List of professional wrestling halls 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 (such as the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame) 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 located in Amsterdam, New York.[1]
