In early February 1993, the WWE (then known as the WWF) decided to create a new subsidiary to their already existing organization; thus, the WWE hall of fame was born. This was a direct result of the recent passing of Andre the Giant. His passing was the key reason for the creation of this hallowed hall. During the years of '94, '95 and '96, there would be many more inductees included into the hall of fame. This event would remain dormant until its revival in 2004. It is the 2004 induction ceremony that is the main focus of this DVD. That year, there were 11 individuals recognized for their outstanding contributions to the sport of professional wrestling. Some of the most important names within the industry. Don Muraco, former intercontinental champion called 'The Magnificent One'; Gerg 'The Hammer' Valentine, former intercontinental champion and tag team champion and son of Johnny Valentine; Harley Race, a previous 8-time NWA world heavyweight champion; Jesse 'The Body' Ventura, former commentator turned Governor; Sgt. Slaughter, a former WWE champion; 'Superstar' Billy Graham, another former WWE champion; Tito Santana, former tag team and intercontinental champion; Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan, a previous color commentator and legendary manager of champions, celebrity inductee, baseball great Pete Rose; plus Big John Studd and Junkyard Dog, who were both inducted posthumously (Studd passed away in 1995, JYD in 1998). It is a real pleasure to see these great men given the honor of beibg recognized for their body of work. In a way, thy set the standard for what the WWE has become today: sports entertainment.Read full review
