Congratulations to the inductees, their families and fans.

2012 marks the first year that 95% of the inductees into the National Wrestling Alliance™ Hall of Fame were selected by an independent committee of pro wrestling fans. Consistent with their commitment to a policy of inclusion, NWA™ owners R. Bruce Tharpe, Fred Rubenstein and Chris Ronquillo pledge to continue and expand fan participation. We thank the committee for a job well done.

The 2012 NWA™ Hall of Fame Committee:
