All above would have been cool to see 20 yrs ago..
But it doesn’t look like it is the WWE like many of us speculated.
This is from PWInsider.com
The wrestling event being presented at the New York Mets’ Citi Field will be a “Legends of Wrestling” event on Sunday 6/7 featuring Ric Flair, Bill Goldberg and Bret Hart, among others, appearing at 3 PM.
The plan is to have autograph signings with legends in the stadium followed by six matches presented on the field. It will be the first-ever live wrestling event in the stadium
Hey, so something that looked pretty cool and could have been a big event is just something that is like the big event next door at terrace on the park except with 6 matches of “legends”.
Big time fail.
Now confirmed by the Mets….
