A first burst of guests scheduled for April 2018's Wrestlecon event over Wrestlemania weekend in New Orleans have been announced.
WWE Hall of Famers Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, Road Warrior Animal, Teddy Long, Tony Atlas, and Paul Orndorff have all been announced as appearing and signing.
Also announced thus far are Eric Bischoff, Demolition, Rick & Scott Steiner, Brutus Beefcake, Billy Gunn, Savio Vega, Los Boriquas, Mongo McMichael, Hernandez, Kevin Sullivan, The Headbangers, Jazz, Rodney Mack, Sabu, Shane Douglas, Mil Muertes, Drago, Thunder Rosa, Marty Elias, Saraya Knight, Allie, Sienna, Rosemary, Laurel Van Ness and SoCal Val.
The Wrestlecon convention will be expanded this year from two days to three, with autograph signings, meet and greets and photo opportunities on Friday (9 AM - 3 PM) and Saturday (9 AM - 3 PM) while Sunday (9 AM - 3 PM) is being organized with the idea of being something of a pre-Wrestlemania tailgate sort of event with entertainment, as Wrestlecon is within walking distance of the Superdome. Since the event is expanding over three days this time around, it will also likely close late afternoon as opposed to early evening, keeping themselves from competing with the live events taking place all over the city that weekend.
The current live event schedule:
Thursday 4/5 6 PM to 8:30 PM– Wildkat Entertainment
Thursday 4/5 9:30 PM - WrestleCon Supershow
Friday 4/6 12 Noon to 2:30 PM – The Crash (Mexico)
Friday 4/6 4 PM to 6:30 PM – Revolution Pro (UK)
Friday 4/6 9 PM - Impact Wrestling
Saturday 4/7 11 AM to 2 PM – Pro Wrestling Revolver “Pancakes and Piledrivers”
Saturday 4/7 4 PM til 6:30 PM – Combat Zone Wrestling
Saturday 4/7 One hour after WWE NXT event ends - House of Hardcore
Wrestlemania Sunday 4/8, Wrestlecon will hold its annual Mania Moments Breakfast.
Tickets for a three day pass to the April 2018 festivities as well as Wrestlecon's Wrestlemania Sunday 'Mania Moments' Brunch are now on sale at www.Wrestlecon.com. Tickets for individual convention sessions will also go on sale at a later date.
Wrestlecon and all convention-related events, including autograph signings, photo opportunities, Q&As, live podcasts, etc. will be held The Sheraton on Canal Street.
