This page is where we pay homage to the greatest wrestlers to have ever stepped into an RCW ring. The names that you will find on this list are the best and brightest of Royal Championship Wrestling's superstars; people that have made an impression on this federation that will last far longer than their time in the ring.
Inductees into the RCW Hall of Fame are nominated and voted upon by Royal Championship Wrestling's constituents semi-annually as part of the RCW Awards.



Fr: Austin, TX
Ht: 6'3"
Wt: 255

Final Record (W-L-D): 16-10-3

Titles Won: RCW World Championship (3)

Significant Notes: First RCW World Champion, first three-time RCW World Champion


The first RCW World Champion set a standard for the title that has stood the test of time... though his namesake statue has long since fallen, K.C. Colossus' reputation still stands larger than life in Royal Championship Wrestling. With three World Title reigns and some of the greatest matches in RCW history, Colossus was one of the most decorated competitors in RCW history, but he was always a gentle giant, not only taking RCW's young wrestlers to school in the ring, but tutoring them outside of it as well. Every wrestler that walks down the aisle at Davis Memorial Palace is treading in epic footsteps, and Colossus' boots won't soon be easily filled.



Fr: New York, NY
Ht: 6'4"
Wt: 260

Final Record (W-L-D): 36-29-4

Titles Won: RCW World Championship (4), RCW North American Championship (1)

Significant Notes: First four-time RCW World Champion, member/leader of RCW's longest-running stable (The Corporation)


His very name sent chills through entire rosters... though his legal name has never been breathed by an RCW wrestler, he has always been simply The Executive, and simply decimating. RCW's CEO, at the head of The Corporation, established power and spread fear by any means necessary. His cold, calculating manner, immense experience, and near-flawless technical skills (not to mention his utter disregard for the rulebook) led him to an RCW-record 4 World Title reigns and established him as RCW's all-time greatest foil. Every wrestler that stepped in against the Executive was forewarned that "domination was only the beginning"... and those wrestlers soon found out that the Hostile Takeover was the end.



{Steve Cox & "Stunning" Sonny Smyth}
{6'3", 265; 5'11", 210}
Combined Wt: 475

Final Record (W-L-D): 17-11-3

Titles Won: RCW World Tag Team Championship (3)

Significant Notes: First three-time RCW World Tag Team Champions


Eric Clapton had no idea... Sonny Smyth and Steve Cox weren't just Wonderful Tonight, but every time they stepped between the ropes. The narcissistic duo loved to pose, preen, and talk trash, but inside the ring they were truly twin tornadoes, bulldozing their way to multiple Tag Title reigns. As one of the best tag teams RCW has ever seen and the first inducted into the Hall of Fame, the Wonders led a career in which they were always in the thick of the title picture. Their laser-sharp teamwork and ability to cut a killer promo have made them the prototypes for every RCW duo that has followed, though few can match up to the skill and talent of the two men that were Simply Wonder-ful.



Fr: Chicago, IL
Ht: 6'10"
Wt: 295

Final Record (W-L-D): 46-24-4

Titles Won: RCW World Championship (1), RCW North American Championship (2), RCW United States Championship (1)

Significant Notes: Triple Crown Winner, first to ever win Conqueror's Quest, Winningest wrestler in RCW history


By the end of his career, Jack McGriff's nickname didn't apply... after all, he was so often the one being stalked and not the other way around. That sort of thing happens when you win RCW's Triple Crown and compete at the forefront of the Alliance, undertaking epic feuds with the Executive. The big man from the Windy City was a fan favorite and lethal between the ropes, ending numerous RCW careers and shortening many more with the Assault. The winningest wrestler in RCW history retired at the top of his game... retirement being the only time in his career where he's declared "Enough!"



Fr: Atlanta, GA
Ht: 6'6"
Wt: 310

Final Record (W-L-D): 41-29-4

Titles Won: RCW World Championship (2), RCW North American Championship (3)

Significant Notes: First three-time RCW North American Champion


It's a stupid idea to cross the train tracks when the sirens are flashing. It was an even dumber idea to cross the man known as NTJ. One of K.C. Colossus' first proteges, The Train's 5 RCW titles are a testament to his determination, grit, and unbelievable power. NTJ simply rolled over everyone who stood in his way, especially in the midst of his feuds with the Corporation. Night Train James has done battle in RCW since it opened its doors, turning in several historic performances, but more importantly showing fans everywhere what the word "heart" really means.
