Bob Uecker To Be Inducted Into WWE Hall Of Fame
Baseball announcer Bob Uecker will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Saturday for appearing twice as a wrestling announcer in the 1980s. During one WWE appearance, Uecker was choked by the late Andre the Giant during a 1988 “WrestleMania” interview. Although Uecker’s stint in professional wrestling was brief, WWE CEO Vince McMahon said his involvement helped make the organization a hit with millions of fans. “Seeing the huge hands of WWE Hall of Famer Andre the Giant around Uecker’s neck is a clip that became immortalized in pop culture history,” McMahon said. The induction ceremony will be held in Phoenix and air on the USA Network.
