LES THATCHER FINALLY GETS HIS FLOWERS, BOOK JIM ROSS AND MORE

The 24th annual George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame Induction weekend takes place this weekend in Waterloo, IA with TNTHOF Board President Gerry Brisco, Conrad Thompson, Les Thatcher, Bill DeMott, Haku, John Bradshaw Layfield (JBL), Tom Burke, Sinn Bohdi, Ken Patera, D-Von Dudley, James Beard, Wes Brisco, Colt Cabana, Tommy “Wildfire” Rich, "The Boogie Woogie Man" Jimmy Valiant, Baron Von Raschke, JJ Dillon, Demolition Ax, Demolition Smash, Marty Jannetty, Bob Roop, Nord the Barbarian/Berserker, Thunderbolt Patterson, Jonard Solie, Ric McCord, Joe Malenko, and more scheduled to attend. 

Of interest obviously to all of us here is the induction of LES THATCHER as the first-ever Jack Brisco Spotlight Award inductee.  That induction means a lot to me personally as Les has been deserving of recognition for decades for all he's done as a wrestler, promoter, trainer, broadcaster, mentor and all about ambassador for pro wrestling and my sincere hope is this opens the doors for every other Hall of Fame inducting him in such fashion.  Les is an insane stickler for details and I've learned a lot from him over the years and I am so happy for he and his family this weekend.

Jim Ross is currently taking bookings for appearances.  If interested, you can contact Steve Woolf at  Celebritysignings@sbcglobal.net or text him at 951-850-5268.
