th President of the United States found his way into the WWE HOF.
When the WWE Hall of Fame was originally formed, I’m pretty sure no one expected to see the day when we would see the likes of Snoop Dogg and Donald Trump enshrined in what should be the most prestigious fraternity known to the sport. With that said, I’m not writing this to bash one person or one political party or anything like that.

I just think the celebrity inductees have done more harm than good to the nature of what the WWE Hall of Fame should represent. After all, what exactly have these individuals done to constitute an induction into the HOF? Let's see, Trump’s biggest contribution to the industry was the infamous “Battle of the Billionaires” match at Wrestlemania 23 where Bobby Lashley took on Umaga with Trump or Mr McMahon getting a haircut at the conclusion. Is that really a historic moment that justifies a Hall of Fame nod?
Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
