There are a few others they've honored.In honor of Presidents’ Day on Monday.
Abe Lincoln is the only President in the Wrestling Hall of Fame. This is back when towns had champions and would challenge other towns champions.
Abe only had 1 loss which I was surprised to learn was not to Rickson Gracie.

Abraham Lincoln was given the "Outstanding American" award in 1992, Theodore Roosevelt was given it in 1993. I think there are some others. A pretty decent amount of US presidents have a wrestling background.
