The EAW Hall of Fame is a hall of fame for professional wrestling personalities maintained by EAW. The inagural ceremony was conducted on March 7, 2009 during an episode of Showdown. During the episode, the concept of the EAW Hall of Fame was introduced as well as several dates in the future where names would be announced for the first Hall of Fame Class. For these inductions, ceremonies were held to formally induct the candidates from 2008 to the present. Ceremonies have been held yearly since the inception of the Hall of Fame, with the exception of 2013 and 2019.
The 2009 Hall of Fame ceremony was broadcasted live as a separate show hosted by the EAW, but no official footage was kept of the event. Since its inception in 2009, the Hall of Fame ceremony has been packaged as part of the annual Pain for Pride festivities.
Although a building has never been built to represent the Hall of Fame, EAW has looked into constructing a facility for the Hall of Fame. In 2009, Andy Dominguez, then-Executive Vice President of Global Media of EAW, stated that EAW had been storing wrestling memorabilia in a warehouse for years, with all items categorized and dated in case a facility is created.
As of 2020, there have been a total of 50 inductees, 2 group inductions (consisting of 8 wrestlers within those groups). Extreme Enigma and Brody Sparks are the only two members to be inducted posthumously.
