Long before WrestleMania even existed, Georgia’s wrestling scene was home to many future legends. This year’s WWE Hall of Fame inductees, as well as some of those competing in WrestleMania itself, are proof that Atlanta is still an important part of today’s wrestling world, even a decade after the demise of WCW. Here’s an article that will appear in tomorrow’s AJC about this year’s Hall of Fame and the local legends being inducted. Be sure to pick up a copy because it will also feature some cool pictures.
