I don't remember if it's already been suggested, but you MUST induct HBK & God vs the McMahons someday. Seriously. The worst thing is that despite being about religion, it's not even really offensive, but it's still incredibly bad.

..but it's time to get this thread back on track. So, with that said, how about that Mr. Bob Backlund? The only way I would ever induct Mr. Bob Backlund would be if I went insane. That's one of my favorite characters of all time. RD Mine, too. That's why I would be so excited to see it inducted.

Tatanka: Nefarious Heel version 2.0: During his not-so-triumphant comeback in 2006, Tatanka set out to reclaim what had been taken from his people by the white man. Land, you say? No, silly! He was talking about SMACKDOWN.

"Desperado" Joe Gomez: In an attempt to capitalize on the momentum off the Robert Rodriguez/Antonio Banderas movie, WCW trots out a vaguely Mexican wrestler with long, straight black hair and black pants.
Here he is from 1997. He'd dropped the "Desperado" name and ends up doing the JOB to Hugh Morrus.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: "I Like to Hurt People." That movie is an absolute train wreck. Yes, the "Stop the Sheik" storyline still holds up after all of these years. And yes, the "performances" by the likes of Dusty Rhodes, the Funks, and the Grand Wizard were (and still are) very, very awesome. Problem is, the movie isn't just about that story. It's also about a fat woman trying to wrestle men, Andre the Giant winning a battle royale, a psychologist trying to prove that wrestling doesn't make men bloodthirsty maniacs, Luke Graham breaking kayfabe repeatedly, and some loser on a (thoroughly scripted) mission to quite literally "stop the Sheik." Oh yeah... and the movie doesn't even have an ending. At the end of the film, we (the audience) see The Sheik and The Grand Wizard in the back of a limo. The Grand Wizard, who had already declared The Sheik to be unbeatable, announces an "open challenge" cage match for the United States title, with Muhammad Ali as the guest ref. If said challenger can beat The Sheik, he gets the title and, if I remember correctly, a pile of money. If the challenger loses, The Sheik will be declared "unbeatable" by the NWA and the US title will be retired. The Grand Wizard is then cut off mid-sentence by... the credits. That's it. No afterword, no clips of the match. The Grand Wizard doesn't even get to finish his promo. Nothing says "payoff" like a cliffhanger that never gets resolved. (After doing a little bit of research, I found that the cage match did actually happen, although I have no idea of Ali was involved. The Sheik was beaten by long time nemesis Bobo Brazil.) The movie is held together by "I Like to Hurt People," a ten minute "song" about... um... liking to hurt people. The chorus features the line "I like to hurt people/And send them cryin' home to mama." And to top it all off, it was directed by Donald G. Jackson, the man who brought us "Hell Comes to Frogtown." In fact, here's a clip that I just found on YouTube: Other suggestions: ECW "Guilty As Charged" 2001 - Penis jokes! A nonsensical squash to start the show! Roadkill wins a title! Penis jokes! A ladder match which features a ladder so large that the stage crew guys in back have to raise the belt up mid-match! Penis jokes! In all seriousness, this wasn't one of ECW's better efforts. The Juice Bar - I know you guys don't normally cover Indy promotions, but this really deserves to be looked at. For those unaware, the Juice Bar is Juventud Guerrera's one-time only "talk show" segment from XPW. It's... um... something. The link's below. (Warning: Language, sexual themes, and first-degree assault on the word "juice.") www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5T_CmH_hHY

non-wrestling induction The horrible TV show The Mullets I thought I had removed that show from my memory. The best part of the debut show (which pre-empted the last half-hour of Smackdown and was probably the only time the show was watched by anyone other that family members of the cast and crew) was that the whole show revolved around the Mullets quest to leave a snooty dinner party so they could make it in time to see Wrestlemania. Oh, and the main event of Wrestlemania: The Dudley Boyz vs. La Resistance.

TNA mascot Stomper the kangeroo I'm pretty sure it's already been inducted, alongside Wild Cat Willie and other mascots.

The World's Largest Love Machine Viscera - it may have been over at some point, but this gimmick led to some ridiculous storylines.
Palmer Cannon: Network Executive - he was responsible for the Juniors Division. You could kill two birds with one stone if you induct this.
Stone Cold Shark Boy - never was funny, just utterly stupid
