10 Things That WWE Doesn't Want Us To Know About This Year's Hall Of Famers by Zeusd3(m): 2:03am On Jul 24, 2015
Hall of Fame is quite arguably the biggest achievement that a wrestler could get in his life. Over the year’s WWEhave appreciated the efforts of their employees with a grand induction into the Hall of Fame on the night prior to WrestleMania. And this year, Lita, Mr.T, Jake “The Snake” Roberts, Paul Bearer, Carlos Colon, Razor Ramon and The Ultimate Warrior were the deserving one to be inducted. Though all these names had a great legendary career, there are certain things which remain asblack marks in some of their careers. So as we are celebrating the glorious career of these superstars here is a one final look at the dark times that they went through just to realize that what they went through to get here.

#10 Carlos Colon was allegedly involved with the murder of Bruiser BrodyBruiser Brody was considered as the best brawler back in the territory days and his career came to a disastrous end when fellow wrestler and booker Jose Gonzalez stabbed him to death in the locker room while being in Puerto Rico for a show.There were reports that Gonzalez actually murdered Brody but the court ruled it was only for self-defense. The change from murder to self-defense wasreportedly because of the influence of Carlos Colon.He was accused of removing the evidence and threatening the witnesses to protect Gonzalez, who later went on to become a top star in Puerto Rico and was left unpunished.

#9 Mr. T was the body guardof Muhammad Ali, Michael Johnson and prostitutes

Before getting main stream attention thanks to his role in the A-Team, Mr. T used to work as a bouncer. He adopted the name himself and was also considered as a big name when it came to body guarding.He had many clients under him for whom he worked for almost $3,000 per day. His client lists included the lights of big names like Muhammad Ali, Steve McQueen, Leon Spinks and Michael Jackson. Though these are names everyone can be proud off, his early career had some strange clients.Mr.T worked as body guard for almost sixteen different prostitutes in his careerbefore making it big. And that’s a details that WWE might not want us to know.


#8 Razor Ramon was just 4 years from two decade long career of Scott Hall

WWE inducting Scott Hall into the hall of fame isn’t a surprise. He was an integral part in some of the historic moments in pro wrestling and deserves to be in the place.But instead of that WWE decided to induct that character which only ran 4 years of his two decade long career. inspired from Al Pacino’s character in Scarface, Razor Ramon was well received by the fans and saw a great main event push.After four years, Hall left for WCW and wrestled under his real name. He was part of the NWo storyline and had stints in ECW and TNA as well. WWE not mentioning his NWo days was a clear surprise but having his real name in the ring will be considered as an effort to make up for the errors.

#7 Paul Bearer rose alive after being buried in concrete

Kayfabe deaths and similar angles aren’t anything rare when it comes to WWE. And Bearer being the close associate of Undertaker was bound to see such things in his career.And one incident which put WWE in the centre stage of controversy was WWE making Paul Bearer suffocate in concrete. Undertaker was feuding with Paul Heyman during that time and Heyman booked Taker against the Dudleys. Heyman demanded Taker to lose the match or see Bearer get buried in concrete.Taker went on to win the match and Bearer was seen buried and suffocating as the pay-per-view went off air. It was a weird angle and WWE were criticized for showing simulated murder.

#6 The Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior

WWE is known for producing some quality DVD’s which makes us realize how great it is to be a Wrestling fan. Andwhen it comes to them making DVD’s based on a particular superstar it was bound to call out every great achievement that he has gone through his career.But in the case of Ultimate Warrior it wasn’t the case. WWE produced a DVD named the Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior which literally ridiculedhim.Warrior was shown as a bad professional throughout the DVD and it was reported to be because of the strained relationship between him and Vince McMahon. Whatever, it might be who ever saw that DVD might’ve not imagined about a hall of fame induction like this.

#5 Carlos Colon never madeit big in WWE

Carlos Colon’s induction to the hall of fame only goes down as the latest sign that WWE is turning into a business firm rather than a wrestling promotion.The only big moment that Colon had in WWE was is appearance in the 1993 Royal Rumble. His son Carlito went on tohave bigger moments in the company tobe precise. Colon was a big star in Puerto Rico but wasn’t worthy of the Hallof fame thanks to minimal contributions to WWE.It was reported that the induction comesas part of WWE’s efforts to expand their network and saw Colon as an easy way to tap into the market. Feats like these only degrade the hall of fame and maybe Vince Should rethink about the actual purpose of the whole thing.

#4 Ultimate Warrior’s queering speech

Homosexuality is a sensitive topic around the world. And in professional wrestling it has swirled up many controversies as well.From homosexual angles to cheap shots, WWE superstars have done it all. And Ultimate Warrior in particular said something which made the whole gay community against him. The Warrior went on a public speaking career after Wrestling and once during a speech at University of Connecticut where he remarked “queering doesn't make the world work"It went on to give an explanation for the comment in his website and said that what he meant was the human race would die up if everyone was homosexual. Despite his explanation Warrior attracted some bad attention.

#3 Scott Hall murdering a guy


Hall is a very controversial figure when it comes to WWE. He had a tough personal life which saw him suffer abuse from a very young age.He later went on to become a security ata strip club where he shot a guy and killed him after getting into a scuffle. This fact haunted him throughout his career and Hall had some severe substance abuse to stay away from the truths.After years and years of fighting with hisown demons, Hall was at the edge of losing his own life before being saved byfellow wrestler DDP, his story remains inspirational despite the dark secrets and he deserves the hall of fame for therecovery he made.

#2 Jake Robert’s molestationof his snake

Roberts is one of the darkest figures in professional wrestling. He was a great performer and had lots of charisma that could’ve taken him to places if it wasn’t for his substance addictions.He had a strained relationship with his father and his daughter thanks to his substance abuse and he was also struggling to perform with it. The lowest point of his career came in the Heroes of Wrestling pay-per-view in 1999.Jake Roberts was supposed to face Jim Neidhart on the match and was also scheduled to cut a promo before that. But he showed up in an intoxicated stateand wasn’t in any condition to do anything. He couldn’t even speak sense fully.He was seen walking around the arena interacting with fans before pulling out the his snake and putting it between his legs and stroking it. Roberts also collapsed later in the ring with the snakeover his body and even tried to kiss it with his tongue.


#1 Lita’s live sex celebration


Everything that we saw in the list till nowmight be something that we see on a regular basis in the wrestling world, but for a woman, having implied sex on live television was simply pushing the envelope too much.The real life situation of Matt Hardy, Litaand Edge was converted into a storyline by WWE. Lita cheated on Matt and had arelationship with Edge. The relationship went on to become a hot deal in the WWE and was capped off with a live sex celebration.Lita thus instead of being known for revolutionizing the divas division had a disgraceful mark in her career that no one wanted to remember.It was Attitude Era on fire but it was wayoff the limits to be precise.
