5 WWE Hall of Fame Inductees that didn't add up

The WWE Hall of Fame was established way back in 1993, originally as a way to pay tribute to the passing of much loved WWE legend, Andre the Giant who had died two months earlier.
It was a wonderful idea in theory as the company sought to celebrate the three decade history of the promotion by celebrating the legends of it's past. However, in practice the Hall of Fame was somewhat more problematic.
The focal reason for this was that many of the stars that McMahon would have chosen to induct into his Hall of Fame were unavailable due to the fact they worked for his competition in WCW and ECW. Names like Hulk Hogan, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Bobby Heenan, Gene Okerlund, Ricky Steamboat and Terry Funk would have been perfect candidates in the mid-1990s.
With his wrestling company in a major battle for survival, McMahon tried to keep up with the financial might of Ted Turner's WCW as well as defending himself against the United States Government. Therefore, paranoia was rife on McMahon's part and he turned to his trusted allies when choosing who to induct into the 1994-96 Hall of Fall ceremonies.
This meant that the company inducted some names that were lacking in star power.
There was little promotion on television, which was probably for the best as many fans would have been decidedly underwhelmed by many of the choices for induction in the dark days of the Hall of Fame.
In more contemporary years, WWE have also made several curious choices for it's Hall of Fame. There is a a popular meme online which states if Koko B. Ware can be inducted in the Hall of Fame, then anyone is eligible.
Although Koko is not Hall of Fame worthy, there are more undeserving inductees in the Hall of Fame than him. SK looks at five of them in this slideshow as we analyse the worst WWE Hall of Famers of all time.
