?We are pleased to honor the nominees to the 2014 NWA HOF, all of which contributed to the development and future of professional wrestling in their own unique way,? said NWA President Bruce Tharpe. ?Inducting them into the NWA HOF is our way of saying ?thank you? for all you have done for wrestling and the fans and in paving the way for the rest of us to follow.?
