2012 Hall of Heroes??
Aug 11th, 2011, 10:24am
 
Greg, has indicated that 2012 will be the last year for the Fan Fest.  Although this makes me sad, I can not argue with Greg as the task of putting together a show of this magnitude has to be mind boggling, hectic, crazy, insane, nerve racking or any other adjective you want to throw on top of that.  I heard one of the guests say this show has become the Wrestlemania of Fan Fests.  I also overheard Ted Dibiase say, see you next year, same time, different place. In speaking with several of the legends, you can genuinely tell they enjoy being at the Fest.  So hopefully Greg is playing coy and will have a Super Fan Fest or maybe a title change or something of that nature.  Although I think he is being very serious about this.  
 
So, Lets make 2012 go out with a resounding BANG! I have faith that if in fact this is the end, Greg is gonna blow the line-up out of the water (Steamboat, Von Erich and Warrior at the top of my list).    
 
Lastly, Greg wrote that he would be inducting the Crockett's into the Hall of Heroes in 2012.  A great choice as there is no doubt about their place in the NWA History we all love.  Although we do not have a "vote" in who is inducted, I would like to nominate a person.  A man who has made dreams come true, made everlasting friendships for many of us, allowed us over the last 10 years to meet people who share the same passion for "Old School Wrestling" that we all still love, a man that has allowed the legends we love to reunite with each other, a man that has contributed soo much to the current NWA and helps to keep the history alive with these Fests, a man who's Fests have often been imitated but never duplicated, the one and only GREG PRICE!!

I agree with everything in this post.  
 
 When I spoke to Harley Race on sunday, he said that he would keep coming as long as Greg invites him.  I think that simple statement speaks volumes to Greg's character and to how the legends really feel about Fanfest.
 
I would like to see Greg in the Hall of Heroes as well.  Perhaps he should receive the "Iron Man" award for nearly a decade of sleepless nights and countless hours of planning and execution in bringing all of us together every year.

No way Greg is going to allow himself to be inducted. He has always been about the legends on not himself.

This, he deserves all the credit in the world but I think even he would be the first to shoot this down.
 
Besides, don't you hate going to a show and seeing the promoter put himself over everyone else?  Grin

Most definently Greg should be in the Hall of Hero's ! This shoudnt even be a debate! Greg you should be proud of the job you have done and will continue to do! Let me just say from a soldier you gave me a great stress reliever not having to think about deployments of any kind, just a exciting time a NWA Fanfest 2011 in Atlanta GA! Best time I have had as a wrestling fan!! Thank you! GOD BLESS!

I appreciate all that Greg has done to honor the legends and put the Fanfest together each year. The fanfest is one of the personal highlights of my year. I have been every year since the debut show in 2004. I hope it continues for many more years to come. But, and this is a big but, Greg doesn't belong in the HoH as he is the creator and the creator should never being inducted into his own Hall. Also, and more importantly, the purpose is to honor wrestling legends of the past. I believe Greg would agree. I would prefer us fans honroing him in another way once he decides to no longer run Fanfests.

I certainly appreciate the sentiment and kind words, but the Hall of Heroes is for wrestling legends.
 
I've always hated when promoters/bookers make themselves the face of the promotion. I've never tried that with fanfest and certainly want to remain in the background. I'm a fan, just like you guys.
 
Thanks, though, for the kind words! Much appreciated!

Being that 2012's Fanfest is the last, and it's back in Charlotte, I'd love to see GEORGE BECKER inducted into the Hall of Heroes. He was a mainstay in Jim Crockett Promotions for twenty years straight and one of the area's all-time most popular wrestlers.
 
I know many of the younger fans have few or no memories of George, but believe me when I tell you HE WAS BIG!

In 6 years of doing In Your Head, Greg is the only promoter that has not asked to come on the show himself  Grin.

And hopefully his wife would attend to accept the award and stay for Fanfest.  She was the original Joyce Grable.  A photo op with that Joyce and our more familiar Joyce who gained more fame with the name would be pretty cool.

2012 VIP "All Access" Passes and Hall of Heroes tickets go on sale at 12 Midnight tonight (Eastern time,) at http://www.nwalegends.com/2012/vip.htm  Refresh the page at Midnight and you'll see a link to purchase.  
 
Next year's weekend will be very special to me. The focus will definitely be back on Charlotte and the Mid-Atlantic territory, and I'm happy to say that five members of the Crockett family will be inducted into the 2012 Hall of Heroes. It will be a fitting end, so to speak, to an incredible journey!

Greg,
 
Even though the wife and I are rookies at this I want you to know that you deserve all the praise that you are getting on here.  You have always done right by Devona and I.  It was the thrill of a lifetime for me to sit with Stan Hansen at Hall of Heroes.  Thank you again.  just a warning though if you bring in Arn Anderson and I get to sit with him next year at hall of heroes I will probably hug you again.  Wink
 
Just letting you know.
