Said Landis, "I feel it is fitting that we honor the first inductee into the WCEHoF with this statue. Many have complained that the 20 square meter plaque of Moore, the five hour audio-visual tour of Moore's life, the 35 wax figures of Moore at various times in his incredible life, and the virtual tour of his body that we have in the Hall of Fame building aren't enough to honor this great Wuxi Expat."
Asked why the statue wasn't the Chinese traditional height of 88m, Landis said that Moore stood tall among the great religious figures of humanity.
Asked if he expect protest from Wuxi Buddhists and Christians for whom 88m statues of Buddha and Jesus have been erected, Landis said he wasn't worried in the least. "When they see the 89m Big Harry Moore, with his divine attributes, they will thank the heavens that such a man could exist."
