The lineup for the 2024 WWE Hall of Fame class is beginning to take shape, with wrestling icons such as Paul Heyman, Bull Nakano, and the US Express (Mike Rotunda & Barry Windham) already confirmed for induction into this year’s esteemed ceremony.
These individuals have made indelible contributions to the wrestling world, making their inclusion in the Hall of Fame well-deserved. Paul Heyman’s selection is particularly poignant, given the ceremony’s location in Philadelphia, the birthplace of ECW, a promotion Heyman played a pivotal role in shaping.
As anticipation mounts for additional announcements leading up to WrestleMania 40, fans eagerly speculate on who else might join the ranks of the 2024 class.
While the Hall of Fame traditionally inducts five or six new members, the significance of WrestleMania XL may lead to additional honors bestowed by Triple H.
With that in mind, let’s explore six more potential inductees for the 2024 WWE Hall of Fame.
6 BAM BAM BIGELOW
One glaring omission from the Hall of Fame roster is Bam Bam Bigelow, also known as ‘The Beast from the East.’
Throughout his illustrious two-decade career, Bigelow showcased a rare blend of athleticism and agility, defying the expectations placed upon big men in wrestling. From WWE to WCW, ECW, and NJPW, Bigelow left an undeniable mark on every promotion he graced.
His most memorable moment came at WrestleMania XI, where he squared off against NFL linebacker Lawrence Taylor in the main event. Following his time in WWE, Bigelow enjoyed a successful stint in ECW, capturing the promotion’s world championship in October 1997.
Given his immense impact on the industry, Bigelow’s absence from the Hall of Fame is conspicuous. Here’s hoping that 2024 finally sees him rightfully honored among wrestling’s elite.
