Sneak Peek of the Hall of Fame The Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum held a very special "sneak peek" event on Thursday night, which was the first chance for fans to get a look at the inside of the new Hall. The PWHF has been closed to the public while work on the new building has continued steadily since the Hall relocated to Amsterdam, NY last year. On Thursday evening the waiting ended as the first group of visitors were given exclusive access to the facility.
