Tragos/Thesz Hall of Fame weekend

This was my third time going down to Waterloo for the annual George Tragos/Lou Thesz Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame at the Dan Gable International Wrestling Museum. The weekends events start on Friday afternoon with evaluation matches that were watched by Jerry Brisco and Jim Ross.

When the doors opened up for the evening event fans could meet and get autographs from all the legends in attendance such as Danny Hodge, Larry Hennig (Lou Thesz award winner) and Barron Von Raschke. Jim Ross was also selling his BBQ sauce and beef jerky. Later in the night Diamond Dallas Page (Frank Gotch award winner), Scott Steiner (hall of fame inductee) and Randy Couture (George Tragos award winner) were at the tables meeting the fans. This event is very fan friendly and I encourage all pro wrestling fans to make their way to Waterloo next year.
