Eric Bischoff, former Raw general manager, spoke about a potential physical WWE Hall of Fame.
Speaking on Strictly Business, Eric Bischoff was asked to give his thoughts on WWE establishing a physical Hall of Fame. Bischoff postulated that a potential venue for this could be in Orlando, Florida. Bischoff said:
It probably will at some point. It’s just a question of priorities — what makes the most sense when. I’m sure it will happen at some point in time. Like I said, it’s just a matter of when.
There has been a long-standing desire among fans for the creation of a physical WWE Hall of Fame to honour and celebrate the rich history of professional wrestling.
While various museums across America have paid homage to the sport, WWE itself has yet to establish a dedicated space for fans to immerse themselves in the heritage of the industry. However, recent discussions and speculations surrounding the potential construction of a Hall of Fame building have reignited hopes among the WWE Universe.
For years, rumours have circulated within the wrestling community about WWE’s plans to establish a physical Hall of Fame. While occasional displays during Fan Axxess events have provided glimpses of what could be, the absence of a permanent location has left fans yearning for more.
