On June 05 2004, the Holiday Inn in Carteret, NJ (just minutes off the NJ Turnpike, Exit #12) will play host to some of the greatest legends the professional wrestling game has to offer, as well as vendors from around the country. This will be a great place to reunite with some of the stars that captivated audiences throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s, share memories with other fans and collect autographs, merchandise and other memorabilia. The convention will culminate with both a Q&A featuring several of the legends (hosted by "Luscious" Johnny Valiant) and the critically acclaimed one man show: "An Evening With Johnny Valiant."
Guests Include:
Ivan Putski, "The Polish Power". One of the most popular grapplers to ever grace the squared circle. His easy-going attitude and enormous power made him one of the top draws of the 70s and 80s.
Jumpin Jim Brunzell & B. Brian Blair, "The Killer Bees". Tag team specialists, great mat wrestlers and aerial artists they thrilled the fans throughout the 80s & 90s.
Ivan Koloff, "The Russian Bear". This former WWE champion is the man who ended the reign of Bruno Sammartino. From the 60s to now, Ivan has been a force in the world of pro wrestling.
Nikita Koloff, "The Russian Nightmare". This powerhouse made his debut in 1985 and revolutionized the NWA. As half of the Super Powers with Dusty Rhodes, Koloff made his mark in the grappling world and became a mainstay of such events as "The War Games".
Ken Patera, "The Olympic Strongman". Before Mark Henry, there was Ken Patera whose legendary feats of strength remain unmatched. Besides incredible power, he was a skilled wrestler and won championships in every region in which he competed. A perennial WWWF main-eventer and title challenger.
Stan "The Lariat" Hansen, The Badman from Borger, Texas. The man who broke Brunos neck and one of the most feared and vilified American grapplers to ever hit the Island of Japan. In a rare personal appearance, this former AWA World Champion looks forward to meeting his fans.
"Luscious" Johnny Valiant, The 2X WWWF Tag Team Champion was one half of the legendary Valiant Brothers, selling out Madison Square Garden four times in one year. A WWE Hall of Famer he was manager of the "Dream Team"- Brutus Beefcake & Greg Valentine, a play by play man with Gorilla Monsoon and currently on the road with his comedy hit, "An Evening With Johnny Valiant."
"Beautiful" Bobby Eaton - As one half of the Midnight Express with both Dennis Condrey and Sweet Stan Lane, along with manager Jim Cornette, he may have been the best tag team wrestler ever.
Ref Dick Woehrle- One of wrestling's most respected wrestling refs. He was right in that ring for many of the classics of our youth.
Rick Martell- This former AWA World Champion was also known in the WWF as "The Model." A worldwide superstar, he makes a rare East Coast appearance at the Wrestling Reunion.
Vader- One of the greatest American stars ever in Japan, this hardcore hero returns to the East Coast after a lengthy absence. Presented by Jersey All Pro Wrestling.
Mike Awesome- A former ECW champ, a major name in Japan and a hardcore heroe. Presented by Jersey All Pro Wrestling.
Lanny "The Genius" Poffo- The son of Angelo Poffo and the brother of the "Macho Man," this man is one of wrestling's most literate and colorful characters.
More legends of the squared circle will be on hand as Wrestling Reunion is still in negotiation with several icons of pro wrestling.
