Wrestler - Two wrestlers will be inducted. They can be male or female, but they have to be wrestlers.

Foreign (Non American/Canadian) - One wrestler will be inducted as a showcase of non American or Canadian talent.

Tag Team - One tag team (2 members) will be inducted as a showcase of their contributions to the art of tag team wrestling.

Celebrity - One celebrity will be honored for their work in professional wrestling.




1983 - That is the deadline for when the wrestler could make their debut. In other words, everyone nominated must be at least a 25 year old name. This isn't a Hall of Fame for the best currently, so for this first round of inductions, the nomination must have either been a rookie or been wrestling in or before 1983. However, that's just the starting point. You can nominate someone who debuted in 1980 and is still wrestling today.

10 Years - Everyone nominated must have been active for 10 years.

3 Years - *For Tag Team only* Each tag team nominated must have been a tag team for at least 3 full years. They did not need to start teaming before 1983 though. Both have to follow qualification number 1 though.

Reasons - This is to be taken serious, so please give reasons for each nomination.

Celebrity - *Only for celebrity nominations* There isn't any form of year qualification, but they must of had an actual role in the wrestling. For example, Shaq at the Survivor Series just watching and having everyone chant his name, can not be inducted. David Arquette being that he's wrestled in a couple of matches is eligible to be nominated. Secondly, they must mainly be known for their work outside of wrestling, not as a former wrestler. Jesse Ventura for his return in 1999 isn't eligible seeing how he was a former wrestler.

Nominations

3 Picks - You may nominate up to three picks for Celebrity, Foreign and Tag Team.

5 Picks - You may nominate up to three picks for Wrestler.

Repeats - Please do not repeat any previous nominated wrestler OR already inducted wrestler.

Wrestler
1. Randy Savage - Personally, I think he influenced a lot more wrestlers then the likes of Flair, and is the most underrated wrestler in history.

2. Roddy Pipper - Although I was never a fan of his, he did put on some memorable wrestling moments.

Foreign (Non American/Canadian)
1. Iron Sheik - Probably the best non american talent the WWE ever had. Love this guy.

2. British Bulldog - I think this guy is very underrated. Was very, very close to winning the E's triple crown award when it actually meant something, and imo, he's one of the best to never hold a World Title..

Celebrity
1. Mr. T
2. Lawrence Taylor
3. David Arquette - Was part of one of my favorite matches in Dub C Dub history.

Tag Team
