HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES -- engraved plaque

Edward Ledeger, Jr. of California

NWO: Devon "The Hatchet" Balmaglia (BBL) 1,342-763-101, $3,973,000 *14
NWO: Edward Ledeger, Jr. (BBL) 536-461-54, $5,000,000 *6
NWO: Switch Blade Louie (BBL) 1,218-779-111, $4,071,900 *22
Sadly, Edward's wrestlers are being inducted posthumously, as he passed away on February 27th. This veteran of the United States Navy won 3 federation titles during his managerial career, coached 9 previous wrestlers to Hall of Fame status, and claimed more than a dozen titles in various IWA-wide contests. Matt Riley's Senor Lucha donated $2.6 million so Edward Ledeger, Jr. (the wrestler) would be eligible for retirement. Managers in the BBL will soon be holding a tournament in Edward's honor.
