Welcome to the home of the Michigan Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. The Michigan Chapter is a direct extension of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Chapter and Museum in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

The Michigan Chapter provides outreach and support for the the National Hall. Our chapter was formed to honor committed coaches, officials, contributors and other deserving individuals.

The 2008 Hall of Fame banquet was held Sunday, May 18 at the Radisson Hotel in Lansing. Click here to learn more about this year's class. Next year's banquet is schedule for May 17. Michigan Chapter officers recently visited the National Hall of Fame. Click here.

We honor individuals in three ways:

The Lifetime Service Award Program, coordinated by the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, is designed to honor and recognize dedicated wrestling people for their years of commitment to young people. The award is not about win/loss records. It is about a person’s dedicated efforts to help young people to not only succeed in wrestling, but also in life.

The Medal of Courage Award is given to a wrestler who has overcome overwhelming adversity to be successful on the mats and in his own life.

The Outstanding American Award is presented to an individual who was a former wrestler and has received state or national acclaim in his/her chosen profession.

Each award recipient is permanently recognized in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame (Stillwater, Oklahoma) with an embossed name plaque, and each receives a plaque and jacket to commemorate this very special occasion.
