Memphis Legend Receives Ring!!


Jimmy Valiant had a pleasant surprise for him. There was a Fed Ex package waiting for him. Inside the package was a stunning WWE Hall of Fame ring and a personal signed letter from Vince McMahon congratulating Jimmy Valiant on behalf of the World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc for his lifetime achievements in the sport of professional wrestling.

Months ago, Jimmy's good friend Howard Finkel called and asked Jimmy what size ring he had. Jimmy assumed Howard was talking about his wrestling ring at BWC so he explained to him about his wrestling ring size. Howard Finkel then said, "No, Jimmy, what size ring do you wear on your finger?" Howard went on to say that WWE was making all of their Hall of Famers, Hall of Fame rings.

Below are pictures of Jimmy's Hall of Fame ring from when he was inducted into the World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Fame on November 16, 1996.
