Before any players there should be the innovators, leaders and those who got us to where we are.
For starters and in no particular order.
Charles Nelson
Rick Fairbanks
Doug Brown
Jeff Perlmutter
Dave Freeman
Matt Brown
Gino Postorivo
Glenn Palmer
Tom K
Budd Orr
John/Rita Gregory
Marty Tripes
Chauncey at Cooper T
Stan Burgis
Nicky Wilson
Keith Idema
George Statler
Aldo Perrone
Geno Perrone
Forrest Hatcher
Skeeter Gordy
Earon Carter
Dave Bell
Andy Greenwell
Mike Woods
Gramps
Grizzly
Ross Alexander
Jim Lively
Sam Caldwell
Zbid (and possibly Eric)
Mike Cassidy
John Dale
Russ Maynard
Tippmanns, et al
Rennick Miller
Danny Love
Bob Long (the innovator, not the player...yet)
Jessica Sparks
Cornelia Wallace
Wes Gong
Mark Schreck
Rose from Unique
Steve and Debbie (Great Balls to Fire)
Caleb Strong
Tom Dolimar
Gordon Cooper
"DC" Don Crow
Ken Kelsch
Sam Mc Bride
"Fast" Eddie Dovener
Carl McKown
Wayne Dollack
Guy Cooper
The OG Ironmen crew starting with founders Rick and "Machinegun Mike" Baird.
This is just what I pulled off the top of my head. I'll edit as I get more on paper
The ENTIRE crew from the first game ever played.
As for players, there are scores people just from the 80's and early 90's that would fill up the first 5 classes of inductees.
There needs to be a selection committee of at least 100 people comprised from each aspect within the industry and then start at the beginning.
It's not a popularity contest but a true selection based solely on what these people have done for the sport.
Divisions maybe? Industry / Players

Id put the men that played the very first game of paintball ever and the people who founded the NPPL..... Anything else would make this whole thing pointless. You can ruin it after for all I care but at least try to do it right the first time before its made a joke.

Ron Kilbourne absolutely has to go in. If he isn't in, it's not a real Hall of Fame.
