this induction.
#3 The Hart Dynasty
The passing of Jim Neidhart in 2018 was another huge loss for the WWE. The company has seen a lot of members coming in from The Hart Dungeon over the years and representing this great family.
The WWE has been trying to induct Owen Hart into the Hall of Fame, though his wife still owns all the rights to that trademark. Hence it becomes impossible for the company to induct him into the Hall of Fame, though Bret Hart has already been.
With that being said, they could just induct the entire Hart Dynasty as a faction and make amends for some of the errors that they have made in the past.
This would also give credit to some of the unsung heroes like Tyson Kidd and David Hart Smith that the company has failed to recognize in the past. Kidd had to retire after suffering a spinal cord injury during a match on June 1, 2015.
Natalya has been the pillar of this faction in recent times, though she only started off as their manager. She has been a former champion with the company and is going stronger than ever.
Not just that, with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon turning baby-face in recent times, this will surely add to that positive storyline as well, though once again Vince might have something to say about it (as part of the storyline only).
#2 The Big Show
There is no “bigger superstar” in the WWE than The Big Show himself. Claimed to be the 500-pound giant who was dominating the Attitude Era and beyond with his strength and huge size, the Main-Event star has done it all.
Starting off as a heel, he has blended in well as both a heel and a face and has won multiple titles over the years. He has made movies, even done silly and embarrassing things on the screen and has even has had the time of his life with the WWE, giving his all and more.
He is one of the most loved superstars at present and the crowd really acknowledges his on-screen presence, as he can connect well with the audience.
He deserves to be awarded for his loyalty and service, as he has been a mainstay since the time he joined WWE back in 1999. Paul Donald Wight II has done everything to deserve induction and it is only a matter of time before it happens.
#1 The Undertaker
Another wrestler who totally deserves to go into the Hall of Fame is none other than The Phenom himself, The Undertaker. The Legend of the Undertaker is well known across the globe and he has left his mark on this industry through the ages.
He has become a legend in this industry and now makes a single appearance in a calendar year at Wrestlemania (at least till last year). Having made his debut in 1990, the legend of the Undertaker has been one of the greatest storylines of the Attitude Era.
His character was so strongly built that it did not just do wonders for him, but for Paul Bearer and Kane as well. Even when he changed his character to the “American Bada$$” against the total agreement of Vince McMahon and made a return, the audiences were still on his side. This made his career path much simpler and he grows even more like a superstar who would be immortalized eventually.
More than two decades on dominance for The Dead Man surely makes him one of the top stars who should be inducted any elite group. The fans will be hoping that the company obliges.
