We are now just 284 days away from WrestleMania 32, which means we’re 283 days away from WWE’s Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony the night before. Seems like an appropriate time to start talking about which wrestlers should make their way into the Hall of Fame in 2016, right?

I mean, sure, it’s still nine and a half months out, but if you break down that time it’s only 407,520 minutes away. That’s only 24.4 million seconds, and we all know how quickly a second passes. There goes on right now! There goes another one!

Anyway, last year’s inductees ranged from the ridiculous (Arnold Schwarzenegger) to the right-on (“Macho Man” Randy Savage), so to avoid some of the former and add more of the latter, we’ve decided to offer up six suggestions of who we think should be walking across that stage in just 6,792 hours. Dig it!

BRUTUS “THE BARBER” BEEFCAKE
Real Name: Ed Leslie

Beefcake was always a childhood favorite. Back in the day, no one was cooler than Brutus. He wore a bowtie without shirt, long gloves without fingers, and spandex pants without sides!

As if all that weren’t enough to blow our little 12-year-old minds, he would cut the hair of his defeated opponents with a pair of garden shears. In the Eighties, it didn’t get much cooler than that.

Leslie was nearly killed in a parasailing accident in 1990; his facial skeleton was crushed, and he required nearly 100 metal plates to rebuild his face. He didn’t wrestle for two years after that, but that didn’t keep him out of the ring. In 1991, he started running down to the ring and head-butting people while wearing a facemask; the facemask wasn’t a gimmick, but essentially a protective cast.

To be read: He was a fucking badass, and for that, he’s owed a spot.

THE CRUSHER
Real Name: Reginald Lisowski

Wrestling’s original beer guzzling bad boy character was born in Milwaukee in 1926. When he wasn’t busy holding down real jobs—including meatpacking and bricklaying—Lisowski would drive down to Chicago three or four times a week to wrestle at a local armory for $5 a night.

Lisowski’s commitment to wrestling eventually led him to stints in the NWA, AWA, WWA, and finally in the WWF. His last match came on February 15, 1988 at the age of 61, when he teamed up with Ken Patera to take on Demolition. Holy shit!

Legend has it that the Crusher got his name by crushing beer cans on his head; and we’re not talking about today’s paper-thin aluminum cans, but those thick-as-hell tin cans of old. Yes, it’s safe to say that the Crusher set the tone for characters like Stone Cold Steve Austin years later. And for that, he should be inducted.

HILLBILLY JIM
Real Name: Jim Morris

The cartoon Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling ran for two seasons—from 1985 to 1986—and featured a cast of sixteen WWF characters: Hulk Hogan; Junkyard Dog; Captain Lou Albano; André the Giant; Wendi Richter; Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka; Hillbilly Jim; Tito Santana; Roddy Piper; The Iron Sheik; Nikolai Volkoff; The Fabulous Moolah; Big John Studd; Mr. Fuji; Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, and "Mean" Gene Okerlund.

Of those 16 characters, 15 of them are already inducted into the Hall of Fame. One of them is not: Hillbilly Jim. What’s wrong with this picture?

Also, what’s wrong with this picture?

THE HONKY TONK MAN
Real Name: Roy Farris

Easily one of the best heels to come out of the Eighties, Honky Tonk Man turned the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll into a villainous impersonator.

Roy got his start in 1977 when he joined Memphis Wrestling alongside his cousin, Jerry “The King” Lawler. After a decade of stints in other circuits—including AWA, WWC, and Southeastern Championship Wrestling, among others—Farris made his WWF debut in 1986 under the ring name he would forever be remembered by.

One year later, he defeated Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat to win the Intercontinental Championship, which he would hold onto for 454 days—the longest uninterrupted reign in WWE history—before losing it to Ultimate Warrior at SummerSlam in 1988.

Whether he was bashing his guitar over the heads of his opponents, or Shake, Rattle and Rolling them in the ring, Honky Tonk Man was the heel every fan loved to hate.

For that, he’s long overdue.

“RAVISHING” RICK RUDE
Real Name: Rick Rood

If Rick—who died in 1999 at the age of 40—were alive today, he’d say this: “Cut the music, cut the music! What I'd like to have now is for all you fat, out-of-shape, Alabama sweat-hogs keep the noise down while I take off my robe, show the ladies what a real man is suppose to look like, and take my spot in the WWE Hall of Fame between Randy Savage and Razor Ramon. Hit the music!”

Well put, Rick. Well put, indeed.

OWEN HART

The WWE Hall of Fame was born out of tragedy: it was created in March 1993, two months after the death of André the Giant, who would become the Hall’s first inductee.

Wrestling is rife with tragedies—from Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit, to Miss Elizabeth and Darren Drozdov—but Owen Hart’s death in the ring, live in the middle of a pay-per-view (Over The Edge), may just be the darkest moment in the company’s history.

That said, Owen is owed this honor not only because of the way he died, but also because of the way he performed in the ring, and the way he lived outside of it. Not to mention the fact that he’s also a member of a family that’s regarded as wrestling royalty.

It’s time, WWE. For real.
