The ceremony is set to take place during WrestleMania 41 Weekend in Las Vegas, adding another layer of prestige to what’s already promising to be a memorable few days in Sin City.
It’s an interesting shift in WWE’s approach to honoring its past, recognizing that certain matches transcend the individual performers and become something greater in wrestling history.
The Austin-Hart submission match has long been considered one of the most influential bouts ever, featuring that iconic image of Austin screaming in pain with blood streaming down his face. Now it’ll be immortalized in a whole new way as part of this year’s ceremony.
