William Shatner will be inducted into the celebrity wing of the WWE Hall Of Fame.
As first reported by USA Today, the actor best known for his portrayal of Captain James T. Kirk in the Star Trek franchise will be inducted during the ceremony airing on Peacock on April 6. WWE added, Shatner will be part of the 2020 WWE Hall Of Fame class.
Shatner compared WWE events to Star Trek conventions
“It’s very much the same, the approbation, the joy,” Shatner said. “The enthusiasm the wrestling audience shows toward its favorite people is not dissimilar to the enthusiasm ‘Star Trek’ fans show.”
William Shatner has made several appearances for WWE over the last 25-years, including inducing Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler into the 2007 Hall Of Fame.
