NWHOFThe following press release was issued to promote Stan Hansen’s appearance at the The National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum.

The National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum added another name to its historic George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame induction weekend. Stan Hansen, 2016 inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame, will attend the Hall of Fame weekend on July 22-23.
