Episode 27: 2025 The Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame with The Panel

Pro Wrestling Time Tunnel Presents: Personalities, Territories, Towns & Buildings Episode 27, this week on the Time Tunnel Wrestling History Show, we review several names on this year’s Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame Ballot.

I asked three of our regular guests and experts to come on the show to discuss who they believe should be elected to this year’s Hall of Fame Class. Steve Gennerelli, Brian R. Solomon and Greg Klein graciously accepted my invitation and are at the Richards Ranch for this great and thorough discussion and, of course, I have my own favorite that I am advocating for in this year’s voting.

Come along for the ride as we discuss:

• Gorilla Monsoon

• The Junkyard Dog

• The Grand Wizard

• Roy Welch

• Morris Sigel

• George Scott

• Wild Bull Curry

and a couple of others!
