Tragos/Thesz HOF (announcements and set 5 speculation)

[guiltyparty]

Our friends over at the TTHoF, after wrapping up the year by announcing Don Frye as 2024's Tragos award winner and Tony Schiavone as the 2024 Solie award winner, have kicked the year off with a bang announcing that the 2024 Gotch award winner will be The Enforcer Arn Anderson!
Let six months of speculation about getting a Double A card begin!

Oh, also the trainer award which Boris Malenko* received last year has been renamed in honor of Verne Gagne.
_{I mistakenly attributed the 2023 trainer award to Les Thatcher, who received the Jack Brisco award}


Frank Gotch Award - Arn Anderson
George Tragos Award - Don Frye
Jack Brisco Spotlight Award - Tony Garea
Jim Melby Award - Al Getz
Lou Thesz Championship Award - Tito Santana
The Gordon Solie Award - Tony Schiavone
TNTHOF Honoree - TBA (in March, per TTHOF Facebook page)
Verne Gagne Training Award (presented by Greg Gagne) - Tom Prichard

I want my Tony Schiavone card with the "Tape machines are rolling" add 1 to both wrestlers and roll iniative on L2 offense on the back.

Arn would be amazing. I'd need to look up some more info on Frye but anyone who we might get via TNT intrigues me.

Frye mostly wrestled in Japan, right?

Arn would be Awesome... As would Schiavone.

Don Frye would be awesome. He was so unique and such a great character for the normally-dry shootstyle--just a fantastic scuzzball heel in an environment where those didn't really exist.

That said, we gotta remember that these guys are more likely for a potential Thesz-Tragos VI than V. We didn't get Albright or Haku last year.

I think exclusively, deep in the dark days of Inokism.

Imagine Arn and Tony together…..I Like the proposed out of time mechanic for Tony but would add 2 for pin and maybe L3O….LOL.

Isn't the TNT set usually in the summer CYCLE?
