Triple H Speaks On Possibility Of Physical WWE Hall of Fame
Over the years, rumors have circulated regarding WWE building a physical hall of fame, featuring a collection of historic pro wrestling memorabilia.
WWE and A&E recently premiered a series “The Quest For Lost WWE Treasures” hosted by Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.
During a recent appearance on Cheap Heat Radio with Peter Rosenberg, Triple H was asked if we will ever see a physical WWE Hall of Fame for the public visit.
“For me to say it’s on the way makes it sound like we’re already building it,” Triple H noted. “It is definitely something we’ve contemplated. It has to be done right. It’s funny, people go, ‘That would be fascinating to go to to see somebody’s old trunks.’ Hall of Fames like that, physical Hall of Fames and museums like that tend to be money pits and not do well because over time, people lost interest. You need to make it something more, and I think if it was interactive with technology the way that it is now.
“There are those objects and things that people can see and be wowed by, but also, there’s reasons to keep going back. I’m of the opinion that that needs to be more than a thing you go to one time and go, ‘That was neat. I saw some boots’ but more of a you got to go see this. I was there. There’s a virtual this. There’s a 3D that. There’s a technology that takes you to another level like Disney where you go see these incredible things but also have these mind-blowing experiences around WWE, and you can spend the day there.
“You can go there and meet some legends and see people doing Q and A’s and maybe it’s part of our developmental where there’s matches happening. There’s a lot of thought being put into it and a lot of being put around it. If you were to say, and it’s not, clearly, my final decision always, but if you were to say, is that something that I am bullish about doing in the future? Absolutely.”
Last year, during an interview with ESPN, Ric Flair claims WWE is in the process of building a physical hall of fame in Orlando, FL. The 16-time champ states he sold a robe to the company to be placed at the location.
Following Flair’s appearance, WWE sources indicated there were no plans, despite Flair’s comments.
