Filsinger Games proudly welcomes a true two-sport titan to the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Hall of Fame Set VI — Leo Nomellini!
Before he ever stepped into the squared circle, Nomellini was a gridiron great — a 14-season stalwart for the San Francisco 49ers and a Pro Football Hall of Famer (1969). But it was in the wrestling ring where “Leo the Lion” roared just as fiercely. A powerhouse in Northern California, Nomellini tangled with the best of the best, including a legendary showdown with Lou Thesz in 1955 that saw him controversially declared NWA World Champion — a decision later reversed, but never forgotten. He also captured multiple championships, including a world tag team championship with Wilbur Snyder, and remained a respected figure in the sport as a promoter and special referee. With his induction into the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame, Leo Nomellini’s legacy as a crossover icon is unquestioned.
Will Nomellini be able to replicate his tag team success with Snyder or win the World Championship that eluded him? Find out when Leo Nomellini joins John Layfield in the TNT HOF VI set! The Tragos and Thesz Set VI will be available this summer. Pre-orders for all three 2025 Cycle 2 releases will start in early June! The new games will have a special prerelease at GalactiCon 36 in Baltimore, MD on June 27-29 and will begin mailing in July to all customers.
