Ted DiBiase, Rip Hawk and Wilbur Snyder will officially join the St. Louis Wrestling Hall of Fame June 21st

Posted: May 21st 2014 By: Press Release

Ted DiBiase, Rip Hawk and Wilbur Snyder will officially join the St. Louis Wrestling Hall of Fame when DiBiase visits the SICW card in East Carondelet, Ill., Saturday, June 21.

This Hall of Fame was designed to specifically honor those personalities involved in making the Wrestling at the Chase time period from 1959 to 1983 a truly Golden Era of professional wrestling. Membership has been limited so that the concentration was placed on those who helped make wrestling in St. Louis so special and unique at the time.

A million dollars of talent and charisma, DiBiase was an exciting superstar before the WWE ever came calling.

The late Snyder was a class act loaded with skill and fire, a regular main event performer from the 50s to the 70s.

When Wrestling at the Chase began, the late Hawk was a major factor in making the show the hottest must-see in St. Louis.

In addition to the induction of DiBiase June 21, a hot tag battle headlines the action as Heath Hatton and Daniel Eads, the Young Lions, collide with Ricky Cruz and Classic Champion Ironman Ken Kasa.

Following is the complete list of those in the St. Louis Wrestling Hall of Fame.
