Maybe they can use it as a kind of midcard title for acts who may or may never see the "real" HOF? It would shut up or even satisfy the people who are always moaning about the inductees. Kind of like some sports teams have the officially retired jersey numbers, with a ring of honor (or some such term) below that (and informally discontinued numbers below that).
