Sable

Sable only won the WWE Women’s Championship once in her career, but her legacy in professional wrestling transcends titles and silverware. She was a cultural icon during WWE’s peak popularity and held a high degree of importance to the company in the 90’s. The history of WWE cannot be written without including Sable, which makes her a prime candidate for the Hall of Fame.

It’s actually shocking that she hasn’t been inducted yet. WWE don’t only look at matches or championships when choosing their inductees, as Vince McMahon takes a more holistic look at a wrestler’s legacy. And Sable helped Vince’s product become much more popular than it would have been without her. Sable was a pop culture icon not far from the level of Stone Cold Steve Austin, even though she doesn’t quite get the same recognition for her popularity from the fans, who simply don’t want to admit how much she’s influenced wrestling in the mainstream.

Bam Bam Bigelow

It’s also a surprise to see that Bam Bam Bigelow hasn’t been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame yet. He’s one of the most athletic big men in wrestling history, once winning the ECW World Heavyweight Championship before moving onto WCW later in his career.

Bigelow had two stints with the WWF, but Vince McMahon didn’t take the best advantage of Bigelow’s unique gifts in the ring. Still, wrestling fans understand how good of a performer Bigelow was at his peak, so it’s high time he received his due.
