WrestleMania may be ~9 months away but that isn’t stopping WrestleCon from announcing several names that are scheduled to appear over WrestleMania weekend in Orlando. WrestleCon will take place Hyatt Regency in Orlando, Florida, and the following names have been announced thus far:

Obviously the most controversial name announced is “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka, who was recently declared mentally unfit to stand trail in the murder for his former girlfriend. This isn’t sitting well with many and it wouldn’t shock me if Snuka ends up canceling. This just comes across terribly for all parties involved. Shame.

For those in the New York area, SummerSlam weekend is a gigantic event loaded with incredible autograph signings.

 

Last year, I attended a free meet & greet with Charlotte and Ryback at MCU Park (although it was a grueling 3-hour wait), Paige & Seth Rollins meet & greet at the now defunct ToysRUs in Times Square (cost me about $60 and received two autographs from each, plus photos), and a Kevin Owens meet and greet at the Hot Topix located inside the Garden State Plaza (cost me the price of his t-shirt). There were loads of other signings around the area, some more expensive than others.

This year looks to be no exception. Carolines — which brought in Paul Heyman during last year’s SummerSlam weekend – will be hosting an incredible meet and greet opportunity mere hours before SummerSlam: an Edge & Christian dual meet and greet, billed as their first dual signing in 15 years.

Tickets to the event, which includes a Q&A, 1 autograph from each, and 1 professional photo op, is $150 and be purchased here.

• K&S Wrestlefest continues to add to an already stacked lineup as they’ve announced Perry Saturn and Heidenreich as its latest guests.

• The Glamour Girls – Leilani Kai and Judy Martin – are being brought in by BK Sports

• Raquel of TNA fame has been added by Ultimate Starz Promotions & G.T.G. Productions.

• ESPN’s Jonathan Coachman added by RDP Promotions.

Greetings from Mexico! I’m here until Friday, so I’m not sure how much posting I’ll do but I’m hoping to get a LOTR XXII report up by tonight.

Here’s some news for LOTR XXII:

• Early bird tickets are on sale TODAY ONLY. The discounted Superticket is $190 while G.A. is $15.

• Fit Finlay has been added by K&S Wrestlefest, who are also bringing in Ricky Steamboat.

• And major announcement regarding the Superticket format:

The biggest challenge we face each and every show is people not following simple numbering procedures of the supertickets (85 comes after 35 not before!) Therefore going forward we will be only be preserving the first 25 numbers. We are still working out the details and have been discussing 3 groups or zones after the first numbered 25. Details to follow

Please address any and all questions not answered on the website to private message only.
