NWA Hall of Fame

File:NWAHallofFamelogo.jpg

The National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) Hall of Fame is an American professional wrestling hall of fame maintained by the NWA. It was established in 2005 to honor select wrestling personalities, mostly alumni of the NWA.{{cite web|url=http://www.nwawrestling.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=156&Itemid=405|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080530232302/http://nwawrestling.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=156&Itemid=405|url-status=dead|archive-date=2008-05-30|title=NWA Hall of Fame Inductees|publisher=National Wrestling Alliance|access-date=2009-01-19}} Inductees receive commemorative medals that have their names inscribed on it with the logo of the NWA.{{cite web|url=http://www.nwawrestling.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=758&Itemid=403|title=Ric Flair To Accept His NWA Award|publisher=National Wrestling Alliance|access-date=2009-01-19|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081223092232/http://nwawrestling.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=758&Itemid=403|archive-date=2008-12-23}}

The Class of 2005, the inaugural inductees into the Hall of Fame did not have a formal induction ceremony; as a result, they received their medals at a later time. A private gathering was conducted for the Class of 2006, in which inductees received their medal. Beginning with the Class of 2008 on June 7, 2008, a ceremony has been conducted to formally induct the inductees. There were no inductees in 2007 due to the planning of an international expansion to the NWA.{{cite web|url=http://www.nwawrestling.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=452&Itemid=403|title=2008 Class of the NWA Hall of Fame.|date=2008-09-21|publisher=National Wrestling Alliance|access-date=2009-01-19|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080603183741/http://nwawrestling.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=452&Itemid=403|archive-date=2008-06-03}} On June 7, 2008, the Class of 2008 was inducted into the Hall of Fame. Ric Flair, a member of the Class of 2008 and a World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) employee at the time of the ceremony, was inducted on October 4, 2008, after his WWE contract had expired; his WWE contract prevented him from appearing in other organizations. Similarly to the World Championship Wrestling's Hall of Fame, the 2008 ceremony was held during a wrestling event.{{cite episode |title= WCW Slamboree 1993|episode-link= Slamboree (1993)|series= Slamboree|network= In Demand pay-per-view|airdate=1993-05-23}}{{cite episode |title= WCW Slamboree 1994|episode-link=Slamboree (1994)|series= Slamboree|network= In Demand pay-per-view|airdate=1994-05-22}}{{cite episode |title= WCW Slamboree 1995|episode-link= Slamboree (1995)|series= Slamboree|network= In Demand pay-per-view|airdate=1995-05-21}}
