The Mid-South Legends Fanfest, featuring wrestling's legendary heroes and villains alongside a bevy of today's top superstars and future legends, takes place Friday, April 4, 2014 at the historic Sigur Center in Chalmette, Louisiana, formerly known as the Saint Bernard Civic Center and one of the regular stops on the old Mid-South wrestling circuit.

Some of the greatest names associated with professional wrestling in the past 50 years will be here, not only to renew old friendships (and rivalries,) but to meet and greet and talk over old times with their fans.

The Mid-South Legends Fanfest is a "dream come true" for any old-school wrestling enthusiast. It affords us an opportunity to meet, chat with and get autographs from the legendary performers from our childhood, photo opportunities with all of the wrestlers, question-and-answer sessions, live wrestling action showcasing some of today's top talents and future legends, and a vendors area with every kind of wrestling memorabilia imagineable; basically, "everything under the sun" that a wrestling fan could want.

Featured legends include Cowboy Bill Watts, the Rock-n-Roll Express, Jim Cornette and his Midnight Express, Mr. Wrestling II, Superstar Bill Dundee, Kamala the Ugandan Giant, the Fantastics, Mr. Olympia, Sheepherder Luke, Porkchop Cash and Dark Journey. The day's festivities will be hosted by TNA Knockout SoCal Val.

VIP-only Question-and Answer sessions will showcase some of Mid-South wrestling's greatest names and allow fans a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ask questions they may have wondered about. A morning "Breakfast Of Champions" Q&A features two of the greatest tag teams of all time, the Rock-n-Roll Express and Midnight Express, alongside manager Jim Cornette and former matchmaker Superstar Bill Dundee. In the evening, Platinum VIP "All Access" Pass holders will enjoy a nice Cajun dinner followed by an intimate interactive discussion with former North American champion and Mid-South promoter Cowboy Bill Watts.

Additionally, many vendors will have "booth guests," including ECW original Tommy Dreamer, former WWE Diva Kaitlyn, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine and Marcus "Buff" Bagwell.

The "Battle Lines" Supercard, an evening of live wrestling action, will cap off the day's events with the inaugural "JYD Memorial Cup" Battle Royal, in honor of the late, great Junkyard Dog. Competitors from at least eight wrestling organizations will do battle on this huge seven-match card. Battle lines will be drawn when wrestlers from different eras and areas of the country square off.

All VIP "All Access" Pass holders will have early admission beginning at 9 a.m.

Platinum VIP "All Access" Pass holders will have exclusive admission to the Autograph Stage where they'll receive two free autographs from each of the featured legends.

All VIP "All Access" Pass holders will have first access to all photo op sessions, exclusive admission to the two awesome Question-and-Answer sessions, and a reserved Ringside seat for Friday night's live "Battle Lines" wrestling supercard! Throw in a free fanfest t-shirt, a copy of the full-color souvenir program and a VIP "All Access" Pass with neck lanyard and you have the ultimate VIP hookup!

VIP "All Access" Passes start at just $99 and are on sale now at this link. Any remaining VIP "All Access" Passes will be available for purchase at our Registration Booth the day of the event.

There is also a $19 General Admission ticket available for daytime festivities, as well as individual tickets for the live wrestling matches in the evening.
