WWE Hall Of Fame 2014 Inductees: Father Of Carlito, Carlos Colon Sr. And Mr. T New Members Of ‘Class Of 2014’; Razor Ramon May Be Next?

WWE Hall Of Fame 2014 Inductees: With the WWE on the verge of the Wrestlemania season, one thing is being talked about beside the big matches and the "Grandest Stage Of Them All" and it would be the WWE Hall of Fame.

The WWE Hall Of Fame has been a yearly tradition to induct big names that made the wrestling company to what it has become today as the biggest sports entertainment franchise.

Big names are included in this year's class as Mr. T, Ultimate Warrior, Paul Bearer and father of Carlito Caribbean Cool, Carlos Colon Sr., to name a few.

The announcement of Mr. T and Carlos Colon's induction would put their name on the halls of the WWE forever.

WWE got a chance to talk to Orlando Colon, Carlos' nephew and Eddie Colon, the hall of famer's son about Carlos and talked about what made him to be such a great performer of his time that he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Orlando Colon said, "The connection he had with the crowd. He wasn't the biggest guy, but he was the one who had the biggest heart. And he always stuck to his roots, which was Puerto Rico. No matter where he went, he represented the island with class. I remember his great battles with Stan Hansen, Abdullah the Butcher, Ric Flair, Harley Race, Dory Funk, Terry Funk, Mil Mascaras, Pedro Morales, you name 'em. He's wrestled most of the wrestlers in the WWE Hall of Fame - anybody that was somebody in this business - and he's beat them."

His connection with his huge Puerto Rican fans may have been a big key for his success as Eddie Colon would say, "The Puerto Rican fans are very passionate. My dad had such a connection with them. He was loved and cherished by them. It was something incredible. All he had to do was talk on that mic every week on the afternoon show 12:00 to 2:00 on Saturday and Sunday, and he'd just connect with his audience. They'd follow him and live and die for him. That special connection was kind of like what Muhammad Ali had in his era. And his track record speaks for itself."

The engagement will be set on the day before Wrestlemania in New Orleans on April 5.
