WWE announced on last night’s episode of SmackDown from Little Rock that Carlos Colon will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year in New Orleans. Colon has promoted the WWC promotion in Puerto Rico for over 40 years and last wrestled for WWE in 1993 at the Royal Rumble. He also appeared on a 2006 RAW to cheer on his son Carlito. Colon is also the father to Primo Colon (Diego of Los Matadores) and uncle to Orlando Colon (Fernando). Colon once had close ties with Gorilla Monsoon, whom co-promoted the WWC territory with Colon for the first 10 years of it’s existence.
Carlos will join the Ultimate Warrior, Jake “The Snake” Roberts, Lita, and Paul Bearer in the 2014 Class of the WWE Hall of Fame.
Other names still being tossed around as inductees for this year include Scott Hall and possibly Mr. T, for the celebrity wing.
