#2 Former WWE Champion Sid Vicious

Sid Vicious won world championships in both WCW and WWE, and main-evented two editions of Wrestlemania and an edition of Starrcade. Despite such gigantic achievements, he is not yet a member of the company's Hall of Fame.

Sid was highly pushed in WWE and WCW, mostly as a heel. He was part of memorable clashes, including the iconic War Games match at WCW WrestleWar 1991.

While the multi-time world champion has gradually become infamous for certain memefied promo failures, he certainly didn't fail as a wrestler. Sid was a giant of a man capable of using powerhouse moves to perfection. While not a technical master, he often used his basic maneuvers to full effect.


#1 WWE Slammy Award winner Big Van Vader

The misuse of Vader in Vince McMahon's company is known by most fans. He faced multiple obstacles in WWE and while many had high hopes for him in the beginning, he soon became an afterthought.

One of Vader's most high-profile feuds saw him pitted against Shawn Michaels, though he was unable to capture the world title from The Heartbreak Kid.

Vader had achieved much success in NJPW and WCW before joining WWE. A legend in Japan, he wrestled sporadically until 2017, with a high-profile match against Will Ospreay helping him regain mainstream relevance.

Fans have demanded Vader's inclusion in McMahon's Hall of Fame for quite some time, and his induction seems to be a matter of not 'if' but 'when.'
