OK, friends and fans, it's time the first official "Dave's Impromptu Rant". These are different from the scheduled weekly rant in that it's not a planned topic but a response to something that has recently occured. What has provoked the ire of this writer ? Well, a week ago I wrote an article stating how much I enjoyed the Hall of Fame and what it did and could mean. I guess fans saying they enjoy something is WWE code for "time to lay a turd on it." I'm referring to the current inductees, of course. Obviously, Ted Dibiase is an excellent choice and beyond deserving. I can live with the nod to Antoni Inoki as an international recognition, but I  don't really care about it. "Mad Dog" Vachon was a star in his time and era, but a marginal Hall of Famer at best and definitely not someone to get excited about. Which leaves me to Wendi freakin' Richter. Really? Honestly, did she save up cereal box tops to get the HOF invite. The woman had two matches people cared about and both had more to do with Cyndi Lauper and her opponent, Moolah, than any heat she had. Honestly, the WOO WOO WOO guy from ECW could have gotten over with that kind of build up. Who's next in the HOF? Gillberg, Norman the Lunatic aka Bastien Booger, the Shockmaster, or why not just give a nod to the Ding Dongs? Okay, Richter is not as bad as those choices, but it perplexes me that she is inducted before Trish Stratus, or even Lita. I would have been better suited with putting Lauper in the celebrity wing  even. I'm hoping they salvage this train wreck, but I don't think just putting Stu Hart, while deserved, is enough to make this anything but weakest class since 2003. I do realize Honky Tonk Man and Ultimate Warrior turned them down, but still... Wendi Freakin' Richter ??? Since we are on the topic I might as throw out my five worst HOF picks, actually four because my top pick is.. you got it, Wendi Freakin' Richter.

2. Koko Ware- Honestly, I have no idea how a man who barely made PPV cards  back when everyone made the PPV card gets in the HOF. Maybe they mailed him Jake "The Snake"'s invite by mistake.

3. Tony Atlas- Granted, Atlas's career got off to great start, and being one half the first African American tag champs (with Rocky Johnson) certainly put him on the right track to the HOF. But here's the fact: Atlas washed out, by the Hogan era he had become irrelevant. Atlas didn't have the longevity of success for the HOF.

4. Bob Orton, Jr.- Orton was a very good worker, but his most prolific time in the WWF was not as a wrestler but as Roddy Piper's bodyguard. Simply put: Bob's in the Hall because of Randy's success. The WWE loves nepotism.

5. Baron Mikeal Scicluna- It's tricking evaluating a career that occured in an era before you were born, but on every account I can find, Scicluna was a star but not a HOFer.
