Dillon, Bob Holly, Nikita Koloff, Stan Hansen, Larry &#8220;The Axe&#8221; Hennig, B. Brian Blair, Gerry Brisco, Bruce Hart, &#8220;Cowboy&#8221; Bob Orton, DJZ\/Zema Ion, Brian Cage, and Dan Severn are among those advertised.<\/p>\n<p>I will also be there for the fourth straight year along with PWTorch senior columnist Bruce Mitchell including recording a live podcast. This is a great weekend and the most economical way to have the best access you&#8217;ll find anywhere to a great weekend of wrestling happenings; the Dan Gable Wrestling Museum itself is worth the drive not to mention a strong IPW indy shown Friday night and the HOF banquet on Saturday night, plus just a fun small town atmosphere where everything is walking distance and there&#8217;s always someone to hang out that you&#8217;ll recognize. Getting to Waterloo, Iowa is a four hour drive from Milwaukee, a three hour drive from Minneapolis\/St. Paul, a two hour drive from Des Moines, Iowa, a one hour drive from Cedar Rapids, Iowa., and a four-and-a-half hour drive from Chicago. It&#8217;s worth the drive (or a flight and then a drive).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAttending the George Tragos\/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame is a must for any true fan of professional wrestling,\u201d said Jim Ross, master of ceremonies for this year\u2019s hall of fame banquet and \u201cThe Voice\u201d of professional wrestling. \u201cI\u2019m challenging everyone to bring at least one additional person with them to this year\u2019s event. I can\u2019t wait to attend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Gable Museum is also offering an all-access pass and a three-night hotel stay package from\u00a0July 26-29\u00a0at the newly remodeled Hotel Fourth (formerly Ramada Inn) for $355.\u00a0All-inclusive Hall of Fame packages and all-access passes must be pre-ordered by contacting the Dan Gable Museum at\u00a0<a>dgmstaff@nwhof.org<\/a>, calling (319) 233-0745, <a href=\"https:\/\/dgm-nwhof.ticketleap.com\/2018-george-tragoslou-thesz-professional-wrestling-hall-of-fame\/dates\/Jul-26-2018_at_0100PM\">CLICK HERE<\/a>.
