Future WWE Hall of Fame Wrestlers from WCW

Bruce Bostwick
Remember WCW when it was around? Well, as you can probably guess there are some wrestlers that you could associate with them and even back to the NWA Era. Mostly, it will have guys that were major stars and you would consider legends from that promotion that could go in the WWE Hall of Fame. Seeing how WCW was bought out now seven years ago and counting, there are notable names that would fit the bill and be classified as not only Hall of Fame wrestlers but also WCW guys.

Ricky Steamboat: You could make the case as an NWA guy or some ways a WWF guy but he's one of the very few wrestlers to never be a heel.

Sting: Perhaps in fans eyes, the most successful wrestler to never work for the WWE or Vince McMahon himself. Having won the NWA and WCW World Titles would have warranted a consideration, he has won the TNA World Title as well. The main thing with Sting is that he may have started a trend to see wrestlers be successful without being in WWE and can do it anywhere. If Verne Gagne can get in despite never working for the WWE, then Sting could as well.

Eric Bischoff: You can say all you want about him but truth be told, he belongs in the WWE Hall of Fame someday. Here was a guy who made WWE better by running Nitro live. You can call him the master of controversy as he broke an unwritten rule about not giving away your competitor's results.

The Four Horsemen: Ric Flair is all ready in it so he would be out of the question there. The rest like the Anderson's and Blanchard would be the fitting bill for that position. You can tell how memorable how this group is when you see fans holding up the four fingers.

New World Order: As a group, it had an impact and was one of the main reasons WCW was winning in the Monday Night Wars. You could call them more or less a tweener group considering that despite the fact they were heels, they were getting cheered. By inducting this group, you would have to look at mainly the original members like Hall, Nash, and Hogan though it'd probably be Hall and Nash going in without him. The main reason would be because like Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan has been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005.

Steiner Bros.: Probably one of the best brother tag teams that you could ever imagine. You could make the case that Scott Steiner could go in by himself seeing how he became successful but if you want to look at tag teams, these guys were among the best that you could find.

If you want to induct announcers as well, look at people like Gordon Solie, mainly known for the NWA Era, and Tony Schavione for being the face of play by play in WCW. That is up to anyone on that one to decide whether you add more announcers or not.
