Gorgeous George Named to the WWE Hall of Fame

When I think of Gorgeous George I think of someone being flamboyant and charismatic. I have seen old videos of him and he was so outrageous in the 40’s and 50’s. He wrestled for 30 years and died at a young age of 48. Even major stars like Muhammad Ali and James Brown said they were influenced by George Wagner and his character in the ring.

Gorgeous George held the AWA World Heavyweight Championship at one point in his career. He also feuded with Bruno Sammartino, Lou Thez, and Classy Freddie Blassie. Gorgeous George may be gone but he will never be forgotten. All these years later and he’s finally being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Gorgeous was way a head of his time and was the first star to be controversial, and outrageous in the ring.

Congratulations to Gorgeous George for being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
