WrestleReunion, the biggest wrestling convention on the West Coast will return to Los Angeles the weekend of 1/27-1/29 at the Westin LAX. The three day event will feature FOUR wrestling cards, signings, question and answer sessions and more.

The weekend kicks off on Friday 1/27 with exclusive Q&A Sessions with Mick Foley and the New Age Outlaws, a presentation on the history of wrestling in Los Angeles and a live event presented by ArenaChicks. Those events will be only for VIP Ticketholders.
