The great Bob Uecker will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on Saturday for his two appearances in the 1980s as an announcer for the wrestling outfit. Uecker, aka "Mr. Baseball," famously got choked by Andre the Giant during an interview at WrestleMania IV in 1988.
"Seeing the huge hands of WWE Hall of Famer Andre the Giant around Uecker's neck is a clip that became immortalized in pop culture history," said WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon. Relive the moment after the jump. The ceremony is being held in Phoenix and will be run on USA Network. Other inductees include Gorgeous George and Ted "The Million Dollar Man" DiBiase Sr.
Uecker is also a member of the Radio Hall of Fame for his ongoing work as play-by-play man for the Milwaukee Brewers. He also has had a successful acting career, mostly in baseball-centric films such as the 'Major League' franchise and a recurring role on 'Mr. Belvedere.'
