Rhino, Bob Ryder to be inducted into TNA Hall of Fame

Two new inductees will be enshrined into the TNA Wrestling Hall of Fame over Bound for Glory weekend. In his hometown of Detroit, Rhino will be inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame at Bound for Glory 2024. The late Bob Ryder — who was one of the co-founders of TNA — is also being inducted. Their inductions will take place during the Bound for Glory pre-show on Saturday, October 26. The 49-year-old Rhino, a former star for ECW and WWE, has spent multiple stints in TNA/Impact and still competes for the promotion to this day. He held the NWA World Championship in 2005 while with the promotion and is a former Impact Tag Team Champion. Ryder co-founded TNA with Jeff Jarrett and Jerry Jarrett and remained with the promotion working behind the scenes until his death in 2020. TNA wrestler Eric Young will accept Ryder’s induction on behalf of his late friend. Before helping start TNA, Ryder was a wrestling journalist and worked for WCW. Director of Travel Operations was among the job titles he held in TNA. Wayne State
