It seems that the entire class for the Hall of Fame this year has now been announced, but there are a number of names that the WWE Universe thought would have been added to this year's class but they actually haven't.

There are a number of surprises in this year's class including Jeff Jarrett and Hillbilly Jim, these were the slots that many fans thought would be filled by some of the most iconic stars that have been overlooked throughout their careers.

There are a number of stars that the company has overlooked when it comes to putting them into the Hall of Fame, so there are a few stars whose place in this year's class should have already been confirmed but it seems that WWE has once again overlooked them.


#5 Vader

Big Van Vader made an impact in a WWE ring back in the early 1990s, but it seems that the bulk of his career has come outside of the biggest wrestling company in the world in Japan and WCW.

Vader was originally set to become World Champion but it seems that backstage politics stopped this from happening and meant that the popular star left the company after just two years in 1998. Vader's health has been the topic of conversation for the past few months as it seems that the former star has been in ill health and his future has been looking bleak over the past few years.

With the likes of Diamond Dallas Page and Sting being given slots in the Hall of Fame in recent years, it was thought that Vader would be given a place as well, but this isn't the case.

#4 Miss Elizabeth

Miss Elizabeth is one of the most iconic female performers in history which is why it's such a shock that the likes of Sunny, Beth Phoenix and Jacqueline have all been added to the Hall of Fame but the wife of 'Macho Man' Randy Savage hasn't.

Miss Elizabeth has her own struggles after she left WWE for WCW before her untimely death back in 2003. It seems that her problems after she left WWE could be one of the reasons why she hasn't been added to the Hall of Fame in recent years when there is no real reason why someone of her stature shouldn't take her place amongst the elite of wrestling.

#3 William Regal

British Wrestling has been huge over the past year with the United Kingdom Championship becoming part of the main roster over the past few months. There have also been a number of British stars added to the roster including Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate, which is why many fans thought that it could finally have been William Regal's time to shine.

Regal has never been seen as a main event star in WWE, but he was always a dependable pair of hands and someone who many of the current roster claims as one of their inspirations for lacing up their wrestling boots, to begin with.

#2 The Rock

The Rock is one of the biggest stars in the history of the company and it's incredible that he hasn't been added to the Hall of Fame yet. The likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin and Hulk Hogan have been added to the Hall of Fame over the past few years but The Rock has continued to be overlooked.

It could be the fact that The Rock is quite a busy person right now and is unable to return to WWE to be added to the Hall of Fame, much like he was unable to attend WrestleMania this year, but given that he has done so much for WWE when it comes to raising the popularity of the promotion, there should be no reason why he doesn't have a place.

#1 Chyna

Chyna broke down barriers in WWE when she first came to the company and became the first woman in The Royal Rumble match and the first woman to win The Intercontinental Championship.

Chyna sadly passed away back in April 2016 and a number of stars including Steve Austin have already mentioned that Chyna deserved to be part of the Hall of Fame but it seems that the company thought otherwise. There is only usually one woman added to the Hall of Fame each year and Ivory was the one who was chosen this year, even though Chyna was the one that many in WWE Universe thought deserved the spot.

With the Women's Revolution in full swing, this would have been the perfect time to add a trailblazer like Chyna to the Hall of Fame.
