Join Us in Preserving Wrestling History
The International Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame is a not-for-profit museum dedicated to preserving, interpreting, and celebrating the people and stories that shaped professional wrestling. Through exhibitions, educational programming, archival stewardship, and the annual induction ceremony, the Hall of Fame connects generations of fans with the performers, photographers, promoters, broadcasters, and innovators whose work built this enduring art form.
Your sponsorship helps turn appreciation into lasting preservation. Gifts support the costs associated with honoring the Class of 2026, including Hall of Fame rings, inductee travel and lodging, event production, commemorative materials, and related museum activities. In return, sponsors receive meaningful recognition and memorable opportunities to connect their name or business with wrestling history.
Whether you are an individual fan, a family honoring a favorite legend, or a business seeking visibility among a passionate community, there is a level designed for you. Review the opportunities below, select the sponsorship that best fits your goals, and complete the response form at the end of this package. Every contribution strengthens the Hall of Fame’s ability to preserve the past and share it with future generations.
Program Sponsorship Opportunities
The Class of 2026 commemorative program gives individuals and businesses an accessible way to support the Hall of Fame while receiving recognition in a keepsake designed to remain in fans’ collections for years. Choose a listing or advertisement level below. These options are ideal for local businesses, wrestling organizations, collectors, fan clubs, families, and supporters who want to celebrate the inductees and help underwrite the work behind the ceremony.
Program deadline: October 24, 2026. Advertisement specifications, artwork delivery instructions, and final approval details will be provided after sponsorship confirmation. Because these programs are highly collectible, your recognition can continue reaching fans long after induction weekend. Space may be limited, so early commitments are encouraged.
Class of 2026 Honoree Sponsorships
Place your organization or family alongside a celebrated name in professional wrestling by sponsoring a Class of 2026 honoree. These premier opportunities help cover Hall of Fame rings, travel and hotel expenses for inductees, and related ceremony costs. Unless otherwise noted, each honoree sponsorship includes sponsor identification on the Hall of Fame’s official 8-by-10 autograph photographs, a one-half-page advertisement in the commemorative program, a steel chair signed by Hall of Famers at the induction ceremony, and two tickets to the November 1, 2026 induction ceremony, including the VIP soirée.
Honoree sponsorship creates a direct, memorable association with wrestling history and offers a distinctive hospitality experience for clients, colleagues, family, or friends. Businesses may use the recognition to demonstrate community support and connect with a dedicated fan audience; individuals may sponsor in their own name, in honor of someone special, or as a tribute to a favorite performer.
Sponsorships are subject to availability and are confirmed when payment and sponsor information are received. Select your preferred honoree below and indicate a second choice on the response form. The Hall of Fame will confirm availability and coordinate recognition details so your name appears accurately across applicable materials.
Help Support Our Supporters
The Hall of Fame also offers opportunities to recognize people who continue to champion professional wrestling’s legacy. These sponsorships provide the same core visibility and event benefits as the premier honoree package: sponsor identification on applicable official 8-by-10 autograph photographs, a one-half-page commemorative program advertisement, a steel chair signed by Hall of Famers at the induction ceremony, and two tickets to the November 1, 2026 induction ceremony, including the VIP soirée.
Bill Apter — $1,000. Celebrate the work of one of professional wrestling’s enduring supporters while aligning your name or business with the Hall of Fame’s preservation mission.
“Mr. USA” Tony Atlas, Class of 2025 — $1,000. This unique opportunity also includes a one-of-a-kind piece of original artwork created by Tony Atlas for the sponsor. The personalized sketch adds a distinctive keepsake to the standard package and makes this an especially memorable option for a collector, fan, client gift, or corporate display.
These limited opportunities are designed for sponsors who value personal connection, collectible experiences, and visible support for wrestling history. Availability will be confirmed after the completed response form and payment are received. If your first choice has already been reserved, the Hall of Fame will contact you regarding an alternate opportunity or another way to direct your gift.
