On November 13, 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 a Q&A featuring several of the legends (hosted by WBAI-FM DJ Evan Ginzburg).

Superstar guests include:
Baron Von Raschke:
One of wrestlings greatest villains, he held titles galore including the WWA World Heavyweight belt which he won from legendary Dick the Bruiser, the Mid-Atlantic TV title (defeating Ricky Steamboat), the NWA World Tag Team titles with both Greg Valentine and Paul Jones (where they defeated Ric Flair and Blackjack Mulligan), the Georgia Heavyweight belt and the AWA Tag Team Titles with The Crusher. A two time All-American amateur wrestler, he won the bronze medal at the 1963 World games and qualified for the 1964 Olympic team. Von Raschke main-evented all the major territories and even headlined Chicagos huge Comiskey Park in 1970, losing two of three falls to Verne Gagne. He makes a rare East Coast appearance at Wrestling Reunion II.

The Warlord
At 65, 323 pounds, this massive warrior has wrestled since 1986 and was one half of the Powers of Pain with the Barbarian. Appearing on all the top PPVs of the era and in a main-event arena run vs. Hulk Hogan, he is a former NWA Central States Tag Team Champion and a WAR World 6 Man Tag Team Champion (with Bob Backlund and Scott Putski).

Baby Doll
The daughter of Texas promoter Nick Roberts and successful lady wrestler Lorraine Johnson, Nickla Baby Doll" Roberts grew up around the wrestling business and became one of the greatest valets in pro wrestling history with both Tully Blanchard and- after a classic angle- with Dusty Rhodes. The Perfect 10," Baby Doll lends sex appeal to Wrestle Reunion II.

Haku/Meng
Trained by Giant Baba, hes wrestled under many names including Prince Tonga, King Tonga, Haku, King Haku and Meng (WCW). Regardless of his moniker, he is one of the fiercest competitors ever, with notable feuds against Demolition, The British Bulldogs, Goldberg, the Undertaker and Kane. He is a former WWF Tag Team Champion as one half of the Colossal Connection with Andre the Giant (having defeated Demolition) and was one half of the Islanders with Tama, managed by Bobby Heenan. In a notable angle he became King of the WWF and was known as King Haku." He was also part of Kevin Sullivans Dungeon of Doom in WCW and was the last WCW Hardcore title holder, defeating Terry Funk. Haku makes a rare autograph appearance at Wrestling Reunion II.

There will be several more major names to be announced in the weeks and months ahead.

Bargain golden tickets will be available with details released later this week.

If you attended Wrestling Reunion I in June you saw nearly 700 fans and dozen of vendors come together to honor many of the greatest names in the history of the sport.
