Former WWE superstar Shane “Hurricane” Helms has spoken out about his desire to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, suggesting that he and other smaller wrestlers are held to a different standard than their larger counterparts.
Shane Helms On The WWE Hall Of Fame Standard
In a recent post on the social media platform X, a fan told Helms, “You should be in the Hall of Fame sir.” Helms agreed with the sentiment but offered his own theory as to why it hasn’t happened yet. He believes that “little guys” like himself are not evaluated in the same way as bigger superstars when it comes to Hall of Fame consideration.
A Decorated Career For Shane Helms
This is not the first time the former Cruiserweight Champion has spoken about his legacy. In April, Helms suggested that he might only get his “flowers” after he has passed away. During his WWE career, Helms held the European Championship, the Hardcore Championship, two Tag Team Championships, and was a two-time Cruiserweight Champion, including one reign that lasted for over a year.
After his full-time in-ring career, Helms transitioned into a successful role as a backstage producer for WWE, where he worked for several years. His contributions both in front of and behind the camera have led many fans to agree with the sentiment that he is deserving of a Hall of Fame induction.
The discussion around Shane Helms’s Hall of Fame credentials highlights the ongoing debate among fans about which legends are most deserving of the honor. With a career that includes multiple championships and a memorable, fan-favorite character, many hope to see “The Hurricane” get his spot in the WWE Hall of Fame in the future.

More than likely I never will. It’s not unusual though. This biz has a bad habit of waiting to give flowers until it’s on a gravesite. 🤷🏻♂️ https://t.co/2rpxsTfuwd

I agree. But us “little guys” aren’t judged the same. 🤷🏻♂️ https://t.co/HoBjxwfVu8
