Mr. Kennedy
CM Punk
Booker T
X-Pac
Chavo Guerrero
Bubba Ray Dudley
D-Von Dudley

Get 'em on that list.

Dusty Rhodes and Harley Race can go on as well.

 

[GotSpin]

Why Chavo? He's nothing special IMO.

 

[33/3from3.3]

I like him, it says entertainment is the key in the first post. Chavo vs Rey at SS was pretty entertaining.

I think there's two wrestlers who aren't gonna get any nominations here, but who really deserve it - Trish Stratus and Lita. Granted, they weren't the first women ever to step into the ring and perform well, but the Attitude Era never would have taken off like it did without those two around. So I hereby nominate:

Trish Stratus
Lita

 

[pinchy81]

second trish nominate Sunny

 

[Barney Rubble]

second trish nominate Sunny

She never actually did much wrestling though, did she? She never won a women's championship. Despite her impact on women's wrestling, I'm discounting her from the running on the grounds that if we include her, we might as well include Jim Ross or Jimmy Hart.

That's the first 50. There are 14 places left, unless anyone wants to expand it beyond that to 96 and have some Triple Threat Matches in the first round.

 

[33/3from3.3]

Lita - seconded. Would tap that to be honest.
Someone second Mysterio....

Yoshihiro Tajiri
Finlay
William Regal
Jerry Lawler
Masato Tanaka

Juventud Guerrera (was a gun in WCW)

[Barney Rubble]

Lita - seconded. Would tap that to be honest.
Someone second Mysterio....

I seconded him for you. He's too good not to be in there.

What's the verdict on expanding this or not? Is 96 too many? Personally I think 64 will work fine, as long as the last 12 people that go in from now on are fairly respectable and there's no-one left out who should go in.

EDIT: Would like to suggest William Regal, Dave Finlay, Ron Simmons, Junkyard Dog, Road Dogg, Christopher Daniels, Scott Steiner and Samoa Joe as possible candidates for nomination, too.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Lita - seconded. Would tap that to be honest.

Too bad she'd never go near you.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Ken Shamrock
Samoa Joe
AJ Styles
Taz

Seconded.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Seconded.

Added. 8 places left, I believe.

 

[headhunter]

Nominate Finlay for the sake of it.
