Meet the 4 Horsemen, Jake 'the Snake' Roberts and Tony Atlas on Saturday
Do you remember watching wrestling on Saturday mornings as a kid?
Well on Saturday, you can go back to those carefree days!
80s Wrestling Con is coming to the Mennen Sports Arena in Morristown. The day starts with a convention where fans can meet some of the biggest stars of the 1980s, and will end with an Independent Stars of Pro Wrestling show.
At the convention, fans can mingle with stars including Four Horsemen members Barry Windham, Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson, J.J. Dillon and Baby Doll. Also appearing are Sgt. Slaughter, Dean Malenko, Demolition, the Powers of Pain, the Young Stallions, Jake "the Snake" Roberts, Tony Atlas, Slick and Stan Hansen.
For promotor Tommy Fierro, it's one of the biggest days of the year for wrestling fans.
"Last year, we had fans from 43 states and eight countries travel to New Jersey to take part in 80s Wrestling Con," Fierro said in an email. "It's become a yearly tradition for wrestling fans all around the world and it's growing bigger and bigger every year.
"It's more than just a meet and greet, it's an experience. From 80s Wrestling Trivia, 80s Wrestling Family Feud, Pro Wrestling Karaoke, Q&As, and more- there is something for everyone. You will feel like a kid on Christmas morning the second you walk through the door at 80s Wrestling Con. If you haven't been to one yet, you owe it to your childhood to do so!"
And if you're a pro wrestling fan, you'll want to stick around because after the convention, it's time for an ISPW show, including a steel cage match between two of the biggest stars of the promotion, Danny Doring and Crowbar. Belltime for the wrestling is slated for 4 p.m.
Former ISPW Heavyweight Champion Richard Holliday will battle Darius Carter in a dream match, Atlas will take on Justin Corino and the Powers of Pain will team with The Now to battle Devastation Inc.
Tickets to the 80s Wrestling Con and the ISPW show are available.
