世界レスリング連盟（WWF）は1993年にWWF殿堂を設立した。1993年3月22日のMonday Night Rawで初めて発表され、その約2か月前に亡くなったアンドレ・ザ・ジャイアントが唯一の殿堂入り者として発表された。[1] [2] [3]その後2年間、殿堂入り式典は毎年恒例のキング・オブ・ザ・リングのペイパービューイベントに合わせて開催された。1996年の式典はサバイバー・シリーズのイベントで、レスラーだけでなく初めて有料の観客の前で開催され、その後殿堂は休止となった。[4]
WWF殿堂（1993年）はWWE殿堂の第1回クラスでした。1993年3月22日のMonday Night Rawのエピソード中に、アンドレ・ザ・ジャイアントの殿堂入りを発表するビデオパッケージが放映されました。[3]式典は行われず、アンドレは死後に殿堂入りしました。2015年3月、1994年の式典の要約版がWWEネットワークに追加されました。[36]独自の式典がなかったため、1993年のアンドレの殿堂入りは、 1994年の解説の一部としてジーン・オーカーランドとルネ・ヤングによって取り上げられました。
Others have offered praise for the Hall of Fame. World Wrestling Council promoter and 26-time WWC Universal Heavyweight ChampionCarlos Colón Sr. said that his 2014 induction was a "realization of a dream".[283] Arn Anderson, who was inducted in 2012 as part of The Four Horsemen, said that the induction was the "pinnacle of [his] wrestling life".[284] 2015 Hall of Fame headliner Kevin Nash stated that two things in the professional wrestling business are real: "When you win your first championship and when you get inducted into the Hall of Fame". Nash claimed this is a sentiment to which colleague Ric Flair also subscribes.[285] During his 2013 induction, Donald Trump said that the honor meant more than "having the highest ratings in TV, being a best-selling author or getting a spot on the Hollywood Walk of Fame".[286]
