Being included in World Wrestling Entertainment’s Hall of Fame is one of the greatest honors one can achieve in the world of Professional Wrestling. While the legitimacy and seriousness of induction into the Hall of Fame has been debated by many, there is no denying the magnitude of being known as a WWE Hall of Famer.
While the chances of being inducted are slim, the chances of being a female and inducted are even slimmer. While there are routinely six (or more) inductees in any given year, the Hall of Fame classes are generally male-dominated and sometimes the women are completely overlooked.
While Lita, Trish Stratus, Sunny, Johnnie Mae Young, Wendi Richter, “Sensational” Sherri Martel, and “The Fabulous” Moolah most definitely deserve recognition and acclaim for their contributions, there are plenty of women who also deserve their due.
Some should have been inducted before the likes of Sunny,...
