There is a usually a local tie in with the Hall of Fame class. The big event is being held in New Orleans this spring so I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if a Mid-South Legend will be in the mix for this year\u2019s class. We here at Ring Time Pro Wrestling love to speculate who could or we think should be inducted this year.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The Freebirds<\/strong><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ringtimeprowrestling.com\/?attachment_id=2083\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2083\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2083\" alt=\"Freebirds\" src=\"https:\/\/ringtimeprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Freebirds-300x206.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ringtimeprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Freebirds-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ringtimeprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Freebirds-435x300.jpg 435w, https:\/\/ringtimeprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Freebirds.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div>This one is deep to me because I felt like it should have already happened. Now it didn\u2019t happen in Texas and it did not happen in Atlanta the home of Bad Street but maybe we can make it happen in the Big Easy. The Fabulous Freebirds are one of the most innovative groups in the history of professional wrestling. They have torn it up in World Class, NWA\/WCW and in Mid-South. Led by Michael Hayes they were one of the most creative groups in the business. They are actually the originators of the Rock N Roll entrance. Never afraid to be hated the Freebirds were one of the 1st factions that the industry had seen. They created the Freebird Rule for tag teams that comprise of more than 2 members. It\u2019s time to take this to the Hall of Fame.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UVUgAnRnDM4\" height=\"315\" width=\"430\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>DX<\/strong><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ringtimeprowrestling.com\/?attachment_id=2087\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2087\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2087\" alt=\"DX reunion\" src=\"https:\/\/ringtimeprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DX-reunion-300x168.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ringtimeprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DX-reunion-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ringtimeprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DX-reunion-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/ringtimeprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/DX-reunion.jpg 642w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div>While we are on groundbreaking groups let\u2019s not forget about DX. This group was one of the key elements that pushed the WWF ahead during the Monday Night Wars. Now of course when we talk about inducting the group I am talking all incarnations of DX. The original with Shawn Michaels and Triple H and the second group with The Outlaws and X-Pac all were important to the legacy of the faction. For all of you who are asking am I leaving Chyna out? No but for certain image reasons I am sure the WWE would leave her off.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Jim Cornette and The Midnight Express<\/strong><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ringtimeprowrestling.com\/?attachment_id=2091\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2091\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2091\" alt=\"Jim Cornette and Midnight\" src=\"https:\/\/ringtimeprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Jim-Cornette-and-Midnight-300x222.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ringtimeprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Jim-Cornette-and-Midnight-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ringtimeprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Jim-Cornette-and-Midnight.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div>When I first thought of Jim Cornette\u2019s name I was thinking about him by himself. Then I asked myself how could you leave out the Midnight Express? You just can\u2019t have one without the other. Name the promotion in the 1980\u2019s and these guys were there setting it on fire. They were so hot in their feud with the Rock N Roll Express that they could even main event big shows. Jim\u2019s life time contribution to the business is amazing. Working as a manager on camera and working behind the scenes in almost every organization. He was a big part of developing the careers of a young John Cena, Batista and Randy Orton when he was running OVW.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QPVq37AG65U\" height=\"315\" width=\"420\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Jake &#8220;The Snake&#8221; Roberts<\/strong><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ringtimeprowrestling.com\/?attachment_id=2093\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2093\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2093\" alt=\"Jake roberts\" src=\"https:\/\/ringtimeprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Jake-roberts.jpg\" width=\"202\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div>There are very few men who have been as creative as Jake Roberts in the business of professional wrestling. He started his career in Louisiana and one the first places he made his name was in the Mid-South territory. One of the members of the Leigon of Doom with King Kong Bundy and the Road Warriors, Jake has always been where the action was. Star of the 1980s and 90s he was one wrestling darker personalities and better promo guys. His in ring psychology was second to none. The inventor of the DDT should definitely have a space in the Hall of Fame.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/imTkBe9BJwM\" height=\"315\" width=\"420\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Randy Savage<\/strong><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ringtimeprowrestling.com\/?attachment_id=2097\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2097\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2097\" alt=\"Randy Savage\" src=\"https:\/\/ringtimeprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Randy-Savage-300x223.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ringtimeprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Randy-Savage-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ringtimeprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Randy-Savage-403x300.jpg 403w, https:\/\/ringtimeprowrestling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Randy-Savage.jpg 704w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div>You this is the second year that I have said that Randy Savage should be in the Hall of Fame. I know I have been asking for it for the last 8 years. Every wrestling blog, magazine, podcast and TV show has brought this up and the WWE still sleeps. I am not sure if this is Vince McMahon trolling the internet or maybe somebody could not get a deal made with the family. Either way this needs to happen. I almost don\u2019t even have to give Savage a resume the wrestling fans know it all. Possibly the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time and help create the standard for the belt. He is a multiple time world champ in WCW and WWF and one half of the Mega Powers. He was one of the backbones the 1980s WWF becoming the worldwide fixture that it is today.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p7xTAnUCLek\" height=\"315\" width=\"420\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div><strong>Written By<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Keith B.
