THE PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING HALL OF FAME INAUGURAL INDUCTION WEEKEND
May 4-5, 2002
Here's Tom with the Hall of Fame's prime mover and shaker, Tony Vellano. Tony has done a sensational job getting the Hall of Fame off the ground. Best of luck, Tony!
One of the Hall's main backers is George "The Animal" Steele. There were no turnbuckles in sight, so George got bored and posed with Tom.
The legendary strongman, Ox Baker, took time to visit Tom at the Filsinger Games table. Is there room in the LWF (Legends of Wrestling Federation) for Ox Baker?
Future Hall of Famer, Killer Kowalski, visited with Tom at the Hall of Fame. Can the LWF sign such a classic wrestling star?
After hours was half the fun! Seated to Tom's right is Karl Lauer, the vice-president of the Cauliflower Alley Club. Karl was a first-class gentleman all the way and the support of the CAC is greatly appreciated. In front is Gene Petit (Cousin Luke).
Tom proudly poses next to the Champions of the Galaxy box set and playing cards that are displayed at the Hall of Fame. Thanks to Tony Vellano for bestowing this honor upon us.
Here's a close-up of the Champions of the Galaxy display in the Hall of Fame. Note the Ilio DiPaolo salad dressing and Hulk Hogan lunchbox. An interesting neighborhood! Thanks to Ty States for taking most of the photos on this page!
