Lindy Hinkelman Will Be Inducted Into the NFBC's Hall of Fame on Saturday, March 31st in Las Vegas!!! CONGRATS LINDY!!
Lindy has more than earned this right to join Stephen Jupinka and Shawn Childs as the only players in the NFBC's Hall of Fame. He has become the only two-time overall champion of the NFBC's Main Event -- and the only person in the industry's history of high-stakes events to win two national titles. His record says it all and I'll update it here for all to see:
