Arnold Schwarzenegger will be inducted into the celebrity wing of WWE’s Hall of Fame this March during WrestleMania Week in San Jose, California.
WWE announced Monday that the former California governor will be inducted at a ceremony to be held Saturday, March 28 at SAP Center. Mr. Schwarzenegger, a seven-time Mr. Olympia winner, has been a longtime fan of wrestling and even inducted wrestler Bruno Sammartino into the Hall in 2013.
“We are honored to induct Arnold Schwarzenegger into the WWE Hall of Fame,” WWE executive Paul “Triple H” Levesque said in a statement. “His larger-than-life on- and off-screen presence translated perfectly into the world of WWE, resulting in many memorable moments.”
Other celebrities already inducted into the Hall include Mike Tyson, Pete Rose, Donald Trump, Mr. T and Drew Carey.
