This year the WWE Hall of Fame inducted the Fabulous Freebirds. It appears like WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart thinks that there were some more deserving names that should have went in first. In a recent interview with Forbes, Bret talks about some notable omissions from the Hall of Fame.

Bret Hart mentions: Rick Rude, The Fabulous Rougeaus and Demolition as names that should be into the Hall Of Fame before the Freebirds:

“Why have they been overlooked when you can induct the Freebirds, who never did squat in WWE? Ever. Never drew any money, never did anything. When I remember the Freebirds, they were all drunk and passed out at the gate at one of the airports in my first day in WWF. None of them even made the show that day, they were too drunk to make their plane” (Source: Forbes).

On the Freebirds being inducted before Owen Hart:

“I’ve always gotten along with [Michael Hayes], but as far as their contribution to wrestling, gimme a break. They were all pill heads and, for lack of a better word, they were all screw-ups. They’re not picking the cream of the crop, they’re picking whoever the first person they see on the list and they go ‘he would be easy to fly in. If you’re going to have a Hall of Fame, you’ve got to have Owen Hart in the Hall of Fame” (Source: Forbes).

Bret’s point is more regarding the WWE Hall of Fame should be based on your accomplishments in WWE first. The Freebirds had an incredible impact on the wrestling world but in different companies.
