Batista already said he would like to be in The WWE Hall Of Fame. When WWE originally asked him, he turned it down because of the Covid pandemic. And then there’s the Hollywood part too. He said if there was crowds again, he’d accept the invitation. Also, he turned down this year because he didn’t want to be on the card with The Undertaker and take any of his spotlight because The Undertaker deserved it all

As pointed out in the video, Lex won’t get a spot due to Miss Elizabeth’s death. Sid won’t get a spot due to the Arn Anderson altercation. As a huge WCW fan growing up, it would be amazing to have Nancy Benoit inducted. Most of my memories of Ric Flair in WCW, he had women by his side. She was manager to many more. She stepped away from wrestling when Chris joined WWE to help raise their kid. Her family have mentioned that they would like to have a spot in the HOF. Vince should make it happen

Owen wife not wanting him in the HOF is understandable she lost her husband and her children lost a father. His family will feel his loss for decades to come. However, I’m confused why he’s in a list of people snubbed by WWE?

Christian will definitely be inducted eventually without a shadow of a doubt! Ability wise, on the mic and in the ring, he's one of the greatest talents ever! He's done so much on all the possible levels for so many years in the WWE alone! So when you add in his phenomenal era in TNA and his work now in AEW he gained being called a Hall of Famer three times over! It is better though that it is delayed since he's still going strong. Being a hall of famer who is still active always reminds people that it's nearly done and he might not want that. He could still go for many years and I hope he does!

Or John Cena winning one or two more world titles to tie or pass Ric Flair. Then there’s the situation with WWE also ruining The Fiend into his Bray Wyatt persona, is another reason why WWE Doesn’t look at the bigger picture. If WWE wants to capture fans more they should create more meaningful ideas, instead of making things repetitive. Do people want to see something new and something that we’ve never seen before.

Christian Cage as a heel in AEW now is still doing great work. I hope he gets a big push on top and wins the AEW title to cement his legacy even more there. And he definitely deserves it.

I agree. Big Show, Kane and C.M. Punk are the only three who ever held the ECW, WWE and World Hewvyweight championships, and Christian deserves that for sure as well. WWE is the only championship he is missing from that list, and it’s a real shame that was kept from him.

Chyna should be in , she was an icon of the attitude Era, whenever I think of that time in my life , she is one of the people I remember, the last few years of her life was sad, and she was never treated like the legend she was, the WWF machine just used her and spit her out

A much better presentation than the last video, except for the repetition near the end. Nice work.

Was asked to compare the two. At which point she stated she enjoyed her time in WWE more than TNA. She retired from full time wrestling, and just did random appearances for independent promotions. Up until a few years ago, and now she just does convention appearances. She must be on good terms now. Cause, she was seen in the wrestler section. At both Molly and Torrie’s HOF inductions. Along with Christy Hemme. But, with her recent surprise appearance at Impact, recently. It’s hard to tell.

Lugar's story is sad because his later in life drug habits had an impact on Miss Elizabeth's eventual OD. I mean he didn't force her but his influence might have killed her early. That being said he probably still deserves the nod. The big one that is even sadder is Chris Benoit. I don't know man, part of me thinks just put him in but make the ceremony a benefit to mental health and his remaining family like his now living son. You could even argue it was his in ring injuries to his head that lead to his tragedy. Lastly Sid and Chyna so need to be in this. Sid was so Awesome and Chyna is a no brainer. Make it happen WWE.

While not an in ring competitor, Miss Elizabeth is a huge WWE Hall of Fame snub. By the way, interesting timing in releasing this video today. Today, July 16, is the birthday of the greatest snub in the history of the MLB Hall of Fame: Shoeless Joe Jackson was born on this day in 1887.

Cities lived for their teams and it was such a stain on the game. The whole kid saying “say it ain’t so joe” is referring to a kid saying that verbatim to shoeless joe Jackson after the news got out and all he could do was hang his head in shame. There have been players banned from cooperstown for way less.

@shivathedemonkiller964 yes. The worst thing that ever happened to The WWE was when they became a publicly traded company. They stopped taking risks, became boring and trite. Chris Benoit was undeniably a phenomenal wrestler and even his son wants to follow in the footsteps of his career. Forgiveness is a beautiful thing and it is better to focus on the good in people rather than on the evil. "Before you speak of the splinter within your neighbors eye, remove the plank from thine own eye." What Chris did was terrible but they were not the actions of a man who was sane. He was not a "monster" but a sick man who was denied the treatment he obviously needed by a company that to this day refuses to accept responsibility for their complicity in his actions. They owe it to the memories of his wife (who also deserves induction) his son and him to not only recognize his greatness but also his sickness. Ignoring him and erasing him only shows how pathetic and greedy The WWE has become. Hopefully when Vince truly steps away, whoever takes over will rectify this.
