First WWE Hall Of Fame Inductee Announced

WWE Hall Of Fame

The first inductee to the 2010 WWE Hall of Fame has been announced. While the name is not nearly as juicy as some of the other rumored names like the Ultimate Warrior, it is an interesting name nonetheless. Japanese Pro Wrestling legend and MMA pioneer, Antonio Inoki is the first name confirmed to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on WrestleMania weekend.

Inoki is a curious name for a WWE honor. While there is no doubt that Inoki is a pro wrestling legend, his impact in the United States is quite minimal. Inoki did wrestle on sporadic WWF tours throughout the 70s and 80s in America, but never had the kind of international impact that say Mil Mascaras had or Giant Baba had on the N.W.A.

While casual fans may not be aware of Inoki’s most important WWF moment, hardcore fans have heard the tale of Inoki’s “secret” WWF world title win.
