Join the International Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame for our fourth annual Induction Dinner Ceremony on October 13, 2024, as we return to the Crowne Plaza Albany - The Desmond Hotel in Albany, NY, where the inaugural IPWHF Class of 2021 induction dinner was held!

The evening will begin with a cocktail hour at 6:05 PM EST in the King's Courtyard, which we call WTBS (Wrestlers Talkin' Before the Show) in honor of the traditional television start time for pro wrestling on the TBS network for many years. The informal cocktail hour is followed by an elegant and intimate dinner with wrestlers, special guests, friends, and fans.

Returning this year to host will be legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter and Road Trip After Hours host Mac Davis providing entertainment and commentary. A banquet dinner is served to attendees as IPWHF executives and honored guests present awards, including the Rocky Johnson "Medal of Mettle", the Trailblazer Award, and the Excelsior Award. This year's award recipients are Korey Wise (One of the Exonoree Five), Mario Savoldi of the legendary Savoldi wrestling family, and professional wrestling's very own Bill Apter!

As a dinner guest, you will witness pro wrestling history as the IPWHF Class of 2024 is inducted into the Hall of Fame. Inductees present will receive their Hall of Fame ring and witness their bronze plaques be installed on the "Wall of Fame" at the IPWHF museum in the MVP Arena.
