Diesel -- real name Kevin Nash -- held the WWE world title for about a year in the '90s. He was one of the founding members of the New World Order in World Championship Wreslting. His induction was announced by Rolling Stone.

Zybyszko studied under WWE Hall of Famer Bruno Sammartino and started wrestling for World Wrestling Entertainment in the '70s. He was a commentator in the '90s for WCW, where he stood up to the heel faction nWo.

Blayze was a three-time WWE Women's Champion. Upon signing with WCW, she dumped the WWE women's title belt into a garbage can live on WCW Monday Nitro.

Rikishi was an Attitude Era mainstay and formed a stable with Too Cool (Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty). He's the father of WWE wrestlers Jey and Jimmy Uso.

Schwarzenegger never wrestled for WWE, but is friends with Sammartino. He has appeared from time to time on WWE television.

The Bushwhackers hail from New Zealand. They wrestled for WWE in the '90s and appeared on the TV show Family Matters.

Fujinami trained under WWE Hall of Famer Antonio Inoki. He fought WWE Hall of Famer "Nature Boy" Ric Flair at the Tokyo Dome in '90 to win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.

Finally, the inaugural "Warrior Award" will go to Connor "The Crusher" Michalek, 8, who died of cancer last year. The fan showed "unwavering strength and perseverance" and lived life with courage and compassion, according to wwe.com. The honor is named for the late Ultimate Warrior, a Hall of Famer.

Congratulations to all the inductees!
