Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame

Die Wrestling Observer Newsletter ( WON ) Hall of Fame ist eine Ruhmeshalle des professionellen Wrestlings und Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), die Persönlichkeiten auszeichnet, die bedeutende Beiträge zu ihren jeweiligen Berufsfeldern geleistet haben. Sie wurde 1996 von Dave Meltzer , dem Herausgeber von WON, gegründet . Wie viele andere Wrestling-Hallen, beispielsweise die von WWE , TNA , ROH und WCW , befindet sich die WON Hall of Fame nicht in einem Gebäude. Es gibt keine Zeremonien für die Aufnahme, sondern lediglich eine ausführliche biografische Dokumentation ihrer Karriere im Newsletter. Zu den Geehrten zählen Wrestler/Kämpfer, Manager , Promoter , Trainer und Kommentatoren . Gelegentlich werden auch Gruppen – Tag-Teams , Trios oder Quartette – anstelle der einzelnen Mitglieder aufgenommen. Dies geschah erstmals 1996 mit den Fabulous Kangaroos und den Road Warriors . Die Fabulous Freebirds , The Midnight Express , The Rock 'n' Roll Express , The Assassins , The Holy Demon Army , The Sharpe Brothers , Los Misioneros de la Muerte und Los Brazos wurden unter anderem ebenfalls als Gruppen aufgenommen. Gelegentlich wurden auch ganze Wrestling-Familien in die Hall of Fame aufgenommen. Dies geschah erstmals 1996 mit der Dusek Family ; 2022 wurde das fünfköpfige Familienteam Los Villanos aufgenommen.

Seit 2022 können Wrestler, ähnlich wie in der Rock and Roll Hall of Fame , mehrfach in die Hall of Fame aufgenommen werden . Bisher haben fünf Personen diese doppelte Ehre erhalten: Toshiaki Kawada , Villano III , Antonino Rocca , Jack Brisco und Jackie Sato . Jeder von ihnen wurde sowohl als Einzelkämpfer als auch als Mitglied eines Teams aufgenommen (Kawada als Teil der Holy Demon Army , Villano III als Teil von Los Villanos, Rocca als Teil von Rocca and Perez, Jack Brisco als Teil der Brisco Brothers und Jackie Sato als Teil von Beauty Pair).

Meltzer gründete die Hall of Fame 1996 mit der Auswahl von 122 Gründungsmitgliedern. Seitdem wählt Meltzer regelmäßig Wrestler aus Vergangenheit und Gegenwart, andere Mitarbeiter der Wrestling-Branche, Wrestling-Journalisten und -Historiker aus, die in geheimer Wahl die jährlichen Mitglieder bestimmen. Zu den Wahlkriterien gehören die Dauer der Wrestling-Karriere, die historische Bedeutung, die Fähigkeit, Zuschauer anzuziehen, und die wrestlerischen Fähigkeiten. ^{[ 1 ]} Kandidaten müssen mindestens 15 Jahre Erfahrung im Wrestling vorweisen oder über 35 Jahre alt sein und mindestens 10 Jahre Erfahrung haben. Um in die Hall of Fame aufgenommen zu werden, benötigen sie 60 % der Stimmen aus ihrer Region. ^{[ 2 ]} Kandidaten, die weniger als 10 % der Stimmen erhalten, scheiden aus. Wird ein Kandidat innerhalb von 15 Jahren nach seiner Nominierung nicht aufgenommen, benötigt er 50 % der Stimmen, um nicht aus dem Rennen zu fallen. ^{[ 3 ]} Es gibt über 200 Mitglieder, darunter zahlreiche Teams, Trios und Stables. Seit Beginn der Abstimmung im Jahr 1998 wurden neunzehn Kandidaten im ersten Jahr ihrer Wählbarkeit aufgenommen; die jüngsten im ersten Wahlgang aufgenommenen waren Beauty Pair im Jahr 2023. ^{[ 4 ]}

Im Jahr 2008 wurde eine Abwahl durchgeführt, bei der es um die Frage ging, ob Chris Benoit , der 2003 in die Hall of Fame aufgenommen worden war und im Juni 2007 seine Frau und seinen Sohn getötet und anschließend Selbstmord begangen hatte , weiterhin in der Hall of Fame vertreten sein sollte. Für Benoits Abberufung forderte Meltzer eine Zustimmung von 60 % der Wähler. ^{[ 5 ]} Obwohl die Mehrheit für Benoits Abberufung stimmte, entfielen nur 53,6 % der Stimmen auf diese Gruppe, was die erforderliche Mehrheit nicht erreichte. Benoit bleibt weiterhin in der Liste der Mitglieder. ^{[ 6 ]}
