WATERLOO, Iowa—He is the voice of professional wrestling. Now, he will be the voice of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum’s biggest event of the year.
Jim Ross, a recipient of the Lou Thesz Award in 2011, will be the master of ceremonies during the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame induction banquet on Saturday, July 19 in Waterloo.
This year’s hall of came class includes Rick Steiner, Scott Steiner, Wilbur Snyder, Diamond Dallas Page (Frank Gotch Award), Larry Hennig (Lou Thesz Award), Randy Couture (George Tragos Award), and Larry Matysik (Jim Melby Award).
