Basketball Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania on Friday.
Rodman, a five-time NBA champion with the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls, has a four-match pro wrestling career, with three of those coming in WCW.
He made his WCW debut in 1997 and famously skipped a practice during the 1998 NBA Finals to appear on “WCW Monday Nitro,” where he set up a tag team match in which he partnered with Hulk Hogan to face Diamond Dallas Page and Karl Malone.
