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 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, 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:

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 70’s
and 80’s.
