Report: WWE Will Induct Torrie Wilson Into Hall Of Fame

The WWE Hall of Fame class for 2019 will feature D-Generation X, which includes Chyna, and The Honky Tonk Man, and a recent report states that Torrie Wilson and Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake will join them.

Last year’s loaded WWE Hall of Fame class featured several fan favorites in Mark Henry, Ivory, Goldberg, Jeff Jarrett, and The Dudley Boyz, and the 2019 class will hopefully make just as much of an impact.

Last month, WWE announced that D-Generation X – Chyna, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Billy Gunn, and Sean Waltman – will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this year, and it’s been a long-time coming for both Chyna and “X-Pac”. WWE also announced that The Honky Tonk Man will enter the Hall of Fame this year, which was news first broken by WrestleVotes on Twitter.

WrestleVotes has also reported that Taz and the Hart Foundation will join this year’s class

Now, WrestleVotes reports that Torrie Wilson and Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake will join this year’s Hall of Fame class:

This is exciting news, as both wrestlers are legends of the business, and it’s always especially exciting to see another woman inducted into the HOF. Wrestlers like Torrie Wilson helped pave the way for the women of today, setting the table for the Women’s Evolution in WWE after slowly working towards progress, even when they were forced into degrading storylines or matches.

Wilson appeared at the 25th Anniversary of Raw last year and competed in both the first Women’s Royal Rumble match and the Battle Royal at Evolution, which was WWE’s first all-women’s Pay Per View.

That shows Wilson has still been involved in important moments in WWE, and it’s only fitting for them to honor her with a Hall of Fame induction after giving her some (all too brief) shine at the 25th Anniversary of Raw in 2018. Wilson competed in WCW in 1999 and 2000 before joining WWE, where she was a mainstream crossover star and wrestled full-time for the company from 2001 to 2008.

It would be awesome to see Wilson in the Hall of Fame, and it would be interesting to listen to the wisdom she imparts at her speech, especially since she’s done so much outside of wrestling since 2008 (though, again, she has appeared on WWE programming several times as a legend). Furthermore, I wonder who would induct Wilson, as it’s always cool to hear what peers have to say about a wrestler heading into the Hall of Fame.
