WWE offers much more than just money and fame. The Championships and individual wins help their value in the industry increase, even if they aren’t extremely talented.
Apart from that, every single Superstar who performs for the company dreams of getting inducted into the prestigious WWE Hall of Fame once they hang up their boots.
However, only a handful of Superstars make it to the Hall of Fame, while many are inducted after their deaths to honour their services to the company.
Many miss out even achieving a lot due to various reasons, and some may never find themselves inducted WWE Hall of Fame even after serving the company to the best of their abilities.
In the previous list, we took a look at five major Superstars who will most likely never find their way into the WWE Hall of Fame. In this article, we will look at five more top Superstars who will probably never get inducted either.
#5 Lex Luger
During the 90s, Lex Luger was one of the biggest Superstars who went on to win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship twice. Luger was signed by WWE in hopes of building him parallel to Hulk Hogan, but the Superstar wasn’t able to go over the way the company wanted him to.
During Summerslam 1993, Luger was pushed by the company to compete with Yokozuna and defeat him to win the WWE Championship. However, backstage problems, coupled with drinking problems and poor crowd reaction, did not allow the Superstar to go over the mighty Yokozuna.
Luger’s frustration forced him to leave the company and head to WCW once his contract ended without informing Vince McMahon. This proved to be his final blow to the Superstar, who was written off by the company for good.
During the 2012 WWE Hall of Fame, it was announced that Luger would not be joining the Four Horsemen during their induction become of his involvement in the tragic death of Miss Elizabeth.
This more than confirms that Luger will never find a place for himself in the WWE Hall of Fame.
#4 Sabu
If you were ever a fan of hardcore wrestling and ECW, then you’d be extremely familiar with Sabu. He was arguably the most recognizable Superstar from the promotion and did a lot to make the brand a big success.
Sabu was dubbed "The Homicidal, Suicidal, Genocidal, Death-Defying Maniac", and put his body on the line, unlike any other Superstar we’d seen before. His crazy moves were unpredictable, and each match allowed the fans to get more indulged in his character.
During his time in ECW, he won the ECW World Heavyweight Championship twice along with many other titles. However, he was unsuccessful at winning any other major title in WWE.
Sabu’s final stint with the company ended in 2007, after which he was named part of a class-action lawsuit filed against the company in 2016.
The lawsuit stated that the wrestlers incurred long term neurological injuries, and the company did not care for the health of the talent. The wrestlers also stated that WWE fraudulently misrepresented the nature of the talents’ injuries and concealed them.
Due to this reason, Sabu may never make it to the WWE Hall of Fame even though he was regarded as one of the pillars of the company during his initial tenure.
#3 Konnan
Konnan was a major player during the WCW days. He was compared to the likes of men like Hulk Hogan in Mexico and was definitely a big thing for a Superstar from Mexico during the 80s and 90s.
Konnan rose to fame when he joined the New World Order (nWo) in July 1997, after which his hip-hop based gimmick caught the attention of the fans. He was generally regarded as the faction’s “coolest” member as was nicknamed "K-Dogg."
He wasn’t just a great wrestler, but he was also played a major role in signing new Mexican talent to the WWE which eventually helped create the Cruiserweight division in the company.
While he wasn’t the biggest star on the roster during his time, he was still a big Superstar who deserves to be recognized by the company for his services.
However, Konnan’s outspoken attitude led him to openly talk about the promotions that mistreated him and took advantage of his talent, including WWE.
He was also critical of WWE releasing Alberto Del Rio and Rey Mysterio on separate occasions, and this wouldn’t have worked well with the top management of the company.
Keeping in mind that Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and Sean Waltman of the nWo will be inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2020, it seems like Konnan will never find room in the prestigious Hall Of Fame.
#2 Scott Steiner
Associating himself with WWE in as early as 1992, Scott Steiner had a few short stints with WWE on a few occasions.
Even though he became a very big name in and out of the company and was referred to as "Big Poppa Pump,” he only won the WWF Tag Team Championships twice with Rick Steiner in the company.
His last match with the company came in 2004, after which he was released in August the same year. He continued to try his hands at other promotions and got extremely successful, winning several Championships in the process.
Steiner’s association with Total Nonstop Action (TNA) wrestling, along with several problems he’s had with the company, led to him having a big fall out with WWE. He has been very critical of the company since his departure.
Steiner went as far as to threaten to kill Hulk Hogan in an airport, which forced the company to ban him from even attending the 2015 ceremony of the WWE Hall of Fame.
Even though Big Poppa Pump has denied threatening Hogan, it seems more than likely that the reasons stated above will not allow him to get inducted to the Hall of Fame.
#1 Chris Benoit
There is no denying Chris Benoit’s raw talent, sheer determination to succeed, and impact on several current Superstars.
Benoit entered the company in 2000 and partnered with several top Superstars to get over while winning several Tag Team Championships. Along with that, he won a few United States and Intercontinental Championship reigns. However, the biggest feel-good moment that the Superstar provided was by winning the World Heavyweight Championship.
His friendship and partnership with Eddie Guerrero remains one of the best of all time and gives fans hope of constantly seeing Superstars having a good time together inside and outside the ring.
Benoit was widely known as one of the best high-impact technical performers, but his outrageous double-murder suicide led to the entire industry and wrestling world falling in complete shock.
Even though Kurt Angle stated that "he has to got to be in the top three of all time," there is no doubt that the company will forever stay away from the Superstar and his achievements in the ring.
There is no doubt in our mind that even a miracle will not allow Chris Benoit to be inducted into the company’s Hall of Fame.
