Next name confirmed for the WWE Hall of Fame
Japanese star Bull Nakano is the second individual to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2024 next month in Philadelphia. The news was announced via an ESPN article.
The 56-year-old has a wrestling career that spanned across Japan, Mexico, and the United States and is best known in the U.S. for her stint with the WWE when she feuded with Alundra Blayze in the mid 90s.
“During my active years, I was able to get championship belts in Japan, America and Mexico,” Nakano told ESPN through an interpreter. “But just one thing was missing – I didn’t get inducted into the Hall of Fame. I wanted this. Finally, in 2024 in WrestleMania week, I am able to get this.”
Her biggest contribution did come in Japan though working for AJW where she spent a total of 13 years working there. She also had a short stint in WCW where she resume her feud with Blayze, who was known in WCW as Medusa.
She is the second one to be announced for the Hall of Fame this year following the confirmation of Paul Heyman earlier on Monday.
An unbelievable talent with an unforgettable look, and a mean streak a mile long.
