Larry Zbyszko Confirmed for 2015 WWE Hall of Fame Class

World Wrestling Entertainment will be announcing the latest inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame during the March 16 edition of “Monday Night Raw.”

Rolling Stone has confirmed that “The Living Legend” Larry Zbyszko will be the inductee:

“My gut feeling over the years was that probably someday, sooner or later, I’d be getting in – and not just because of the long career I had,” Zbyszko laughs. “I’m a fan at heart; I love this business, and the Hall of Fame is an awesome part of the business. This has been my life, and if I had to do it again, I’d do it all the same – except maybe not get married so many times.”

“I already have a speech in my head; it kind of just popped in there, because it’s the story of my dream – to become like my hero Bruno Sammartino. And I’ll also thank the people who helped me along the way. I’ve always considered myself one of the boys – everyone calls me ‘Sir’ these days, but I’m not that old!”

The piece notes that WWE Hall of Famer Bruno Sammartino will be the one inducting Zbyszko.

WWE has also confirmed the induction:

It was reported over a month ago by PWInsider.com that Zbyszko was expected to be inducted this year.

He’s a former World Wide Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champion, WCW World Tag Team Champion and WCW World Television Champion.

Zbyszko will join “Macho Man” Randy Savage, Rikishi, The Bushwackers, Alundra Blayze and Arnold Schwarzenegger as part of the 2015 class.

Editor’s Note

I wasn’t old enough to see a lot of his work. My biggest memory of Zbyszko was his commentary for “Monday Nitro” and the way he’d always signal to the crowd.
