The WWE Hall of Fame will induct another famous figure, best known for his exploits in a sport other than pro wrestling. The great and mercurial Dennis Rodman will be honored next month during a ceremony around WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, and most of Rodman’s time inside the ring happened with the defunct WCW.

He wrestled three matches there, including one in which he tagged with Hulk Hogan against Diamond Dallas Page and another NBA great, Karl Malone. Rodman was a five-time NBA champion with the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls. Rodman was inducted into the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame.
