5 Ruthless Aggression Era stars WWE should consider for the 2018 Hall of Fame
With WrestleMania season just a couple of months away, much of the talk surrounding WWE’s annual extravaganza has surrounded the anticipated Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns and Kurt Angle vs. Triple H matches.
However, WrestleMania weekend also includes the one and only time of the year when WWE inducts a select few legendary performers into their Hall of Fame.
The 2017 ceremony was headlined by Kurt Angle and also saw Teddy Long, DDP, Beth Phoenix and Rick Rude inducted, but we haven’t heard too many rumours about who could be honoured in New Orleans.
With that in mind, we take a look at five Ruthless Aggression Era stars – some from the past and some who are still competing – who WWE should seriously consider for the 2018 Hall of Fame.
#1 Evolution
The WWE Hall of Fame has 164 inductees but only one two-time Hall of Famer: Ric Flair. “The Dirtiest Player In The Game” has spoken in media interviews how he hopes to one day become a three-time Hall of Famer when Evolution (himself, Triple H, Randy Orton and Batista) is inducted.
The four-man faction were only together between January 2003 and June 2004, during which time they held the World Heavyweight Championship (HHH x4, Orton x1), the World Tag Team Championships (Flair & Batista x2) and the Intercontinental Championship (Orton x1).
Their 18-month dominance on Monday Night Raw was among all four guys’ best work in WWE and helped to legitimise Orton and Batista as the undisputed future of the company.
And who knows, if “The Animal” gets his wish and returns to WWE to have a full-time programme with Triple H, perhaps they could tie in a Hall of Fame induction with the storyline.
