History

In an effort to recognize and chronicle the names of its past, the LPW Hall of Fame was announced in 2006 when Lords of Pain Wrestling operated under the Psychotic Wrestling Alliance name. The first inductees were selected by a poll amongst the promotion's roster. The ceremony was originally scheduled to be held before the Altered Reality III pay-per-view, but was postponed until the spring of 2007. The event took place at the Rocket City Music Hall on April 24, 2007. Stone, Stanman, and Snapple were the first inductees.
