Wow! A cool museum if you are a fan on professional wrestling. So much to see. Only thing needed would be a small gift shop so kids could buy their favorite Wrestler toy or tee shirts. Its was worth going in.

This place cost 3$ and delivers a priceless collection. It was amazing, every inch has something to look at, touch, read or take pictures of. The man running it made it even better, he was extremely nice and spilling over with knowledge about wrestling in the old days, all the way to the present. He encouraged us to take pictures, ask questions and just enjoy. I will be back for sure, too much to absorb in one visit. Highly recommend.

Amazing place with tons of awesome memorabilia. If your lucky you may get to shake hands with the likes of retired pro boxer Pat Duran or retired pro wrestler Cowboy Johnny Mantell during a visit. Plan to spend at least 2 hours there cause theres so much to see. There are tvs set up with vintage video footage playing and even a full size wrestling/boxing ring there for you to see. If you bring young kids there is a special section set up for them to play video games or color. This place is a must see!!!

I enjoyed the walk down Memory Lane, but it seems a little thrown together. I was hoping for sections for each era and the like. The ceiling was also leaking from the rain.

This is a well put together history of wrestling,, small but contains so much memorabilia and growing everyday,, kids areas are super cool-- was there when a mother and her 2 boys visited and they were having a ball in with the stuffed wrestlers area,, good for any age wrestling fan-- a daughter brought her very elderly father in his wheelchair and his face just lit up when he started looking around,, over 100yrs of wrestling represented,,also very low admission as its non profit-- added benefit for my husband was getting an autographed pic from the curator -championship wrestler from the 70-80s John Mantel-- wud recommend for any fan

Great Museum!!! FUN & Informative for all ages. Not a fan of professional wrestling? You will be when u come out of this museum. We have been twice in the last 4 days. Today we took 11 & 14 yr old granddaughters. They loved it. It was a birthday trip for 3 of us, then lunch next door.

I really loved my visit here. I have never really been into pro wrestling but this place is definitely worth the $3 admission. Its just oozing character from every corner. The people that run it have a tremendous love for this sport and could talk to you about it for days if you let them and they have tons of personal stories about traveling with wrestlers from the past, it truly is a beautiful thing they have been able to do with thier passion. I only wish I knew more about the sport so I could truly appreciate thier work. It would make for a quarkey date too, I went to the coffee shop next door to wait for them to open at 1pm and when they did we walked right in and were greeted by 2 authentic Texans that were incredibly nice to talk to.

I went there with my dad while on vacation as one of our last stops before heading back to Missouri. I dont recall the gentleman that volunteered there but his girlfriend was K Downs Tigress. She was awesome. They was both very informative about the hall of Fame wrestlers. And as well left we wanted to take pics but I couldnt get my phone to work, I think it was full. So they took the pics and texted them to me so me and my dad would have pics to remember meeting them. It was awesome there I am glad we went out of our way to stay an extra day to go see them cause they was only open on Wednesday for now in the remodeling. Once again I am glad we stopped.

Do you like History?Do you like Awesome?Do you like Nostalgia?Do you like wrestling?If you answered yes to these things, then the PWHoF is the place for you. For me, it was a trip down memory lane, getting to see things that I hadnt thought about since childhood. Not only did it cover the early 80s (my favorite time period), it went all the way back to the beginnings and included international and midget wrestling. The museum is lovingly curated by knowledgeable staff who spent the time to introduce us and explain some of the more esoteric pieces. And if you dont care to look up that last word, have no worries. My family and I had a very enjoyable afternoon there. I can honestly say this hall of Fame is the closest thing to sharks with frikking laser beams in Wichita Falls.

I love this place!!! Very nice people retired wrestler Mr. Johnny Manzell runs the place and him and his staff are so cool and friendly!! Real cool Fritz Von Erichs desk calendar from 1981 (copy) they let you look thru. Videos of classic matches. Cool great quality replica championship belts. Real ring attire from every major wrestler except not too much of Ric Flair. Loved the real ring bell, ringing it just like the old days. Real wrestling ring from 1890s. Must see all wrestling fans!
