Mick Foley will be inserted into the WWE Hall of Fame at April's induction ceremony.

Bob Backlund

Backlund defeated "Superstar" Billy Graham in 1978 to pluck the WWE Championship and would go on to hold the strap for five years, beating the likes of Sgt Slaughter, Jimmy Snuka, Harley Race, Ric Flair and Nick Bockwinkle in the process. The Minnesotan's second and final reign with the title would last just three days, but he showed his grappling ability during the 1993 Royal Rumble match, which he won after lasting a whopping 61 minutes and 10 seconds. Backlund, famous for his Crossface Chickenwing submission manoeuvre, also won the WWE Tag Team Titles on one occasion with Pedro Morales.

Donald Trump

The business mogul has enjoyed a long and successful relationship with the WWE, allowing two WrestleManias, IV and V, to be held in his Atlantic City casino, Trump Plaza. Trump also put his infamous hair on the line at WrestleMania 23, but kept his locks after Bobby Lashley beat Umaga - meaning Vince McMahon was shaved bald instead. The New Yorker purchased Monday Night Raw in June 2009, too, before selling it back to McMahon a week later for a handsome profit.
