WWE is considering inducting NWA Hall of Famer and former WWWF United States Champion Ray "The Crippler" Stevens in the WWE Hall of Fame in 2015 as a "local legend" having been a the biggest draw next to Hulk Hogan in the Bay Area. 

There has also been talk of former wrestler and pro football player Leo Nomellini but WWE owns no footage of him and he has no tie to them but WWE has plenty of Stevens footage.

Stevens died from a heart attack on May, 3 1996 aged 60. Long-time AWA champion Nick Bockwinkel considers Ray Stevens to be the greatest wrestler of all-time.
