BREAKING: Trish Stratus to be inducted into the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame
We are excited to announce Trish Stratus, already a member of the WWE Hall of Fame, will be honored next summer at the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame.
Trish will join the 2022 class and will be the recipient of the Lou Thesz Award, an award that recognizes those in the professional wrestling industry who have used their skills in the realm of public service.
She is the first female to receive the organization's highest award. Past recipients of this prestigious honor named after Lou Thesz, a 15-time World Champion, include Edge, Booker T, Jim Ross, JJ Dillon, and most recently, Thunderbolt Patterson.
Stratus became the first female to receive Cauliflower Alley Club's Iron Mike Award in 2016 and as she continues to find herself in trailblazing roles, she is overwhelmed to be recognized by the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum.
"To be receiving this award, named after one of our industry's greatest is truly humbling. And to be the first female means so much – I am beyond honored", Stratus said after learning the news. "It gives me hope as a female that our work is being acknowledged and to be able to take our place in history means everything."
The awards ceremony will take place July 21-23, 2022 in Waterloo, Iowa within the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum. For tickets, call 319-233-0745.
A huge congratulations to our boss lady from the entire team here at TrishStratus.com!
