An update from WWE Hall of Famer Ricky “the Dragon” Steamboat:

Amen on that edit button request, Ricky.

Wolf Studio tweeted out the following earlier this morning:

This from TMART:

Here’s hoping that Nord will one day make it to a convention in the North East!

Wrestlecon has confirmed that the Dragon Gate talent will no longer be appearing at their convention and have released a detailed statement via Twitter:

While this is an unfortunate circumstance, kudos to Wrestlecon for their transparency with their customers. Again, they are doing all that they can and still have a fantastic lineup despite some cancelations.

Let’s do a quick rundown of some important WrestleCon guest cancellations:

Sting was pulled from WrestleCon by the WWE. WrestleCon issues the following statement:

Also:

Fingers crossed! Wrestlecon is doing all they can to make this work and here’s hoping they can pull off a minor miracle.

Ron Simmons was pulled from his Friday WrestleCon appearance, meaning the Nation of Domination photo op is NOT happening. Simmons is still scheduled for Saturday (for now):

---

Finally, the Dragon Gate guys are now listed as cancelled on their Detailed Schedule:

We are currently awaiting word as to why.

I know cancelations are frustrating but Wrestlecon is still putting out one hell of a lineup and I cannot wait for Friday and Saturday.

Some unfortunate news from the WrestleCon Twitter account:

Some breaking news from WrestleCon:

Ventura just appeared at Big Event XVI.

WrestleCon’s detailed schedule has Ventura’s prices as $60 for an autograph or photo op and $100 for a combo.

With Big Event XVI in the rearview mirror, it’s time to turn our attention towards the annual mecca of professional wrestling conventions: WrestleCon.

WrestleCon is a 2-Day wrestling convention that’s held annually during every WrestleMania weekend. Their website advertises over 200+ guests in attendance (!!!), making it by far the biggest pro wrestling convention to hit the East Coast in quite sometime.

A 2-Day wrestling convention with over 200 guests advertised is…a lot. A lot, a lot, A LOT and, if you’re like me, it can be a bit overwhelming for a first timer.

First and foremost, I advise all of you to follow their invaluable Twitter account. They’re fairly receptive to answering fan questions and will clarify a few grey areas. I realize that some of you may not be on social media (a good thing!) and, even if you are, it’s easy to miss out on a tweet that contains key info.

In Part 1 of the series, I’m aiming to provide a breakdown of WrestleCon: where is it, when is it, admission, and highlight important steps to take before the madness begins. Oh, and I’ll be sure to cover exclusive meet & greet opportunities. Let’s get to it.
