Wrestling Convention in Charlotte

[cawthon777 0]

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere but Charlotte, NC will be hosting a Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Convention at the end of this month. As college is only a few hours away, I'm very much considering going to at least one of the days (probably Saturday).

 

Tickets are $28 for one day, $38 for two. VIP tickets (for both days) are $100 (and probably worth it from what I've read).

The Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Legends Convention & Fanfest

Saturday, January 31 and Sunday, February 1, 2004

 

This event will be like no other. Old-school wrestling fans have longed for the opportunity to meet, chat with and get autographs from the legendary performers from their childhood. The two-day Fanfest takes place at the Hilton University Place Hotel on Saturday, January 31 and Sunday, February 1 and will feature autograph signings with each of the wrestling legends. The convention hall will echo with the sights and sounds of the good ol' days. Many interactive events have been planned. Fans will watch, as the legendary TV voices of Mid-Atlantic Wrestling, Bob Caudle and David Crockett, interview many of these great performers once again, at ringside no less. (Yes, there will even be one of the old-time NWA wrestling rings in the middle of the convention hall.) For fans and enthusiasts, it will be a wonderful and special opportunity to celebrate a great era in wrestling history.

 

The legendary voices of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling, Bob Caudle, David Crockett, and Les Thatcher will interview each of the legends ringside at Fanfest!

 

Saturday Fanfest Autograph Signings Include Magnum T.A., Masked Superstar, Ron Garvin, Greg Valentine, Arn Anderson, Ole Anderson, Dory Funk Jr., Jim Cornette, Bobby Eaton, Jimmy Valiant, Sir Oliver Humperdink, Johnny Weaver, Buddy Landel, Bobby Fulton, Don & Rocky Kernodle, Tommy Young, Jim Nelson, George South, Gary Royal

 

Sunday Fanfest Autograph Signings to Feature Dusty Rhodes, Ricky Steamboat, The Rock-n-Roll Express, Tully Blanchard, J.J. Dillon, Jimmy Garvin, Ivan Koloff, Tony Atlas, Penny Banner, Tommy Angel, David Isley, Gene Ligon

Yeah, I posted it in the Old School thread.

 

I would absolutely love to go but me finding out about it so late and living in southeast Missouri 700 miles away from Charlotte.....unless by some bizarre miracle,it doesn't look good for me going.

 

The book weeps......

They better pray that the Panthers lose this weekend then, or else there convention is taking place Super Bowl Sunday, with a local team participating. Might adversely effect their attendance, eh?
