Universally recognized as one of the highest honors one can receive in the professional wrestling industry, the “Iron Mike” Award signifies that one has reached the top of both the wrestling industry as well as outside ventures. 

The recipient of the “Iron Mike” Award should be “immediately recognizable” and, perhaps more importantly, must be seen as a humanitarian.  The recipients of this award have included actors, authors, Olympians and politicians.
