The WWE Hall of Fame has inducted many personalities who were in the WWE and wrestling industries and beyond. It began in 1993 with André the Giant being its sole inductee, after he passed away a few months earlier. More than 200 inductees have been added to the Hall of Fame since then, with many two-time inductees included as well.

Here are ten of the fourteen celebrities that have been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

But if someone wanted to ease into a conversation with the amiable movie stars, here’s the ticket: wrestling.
Asked how much the pair talked about wrestling when they first met on the set of Peter Farrelly’s “Ricky Stanicky,” Cena laughed. “Guilty!” the actor said. “I started it, and I always talk about it because it’s something that I love. Zac had just come off of finishing ‘The Iron Claw,’ and I’d seen pictures that got leaked, and I was very excited about what a story about the Von Erichs might look like. That’s kind of how I broke the ice with Zac. And once I start talking about sports entertainment,...

Keep in mind, this list is broken down into specific title runs, so while it was copacetic to have Hulk Hogan wave the banner during the Hulkamania era, that doesn’t mean that it was always the best move to put him at the top of the food chain.
