The WWE Hall of Fame has inducted some of the most prestigious and beloved names in professional wrestling history into its hallowed halls.
This includes names like Hulk Hogan, Gene Okerlund, Paul Heyman, Andy Kaufman, The Undertaker, The Dudley Boyz, and Macho Man Randy Savage.
However, one inductee believes that an important name has been off that list for far too long.

During a recent episode of The Four Horsemen Network, professional wrestling legend Arn Anderson made the case that former Macho Man manager Miss Elizabeth should have been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame a long time ago.
“Miss Elizabeth is iconic, especially in wrestling,” Anderson said. “I mean, she is. I wasn’t aware she wasn’t in the Hall of Fame, but man, she is an icon for sure in wrestling lore and should be put in the Hall of Fame.”

More specifically, Anderson believed that Miss Elizabeth should have been inducted alongside Savage when he joined in 2015.
“When did Randy go in? What year? Oh, well, that’s one you should have agreed to disagree about. Whatever happened in their personal life, they should have been put in together. That’s how they will always be known by most fans.”
“I don’t know, I just think that when you have somebody who is so closely knit together with someone else, and they’re known as an entity together, they should have gone in together.”
Real name Elizabeth Ann Hulette, Miss Elizabeth was one of the most iconic and beloved managers of WWE’s golden era.
She first met Savage while working at a gym and the two were soon married in 1984. After he made his debut in the then-WWF in 1985, Elizabeth soon followed.
Her first major storyline came in Savage’s feud with George “The Animal” Steele. Steele is an animalistic character who develops a crush on Elizabeth. The angle proved incredibly popular and lasted for over a year.

Elizabeth stood by Savage for every victory and every defeat. However, their relationship eventually led to Savage becoming a villain.
While teaming with Hulk Hogan as The Mega Powers, Savage accused Hogan of “lusting after Elizabeth.” This resulted in the team breaking up and Hogan defeating Savage for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship.
After being separated for years in the storyline, the duo would reunite after Elizabeth defended Savage from Sensational Sherri. Eventually, the two would have an iconic wrestling wedding, which was interrupted when a gift featured a live snake from Jake “The Snake” Roberts.

Even after she and Savage divorced, Elizabeth would continue to work in wrestling. She was a part of the New World Order (nWo) alongside Hogan and Savage and featured prominently in storylines with Goldberg and Lex Luther.
Tragically, Elizabeth would die in 2003 at 42 years old due to “acute toxicity.” Still, her impressive legacy lives on to this day.
