Tokyo Sports Newspaper reports that IGF is starting a Puroresu Hall of Fame after being inspired by Antonio Inoki's induction to the WWE Hall of Fame.

The inaugural ceremony will be held at an IGF card on 2010/05/09 in Osaka. The first inductees are Rikidōzan, Giant Baba, Lou Thesz, and Karl Gotch.

Inoki commented that he would rather want Masahiro Chōno to handle something like this. I guess that's because Chōno is friends with more people in the business than Inoki currently is (again, just guessing).

Jahno.
