WWE Hall of Fame
The WWE Hall of Fame is a hall of fame which honors professional wrestlers and professional wrestling personalities maintained by WWE. Originally known as the "WWF Hall of Fame", it was created in 1993 when André the Giant was posthumously inducted with a video package as the sole inductee that year. The 1994 and 1995 ceremonies were held in conjunction with the annual King of the Ring pay-per-view events and the 1996 ceremony was held with the Survivor Series event. Since 2004, the promotion has held the ceremonies in conjunction with WrestleMania. Since 2005, portions of the induction ceremonies have aired on television and since 2014, the entire ceremony has aired on the WWE's livestreaming platforms.
As of 2025, there have been 254 inductees, with 134 wrestlers inducted individually, 49 Legacy inductees, 20 group inductions (consisting of 54 wrestlers within those groups), 14 celebrities, 9 Warrior Award recipients, and 1 Immortal Moment recipient (a category introduced in 2025 to honor historical matches). Eight wrestlers have been inducted twice in two categories: Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Booker T, Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and Triple H; while two two-time inductees were inducted twice as a member of a group: Sean Waltman (D-Generation X and The New World Order) and Barry Windham (The Four Horsemen and The U.S. Express); while Bret "The Hitman" Hart is the only wrestler to be inducted three separate times in three separate categories. Sixty-eight members have been inducted posthumously.
The World Wrestling Federation (WWF) established the WWF Hall of Fame in 1993. It was first announced on the March 22, 1993, episode of Monday Night Raw where André the Giant, who had died nearly two months prior, was announced as the sole inductee. In the proceeding two years, induction ceremonies were held in conjunction with the annual King of the Ring pay-per-view events. The 1996 ceremony was held with the Survivor Series event, for the first time in front of a paying audience as well as the wrestlers, after which, the Hall of Fame went on hiatus.
After an eight-year hiatus the promotion — renamed World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in 2002 — scheduled the 2004 ceremony to coincide with WrestleMania, establishing the traditional date for all following ceremonies. Highlights of the 2004 ceremony were shown at WrestleMania XX, followed by the inductees appearing on the entrance stage in a condensed ceremony, which would become a Hall of Fame tradition from that point forward. The full version was released on DVD on June 1, 2004. Beginning with the 2005 ceremony, an edited version of the Hall of Fame was broadcast on Spike TV (2005) and on the USA Network (2006–present); these were aired on tape delay. Since 2005, the entire Hall of Fame ceremony has been packaged as part of the annual WrestleMania DVD release, and from 2014, has been broadcast live on the WWE Network streaming service. The 2021 ceremony was pretaped on March 30 and April 1 and aired on April 6. In addition to the WWE Network in international markets, the event also aired on Peacock in the United States after the American version of the WWE Network had merged under Peacock in March that year.
Although a building has never been built to represent the Hall of Fame, WWE has looked into constructing a facility. In 2008, Shane McMahon, then-Executive Vice President of Global Media of WWE, stated that WWE had been storing wrestling memorabilia in a warehouse for years, with all items categorized and dated in case a facility is created. Ric Flair stated in 2020 that WWE was in the process of creating a building for the Hall of Fame and that it would be in Florida in the Orlando area, but plans had been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The current WWE president has expressed interest about creating a hall of fame building in 2021.
The "celebrity wing" of the Hall of Fame is dedicated to celebrities who have made memorable appearances on WWE programming, and/or have had longtime associations with WWE (or professional wrestling in general), who have been very successful in other fields.
In 2015, WWE introduced the Warrior Award for those who had "exhibited unwavering strength and perseverance, and who live life with the courage and compassion that embodies the indomitable spirit of the Ultimate Warrior".
While WWE promoted Warrior Award recipients as Hall of Fame inductees, they were not included in the Hall of Fame section at WWE.com and an image gallery which shows "every WWE Hall of Famer ever" does not contain any recipient.
