Grand Wizard’s suit, Killer Bees mask spotted at Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame
A few months back, I took road trip out from Boston along Interstate 90 to visit the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame during its last weekend at its location in Amsterdam, NY. In 2016, the hall will reopen in Wichita Falls, TX.

Inside, the hall was a two-story journey through wrestling history, with tons of framed posters, ring robes, and arena programs.

Oh, wait a minute, there really weren’t any. Continue reading
