Not only was the news welcomed by the illustrious competitors, but fans quickly reached fever pitch by drawing up a list of potential inductees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBring back the Hall of Fame?\u201d asked Wood via his personal Instagram profile. \u201cThe Joe Weider\u2019s Bodybuilding Hall of Fame has not been added to since 2010,\u201d he explained of his motivations, later commenting that in 2011, a number of athletes were nominated but never officially inducted. \u201cI found their unpresented awards in the warehouse of materials shipped to me after the purchase of the Olympia,\u201d revealed Wood.<\/p>\n<p>The IFBB Hall of Fame was established in 1999 but has been dormant for more than a decade. \u201cI\u2019m unofficially wondering if we should reactivate it this year or next,\u201d shared Wood, noting that if it did come back, there would be a huge backlog of talent to take care of. \u201cWho are the fan favorites?\u201d he then asked his followers.<\/p>\n<h2>Who would fans induct into a reactivated Bodybuilding Hall of Fame?<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cAs a bodybuilding fan this is amazing, to see this back,\u201d wrote a hopeful \u2018Flex\u2019 Lewis. Yes, the same man who won 7 consecutive 212 Olympia titles in his own right. \u201cYou should be on it,\u201d responded Wood. Other fans were quick to nominate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/flexonline\/flex-news\/legendary-bodybuilders-immortalized-olympia-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mr Olympia icons<\/a> like Jay Cutler, Phil Heath, and Ronnie Coleman for some much-deserved recognition. And. the list of possibilities appears almost endless. Dennis James, Chris Cormier, and countless others were brought up too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow come the list stopped adding to it in 2010?\u201d asked an intrigued follower. \u201cThe Olympia ownership of that time made the choice for reasons I\u2019m not certain of,\u201d answered Wood. Other fans pondered whether the Hall of Fame could even be extended, to include notable figures like coaches.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, chatter around the return of the IFBB Hall of Fame is purely speculation at this point, but Jake Wood\u2019s unofficial wonderings have got a lot of people\u2019s interests piqued! Who would YOU induct first?<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mrolympia.com\/mr-olympia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The 2025 Olympia will take place in Las Vegas, Oct. 9-12.
