In 2004, WWE introduced a “celebrity wing” of their Hall of Fame with the induction of baseball legend Pete Rose. At the time, Rose—who to this day has been denied a spot in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown—had made three WrestleMania appearances. While his induction was an odd choice, there was admittedly something kind of punk rock about it: “Oh, you guys don’t want him? Fine. Fuck you. We’ll take him.”

Since then, seven more celebrities have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Some of them made perfect sense (like Mr. T and Bob Uecker, who both made memorable WrestleMania appearances over the years), while others made no sense at all (like Drew Carey and Donald Trump, who, well... didn’t).

Last month, on the eve of WrestleMania 31, Triple H inducted Arnold Schwarzenegger into the WWE Hall of Fame... and we’re still scratching our heads over it. Sure, Schwarzenegger has made numerous cameos on WWE programming over the years, but so has record producer Rick Rubin. (Seriously, he’s a super fan and can usually be seen sitting in the front row behind the announcers’ table at every major PPV event.) But we’re pretty sure you won’t see Vince handing him a spot anytime soon. 

With just a little under a year until 2016's induction, here are our suggestions for next year’s Hall of Fame, along with who we think should induct them at the ceremony.

David Arquette

Inducted by: Diamond Dallas Page

When it comes to celebrity super fans of wrestling, they don’t get much more committed than Arquette. In 2000, he took a break from acting to join the WCW, eventually becoming the WCW World Heavyweight Champ for a brief stint. No shit. He had his own theme music (“We’re Not Gonna Take It” by Bif Naked) and his own finishing move (the Worm, which was essentially an elbow drop). He donated all of the money he made from WCW to the families of WWF Superstars Owen Hart and Brian Pillman (who had both recently tragically died), and Darren Drozdov (who had just become paralyzed during an in-ring accident). He then went on to make a number of appearances on the WWE brand, showing up on both their weekly shows and PPVs. He was once powerbombed through a fucking table by Randy Orton! Come on, folks! How much more proof do you need?

Muhammad Ali 

Inducted by: Mr. T

Early in his career, Ali became inspired by professional wrestler "Gorgeous" George Wagner, bringing his charismatic and flamboyant wrestling style of trash-talking to the world of boxing. By the time he appeared as guest referee at the very first WrestleMania on March 31^st, 1985, Ali was already the Greatest of All-Time. As he made his way to the ring, the crowd gave him a standing ovation. It was the only time in the history of wrestling that the celebrity of the referee eclipsed those of the face main eventers: Hulk Hogan and Mr. T.

Here’s a montage of Ali channeling that fabulous “Gorgeous” George spirit: 

Cyndi Lauper

Inducted by: The Goonies

Not only did she make an appearance at the very first WrestleMania, but she also appeared alongside classic ‘80s wrestling villains—“Rowdy” Roddy Piper, The Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff, etc.—in the 1985 video for her single “The Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough.”

But here’s what makes Lauper quite possibly the coolest person on this list. Later that same year, she also appeared in disguise (i.e. a brunette wig and sunglasses) and performed under a pseudonym (Mona Flambé) in the WWF video for “Land of a Thousand Dances.” She’s pure badassery, folks.

Liberace 

Posthumously inducted by: Bob Uecker

The ever-fabulous Liberace was the guest time-keeper at the first WrestleMania, and at the start of the show he was escorted down to the ring by the Rockettes. Now go back and read that sentence again. If that’s not enough to convince you the man deserves to be posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, we don’t know what is. Liberace possessed all of the pomp and circumstance—and then some—of the industry’s greatest legends. Here’s proof—watch above.  

Jon Stewart

Inducted by: Seth Rollins

The Daily Show’s soon-to-be ex-host only recently started making appearances on WWE shows—he appeared in the audience with his son at a PPV last year, and then made an appearance on RAW in an ongoing feud with Seth Rollins that ended up crossing over into his own show—but it’s not Stewart’s handful of cameos that make him a contender for the Hall of Fame. First, he genuinely appears to be a fan, regularly dropping offhanded comments on The Daily Show about what’s going on in the world of wrestling. His audience rarely gets the references, but that doesn’t stop him from making them. But secondly, and probably more importantly, Stewart would bring a level of cred to the industry that most people wrongly assume isn’t there. I mean, of course Larry the Cable Guy is a fan of wrestling. How could he not be? But Jon Stewart? Hmmm... not so much.

Runner-Up: Keith David

Inducted by: “Rowdy” Roddy Piper

Sure, outside of appearing alongside Piper in 1988’s They Live, David admittedly hasn’t had much to do with wrestling. But we’re still crossing our fingers for this one, if only to see David and Piper reunite... and then recreate that amazing, six-minute-long fight scene, punch-for-punch, live on television.
