TNA star Kurt Angle's Hall of Fame plaque auctioned off by WWE's Gerald Brisco

Dot Net Member MattheWWFanatic attended the George Tragos and Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in Waterloo, Iowa and sent the following report. For photos of the event, check out Twitter.com/StuntGranny.

As you know, Kurt Angle was supposed to attend and be inducted into the Hall of Fame only to back out of attending on Wednesday. Kurt sent in a video that they could not get to play right with any sound, but it consisted of Kurt reading off a piece of paper with a framed WWE promo picture of himself in the background. Jerry Brisco accepted on Kurt's behalf.

It ended up being Jerry burying Kurt and his manager for him not showing up since they only induct people who agree to attend as a big selling point for the fans is getting to meet the wrestlers. Each person inducted receives a plaque with their face on it with career accomplishments. Jerry auctioned off the plaque that Kurt was supposed to get with all the proceeds going to the museum. The room was waiting for an "I'm kidding" but he legitimately auctioned off the plaque for $250. I assume it would have went higher if everyone had thought Brisco was serious to start with.
