List of professional wrestling halls of fame
Appearance
(Redirected from Professional wrestling hall of fame)
This is a list of professional wrestling hall of fames. There are many pro wrestling-related halls of fame. Most are (or were) run by a particular promotion, often honoring alumni of that promotion or its predecessors, though some are independent. Most professional wrestling halls of fame do not have a physical building, existing instead merely as a "conceptual" hall of fame, with a notable exception being the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum founded in Amsterdam, New York.[1]
