The Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame is a professional wrestling hall of fame that recognizes people who make significant contributions to the sport. It was founded in 1996 by Dave Meltzer, editor of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Unlike many halls of fame, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame is not contained in a building, and there are no ceremonies for inductions. Inductees include wrestlers, managers, promoters, trainers, and commentators. On five occasions, tag teams have been inducted rather than the individual members of the team. This first occurred in 1996, when The Dusek Family, The Fabulous Kangaroos, and the Road Warriors entered the hall. The Fabulous Freebirds and The Midnight Express have also been inducted as a group. The hall of fame was created to recognize people associated with wrestling. Other halls of fame existed, but they were owned and operated by specific professional wrestling promotions, such as the WWE, WCW, and NWA Halls of Fame.
