Why isn’t Muhammad Ali in the WWE HOF?

[Chrome2279]

Why isn’t he in the WWE Hall of Fame yet? He’s the main celebrity I would back 100% that deserves it.

The tradition of tying in boxing and wrestling has been a long one. Muhammad Ali was a huge part of that stemming from his match against Antonio Inoki, confrontations with Gorilla Monsoon and other assorted appearances while he was the Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the World. After he retired, Ali was the special referee at the original Wrestlemania, and even in his weakened state has still been a friend to the business as evidenced by his appearance at Collision in Korea and Halloween Havoc 1994. Ali lived up to his moniker as the greatest and for a man who has earned so much respect in the sports world he has shown it back to the wrestling. It is difficult to put any other celebrity above him.

The goat

You know that's a good question. Of all the celebs they have you'd think they'd want him in for the publicity pieces. Ali is in their opening and they've shown the clip of him waving as a ref and the Monsoon airplane spin thousands of times.

Even posthumously I’d be up for it.

Always down to celebrate the greatness of the greatest in Ali

One of the few celebrities that definitely deserves to be in.

A bit off topic but I've always been proud to say that I shared the same birthday as the GOAT Muhammad Ali.

Beautiful!!!!!!!
he would have smiled if he met you and you revealed it..
i met him 4 times..in 1978, 1982, 1990 and i think sometime around 1975 but i was super young.

Grown ass “men” debating who gets in a play fighting HOF

 

[Norrin Radd]

I can't imagine he won't, eventually.

Couldn’t give a speech by the time Hall of Fame became a big deal

 

[El Guapo]

Man, he's too good for that. You really want him associated with a Hall of Fame that has people like Drew Carey, the Bushwackers, Sunny, etc. Also a ceremony where we saw one of their inductees get attacked last year. Also a Hall of Fame where neckbeard crowds be booing and cussing at the popular wrestler at the moment (Cena, Reigns). He's the GOAT. He don't need that WWE name to him.
