Was Stan Hanson ?

Question

was Stan Hanson ever in the WWE? if so do you think he should go into the WWE HOF sometime within the next few years?

Answer 1

Hansen was never in the WWF/E.  

EDIT: He wrestled in the World Wide Wrestling Federation in the late 1970s, and achieved his first amount of infamy there by breaking Bruno Sammartino's neck; it was from this incident that both Hansen and promoters claimed enormous power for his Lariat move, although what had caused Bruno's broken neck was actually a botched bodyslam.

He is best known for his stiffness, which he attributes to poor eyesight, as he is nearly blind without glasses; as a result, in order to avoid his work from appearing too fake, he overcompensated with stiff strikes.

Bah! Sry, just looked it up in Wikopedia.  He did wrestle in WWWF.

Answer 2

Stan "The Lariat" Hansen was never in the WWE.  Just the AWA, Japan Pro Wrestling, the NWA/WCW.  He only appeared at one WWF event back in the early 80's as a stand in when WWF and Japan Pro Wrestling had a dual event together.

Answer 3

Stan Hansen was not.  He was in WCW though.  Man, what a wrestler.  His vision's bad, so instead of retiring, he just hits people harder, just in case he misses his mark and it looks fake...awesome haha.

I think Stan's HOF worthy, but I question if he'd go.  To my knowledge, he's not even retired yet.  Last I saw him, he was still stiffing people in Japan with that awesome LARIATOOOOOOOO!, and retirement seems to be a necessity for the HoF.  I also don't think he'd be that interested in being inducted into the WWE's Hall of Fame.

Answer 4

Yes, he was in WWWF/WWF during 70's or 80's for a short time, so he won't be in the WWE Hall of Fame.

He's a legend.

Answer 5

Yes, back in the wwwf days. He was credited with breaking Bruno Sammartinos neck.
