Harlem Heat announced as fourth inductees into Class of 2019 WWE Hall of Fame

WWE has confirmed the fourth inductees for this year’s Hall of Fame.

Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) were officially confirmed as the latest inductees for the upcoming Class of 2019 ceremony taking place during WrestleMania 35 weekend.

Harlem Heat, as described by WWE, were one of the most dominant wrestling tag teams of the 1990s, holding the WCW Tag Team Championships a record 10 times.

Excerpt from WWE’s write up about Harlem Heat’s career below:

Bursting on the scene straight off 110th Street in Harlem, N.Y., Booker T & Stevie Ray arrived in WCW in summer 1993, bringing a streetwise, in-your-face attitude to the squared circle. They stared directly into the camera on their way to the ring, warning fans at home that they were about to bust some heads when they stepped between the ropes. And bust heads they did. Harlem Heat wasted no time in mixing it up with the top stars of WCW at the time, like Sting, Ric Flair and British Bulldog. They even joined forces with Sid and Vader to enter the unforgiving battleground known as WarGames.

It was when the brothers took on the managerial services of 2006 WWE Hall of Fame Inductee Sensational Sherri that their stars began to shine. With “Sister” Sherri in their corner, it wasn’t long before Harlem Heat captured their first WCW Tag Team Championship, defeating Stars & Stripes on WCW Saturday Night. Booker T & Stevie Ray brawled with the likes of The Steiner Brothers, Sting & Lex Luger and The Nasty Boys on their way to seven reigns as WCW Tag Team Champions.

By 1997, the two brothers went their separate ways, Stevie going on to become a trusted member of the infamous nWo, while Booker became a breakout singles star, capturing the WCW Television Title on several occasions.

This year’s Hall of Fame ceremony will be held on Saturday (April 6) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, with NXT TakeOver: New York taking place the day before.

D-Generation X (Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Billy Gunn, “Road Dogg” Jesse James, X-Pac and Chyna), The Honky Tonk Man and Torrie Wilson were all announced as inductees prior.

Opinionated View- Stevie Ray is not a hall of fame level guy. But hey after last week with Torrie the hall of fame is pretty much worthless
