The process by which inductees are selected is not always obvious, and the criteria for induction have never been disclosed, other than the person must have made their first appearance in the ring 20 years ago.
Although the Hall (in theory) honours those with important WWE careers, since it's revival in 2004 some inductees (such as Harley Race, Verne Gagne and Nick Bockwinkel) achieved much of their success outside of WWE, though the companies where they did achieve their success are now largely part of the WWE
The question should be: "why have people like Drew Carey, Mr. T, Mike Tyson and Donald Trump(!) been inducted into the hall?"
