Last year, we at Lordsofpain.net continued a new annual special happening for our readers with the second class of the LOP Hall of Fame. With a strong voter turnout in 2013 and 2014, we are pleased to announce that, during the last week of March, we will be unveiling the third induction class into the LOP Hall of Fame The LOP Hall of Fame consists of professional wrestlers and professional wrestling matches that you, the readers of LOP, nominate and vote on. From March 23rd until March 29th, special “induction” columns dedicated to each inductee will be posted as part of our “LOP Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony,” a week-long celebration of wrestling’s past. We would like you to nominate Two singles wrestlers, one Tag Team or Faction, a Manager or Other Personality, a Female wrestler, and Two Wrestling Matches. The Nomination period will begin Monday, February 16 and last one week, through Sunday, February 22. At that time, nominations will be compiled and an official “Hall of Fame” ballot will be put together for readers to vote. Eligibility Requirements 1) A singles nominee must be at least 3 years removed from his final singles match. Note that we will round up for someone who is on the cusp of the 3 year cutoff. 2) The above cut off applies only to a major promotion. For the purposes of this Hall of Fame, TNA/Impact Wrestling will NOT be considered at this time. Suggested promotions to choose from include WWE, WCW- NWA (all major regions), AWA, and ECW (for its influence and popularity). You may also nominate someone from an international promotion such as New Japan or AAA. 3) Matches nominated must be from at least 5 years ago to allow for thorough and proper historical perspective to be gained and the test of time to be passed. **Note that these matches can include active superstars** 4) Wrestlers in factions or tag teams will be considered separate from their singles nominations, so if you want to nominate Edge and Christian, for instance, then go right ahead, as even though Christian is not eligible for singles induction, E&C has been defunct for over a decade. We would like you to nominate, preferably below in the comments section, in the following format: 1) A Wrestler of Your Choosing 2) A Wrestler of Your Choosing 3) A Tag Team or Faction 4) A Manager or Personality 5) A Female Wrestler 1) A Match of Your Choosing 2) A Match of Your Choosing Thank you and we look forward to your participation in continuing to make this a great yearly tradition. On behalf of Lordsofpain.net, -The Doc (Note - If there are any questions, feel free to leave it in the comments. I will check periodically) 2013 Class Ric Flair Steve Austin Bobby Heenan The Four Horsemen Trish Stratus Steamboat vs. Savage from Mania 3 Austin vs. Hart from Mania 13 2014 Class Hulk Hogan Randy Savage Vince McMahon The New World Order The Fabulous Moolah HBK vs. Undertaker from Mania 25 Hogan vs. Andre from Mania III
