Very nice. Especially for Fritz, an older guy that is mostly under the radar. Are they both going to be at the induction ceremony?

Definitely cool. Bronko making it is also neat and Steamboat gets the double introduction this year.

Fritz is a regular at the event. This is (at least) the 3rd HOF for Bronko Nagurski, who is in both the Pro and College Football HOF. I believe he is the only college football player named to the All-American team for both offense AND defense in the same year. I'd have to look over the roster, but I think Luther Lindsay may be the first African-American member of this HOF, so it should be an exciting year. |

Yeah, congrats to both of them!
I actually got to meet Nick Bockwinkel last summer here in Las Vegas at the Fiesta Casino which is one of our local WWE Blast Zones where they show all the WWE PPVs for free. It was prior to the Night of Champions PPV where Bockwinkel was set up at a table signing autographs and I got Bockwinkel to sign my LOW card of him.
