The GERWECK.NET Hall of Fame is intended to include the elite members of the wrestling community that deserve to be inducted into a prestigious hall of fame without prejudice or politics. Areas of consideration for induction should include (but not be limited to) a wrestler’s drawing power, wrestling ability, impact or influences on the business, longevity, and passion/drive for the industry. Non-in ring performers (such as promoters, announcers, referees, etc.) should also be judged by a similar criterion, based on the highest standards for their areas. Remember, this is not a popularity contest. This hall of fame will only include the best of the best. Readers should e-mail halloffame@gerweck.net with names of candidates worthy of consideration. The name with the highest number of suggestions will be considered for voting the following month. Thus, twelve names will be considered per year, and the number of inductees for the year is totally up to the GERWECK.NET readers. If a subject doesn’t qualify for induction, he or she will remain off the consideration list for twelve months. If a subject receives 70% or higher, he or she will be inducted.
Who? Who voted for this? Was it one person that voted 682 times? Who even know that Dick the Bruiser existed? It is 2023 now.
When I was much younger, I had a wrestling book featuring the careers of many wrestlers, including Dick the Bruiser. Back then, I didn’t have access to matches of these wrestling stars, yet could appreciate them from what I read.
I voted Yes for Dick the Bruiser to honour someone whose accomplishments are etched in history, and hopefully, future generations can appreciate when stumbling upon Halls of Fame, such as this one.
One day, the stars we admire today will be held in similar esteem as Dick the Bruiser, along with many more that deserve the accolades.
@Uncle Jasper
Congratulations. You just posted what seems to be the stupidest comment in the history of this site.
@Luke,
You just said what I was about to say. In fact, Jasper’s comment shows that he’s not aware that there was pro wrestling before 1990.
He ran a good territory in Indianapolis and gave Scott Steiner his start.
As a native Hoosier, I appreciate that Dick the Bruiser’s legacy still lives on.
