A physical WWE Hall of Fame does not exist, but Seth Rollins sees potential in having one.
WWE inducts a class of world-renowned pro wrestling figures into its Hall of Fame each year. People can visit WWE’s website to see all the members who have been inducted over the years, and WWE programming often name drops “WWE Hall of Famer” when referencing an inducted wrestler. However, the Hall of Fame is figurative, not literal, unlike professional sports leagues.
In an interview with GQ, when asked about sending some of his outfits to the WWE archives, Rollins said he does this because he thinks a physical Hall of Fame is possible down the road where his items can be displayed.
Yeah, yeah. The stuff I can’t give to Goodwill, if I don’t know where to get rid of it, I send it to the archives. Just because, you never know. I think at some point in the future there’s a market for a physical WWE Hall of Fame, and I’m lobbying for my own wing.
Rollins’ unique outfits since leaving The Shield make his own personal wing a fun idea. WWE could even include a memory lane of his most famous moments, highlighted by his cashing in of Money in the Bank in the main event of WrestleMania 31 to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
Stamford, Connecticut, the home of WWE headquarters, could make sense as a location for the WWE Hall of Fame. However, Manhattan, with its abundance of tourist-attracting museums, might be the best option, especially considering its status as the biggest market in the country.
Would WWE ever make a physical Hall of Fame? It’s all a big if right now, as it’s just a ceremony and a place on WWE.com. Maybe, under new ownership soon, that will change.
