aea hall of fame honorable mentions

We would like to introduce the following members to the Honorable Mentions list of the AEA Hall of Fame.

These AEA Champions have met all the credentials necessary to be inducted into the AEA Hall of Fame; unfortunately with the amount of other AEA Champions on the ballot they have not acquired enough votes to be inducted within the five (5) year induction period. If the AEA Champions below wins another title; they will be added back into the AEA Hall of Fame voting process for one (1) year. These champions will not lose their spot as an AEA HOF Honorable Mention member, but they could be inducted into the AEA Hall of Fame with enough votes in their return.
