The National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum will welcome eight of the top independent professional wrestlers from across the country Thursday-Saturday.

The first-ever "Hall of Fame Classic" is an eight-man tournament showcasing elite independent wrestling talent, including former WWE star Shelton Benjamin, who is also a former collegiate national champion from the University of Minnesota. The tournament begins at 1 p.m. on Friday (July 21) and the final match will take place during the Impact Pro Wrestling show at 7 p.m. inside the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center.

The "Hall of Fame Classic" coincides with the 2017 George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, which will be held Saturday night, also at the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center.
