Original Plans Revealed for 2024 TNA Hall of Fame Inductee

TNA Wrestling aimed to honor former star Monty Brown by inducting him into the TNA Hall of Fame at this year’s Bound For Glory pay-per-view, but it seems their efforts were met with an unexpected challenge.

On the latest episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, Matt Hardy revealed that Brown was strongly considered for the prestigious honor—however, the promotion had difficulty contacting him.

“I know there was a big push from a lot of the boys, and I’m down with this too,” Hardy shared. “Monty Brown was someone that was up for consideration, but it seemed like they were having a hard time getting ahold of Monty Brown. He’s off the grid it seems like. He would’ve been a really killer candidate too, considering it was in Detroit.”

The announcement for this year’s Hall of Fame inductees, made during the October 17 episode of TNA iMPACT, confirmed that wrestling veteran Rhino and late TNA executive Bob Ryder will be honored at Bound For Glory 2024. Both selections have received widespread praise, with many fans believing the recognition is long overdue.

While Brown, a fan-favorite known for his powerhouse style and iconic “Pounce” finisher, was ultimately not included in this year’s Hall of Fame class, Hardy’s comments indicate that his name remains in the conversation for future inductions.

With Bound For Glory set to take place in Detroit, where Brown made a name for himself, his induction this year would have felt like a fitting tribute. However, TNA’s inability to reach him suggests that Brown, who has largely stayed out of the public eye in recent years, may not be ready to re-enter the spotlight just yet.
