Unfortunately Yoko had more success in WWE then Vader & Bigelow. Yoko held 4 titles during his time there. So I can see him getting in. I figure Vader is a lock next time they are in "WCW" territory. As for Bam Bam I can't wait for his announcement.
Who does everything think the final name will be?

As popular and talented as Vader and BBB were, there's a strong argument that Yokozuna was the bigger star overall, not just in the WWF. Headlining Wrestlemania goes a long way when considering a wrestler's success imo. |

Yokozuna had feuds with The Undertaker, Lex Luger, Bret Hart, Vader, Shawn Michaels and even Hulk Hogan himself (back when the world still cared).
Bam Bam Bigelow was embroiled with such stars as Adam Bomb, Tatanka and a very heated feud with none othr than DOINK THE CLOWN!
Yeah, based on that I can TOTALLY see why Bam Bam should go in before Yoko.

If Madusa goes in the Hall of Fame, I'll be surprised. I'm pretty sure the heat she once had has died down, but still, when the company spends most of it's footage showing someone throwing their title in a trash can, I'd be surprised if they can forgive and forget on that one.

Yokozuna has the Anoaʻi family tie in with The Rock, which was probably a factor in him being inducted this year. For a period he did work on top and was from all accounts a good employee throughout his run. He merits a spot in the HOF given the past standard.
In other WWE/shoot type material, Bigelow has been presented as highly regarded for his role in getting the Lawrence Taylor WM match over. I think he'll be an easy future induction.
An argument can be made that Vader was a bigger draw under his own name than the other two (who didn't need the WWE machine to be successful) but his run with Vince was a disappointment. There were issues with his style being too rough and his weight/attitude being drawbacks. I'd peg him as one of the best big man workers of any era, but not a top tier WWE employee. If he goes in down the road, it will probably be as filler.

Yokozuna was huge in WWE. Big title run.

imo "Hulkamania" died at King of the Ring when Yokozuna pinned Hogan with his own atomic leg drop. For me, as a kid, that was absolutely shocking, and one of the greatest and most important moments ever for me as a fan. Like I said, death of Hulkamania. No matter what they say or what happened afterward, imo that marked the end.
