5 Superstars who turned down the WWE Hall of Fame

The Animal has said no to being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

For many wrestlers of today, they will have grown up watching the WWE.

The biggest wrestling promotion in the world, the WWE is synonymous with the biggest names in wrestling, such as Hulk Hogan, The Rock 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, and John Cena.

So for a young aspiring wrestler to make it to the McMahon-based promotion, and earn the title of Superstar, must be a dream come true.

If being a Superstar is a dream come true, then getting inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame must be indescribable.

And yet, there have been plenty of Superstars over the years, who for one reason or another, turned down the spot in the prestigious group.

Here are five Superstars who turned down a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame, and their reasons for turning the company down.

#5: The Honky Tonk Man

One of the most iconic stars of the Hulkamania era, the Honky Tonk Man is perhaps best known for his record-setting reign as the Intercontinental Champion, holding the title for 454 days, a record still held to this day.

As one of the biggest stars of his time, it is frankly shocking that the former champion has not been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, though turned down the position in 2010.

Being contacted by WWE shortly before WrestleMania 26, Honky told Ring Post Radio that he turned the offer down, because he had already made commitments to appear at a convention.

Whilst he has also criticized the WWE over the years, a deal between the two parties has been made, and Honky will be inducted this year.
