5 legends that could headline the WWE 2018 Hall of Fame
The WWE hall of fame recognizes wrestling legends who made an impact in the wrestling business. Andre the Giant was the inaugural inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame. Since then, there have been 164 inductees,111 wrestlers inducted individually and 11 group inductions consisting of 31 wrestlers within the groups. 36 members were inducted posthumously
All wrestlers who are no longer active inside the squared circle dream of getting inducted into the hall of fame. The ceremony is used to celebrate superstars who have retired from in-ring competition. Vince McMahon ultimately makes the choice of who gets inducted into the hall of fame each year.
Here are the five legends that could headline next year's hall of fame ceremony.
#5 Christian
Christian began wrestling in singles and tag team competition with longtime best friend Edge. He won world titles in WWE, ECW and TNA. Though Vince McMahon was never impressed by his looks, Christian helped revolutionize the tag team division alongside his partner Edge. Their match at Wrestlemania 2000 against the Hardy Boyz and Dudley boyz was epic. It is this match that led to the creation of the Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match.
Christian won the World Heavyweight Championship when he defeated Alberto Del Rio at the 2011 Extreme Rules pay-per-view event. He later had great matches with Randy Orton for the World title. Christian's final match took place on the March 24th episode of Raw. He won a fatal four-way match against Alberto Del Rio, Dolph Ziggler and Sheamus to challenge Big E for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. He did not have the match with Big E since he got a concussion and was therefore sidelined.
For all his contributions to the tag team division and singles competition, it would be great to see Christian inducted into the hall of fame.
