The WWE did not include Bob Backlund in their list of inductees for the Hall of Fame on 3/13. He was supposed to be inducted, don't really know why he was left off. Those that will be inducted are: Greg Valentine, "Big" John Studd, "Superstar" Billy Graham, Tito Santana, Don Muraco, Sgt. Slaughter, Bobby Heenan and yes, Pete Rose.
*Despite what many will say about Pete Rose taking away any credibility that the WWE Hall of Fame had to begin with, you cannot deny the amount of pub this story has gotten. It's a Hall of Fame that is missing so many big names from Sammartino to Hogan to Bret that it can't be taken as any sort of authority when it comes to looking at the WWE's past.
