She and Mean Gene picked the names out of the barrel during the WCW Battle Bowl PPV in 93, I believe. If that's the same FiFi. |

Yeah, Fifi was the announcement so far that had me scratching my head. I just can't see there being that much interest in her.
Funny thing about Karen Angle, it had been announced some time ago, then disappeared, and has been announced again. And I was so not interested that I didn't even notice.

Just saw that, should be cool. Hopefully he wrestles at least once during the weekend. I've updated the list in the OP to add him and Pearce to the vendor guests.
Another vendor is set to announce a guest, and from the hints he gave, it pretty much has to be Raven, but I'll wait until it's official.
Another vendor is asking about interest in Paul Orndorff and King Kong Bundy. I like your idea of bringing both of them and having a Heenan Family photo op.

I've never met Raven, but I'd like to.

Greg Price just announced that Bryan Danielson will in fact wrestle on the Saturday night card....challenging NWA world champion Adam Pearce.
I'm really looking forward to this one.

Confirmed, Raven will be a vendor guest. Legends of the Ring will be announcing more guests sometime fairly soon. They're currently bringing Sting, Tito Santana, and Sunny.
Still no word on the next official guest. Thankfully the wild speculation seems to have died down for the time being.

Southern Championship Wrestling has announced that Tommy Rich will be returning this year. They are currently working at putting together some joint photo ops, including Rich and Harley Race.
Also, Greg Price has announced that Bryan Danielson will be wrestling on both of the weekend's cards. No opponent has been announced for the Sunday card as of yet.

Two more vendor guests confirmed - "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff and "The Natural" Chase Stevens. Stevens will also be wrestling.
Bill Apter will be on hand and hosting "Apter's Antics," which will give fans the chance to do impersonations, cut promos, and possibly more. From the sound of things, it will be a contest, I assume with some kind of prize to the best.

I now hate you. haha, Daffney is there most of the time. She is actually a very cool girl. I spent about five minutes talking to her about getting in the acting business and got a cool photo with Daffney in her TNA gear. A couple of years ago she did a photo op in her 'Shark Girl' uniform. And glad to see Chase Stevens wrestling. I enjoyed him in the naturals and I tink most of the crap they got was due to bad booking. |

I now hate you. ha She was cool. At the time she was living in Charlotte. We were talking about Scott Hall walking around like a zombie in the lobby earlier that day. She told me he was asking all the wrestlers for pills, etc. |

Three more guests just announced by Greg:
Les Thatcher (which is a big deal for me because he was a big part of the Knoxville territory back in the day, so I'm hoping to get a chance to hear some stories about my home turf)
General Skandar Akbar (I'm a huge fan of managers, and I haven't met him yet. Plus I enjoyed his part in the World Class documentaries and his ROH shoot)
Tony Atlas (I've got a couple of things for him to sign, and they'll be able to offer the tag team photo op with Rocky Johnson)
I've said it before, but man this year is shaping up great.

A couple more guests were announced. Bob Caudle returns, which is great. He's one of the nicest guys I've met during these things. With Jim Ross being there, I'm hoping for a photo op with one of my all-time favorite announce teams. Also, making his first appearance at a fan convention, Sonny King. I mostly know of him from Ricky Morton's shoot, where he talks about Sonny King with almost reverence, with some hilarious results. He was WWWF tag champs with Chief Jay Strongbow in '72, and worked as both a wrestler and manager in Memphis. Here's a recent article on Sonny King - slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2010/05/22/14047696.htmlAlso, one of the vendors is bringing in Gorgeous George, Savage's ex-valet/girlfriend. At least I know I can save some money. |

A little late adding this, but some more vendor guests have been announced, namely Shane Douglas and Nitro Girls Spice, Fyre, and Tigress. Once again, at least I know I can save some money, but I'm sure that all will do quite well.
Vendor K&S have announced that they will be revealing their entire lineup around July 11, and will bring approximately 9 guests. So I'm looking forward to seeing how that pans out.

Jerry Brisco, Tommy Seigler and Tommy Young have been announced as the last 3 featured legends. Jerry will be inducting Greg and Johnny Valentine in to the Hall or Heroes Friday night.
Also Greg Price has announced a lakeside BBQ hosted by Jim Ross.

I don't know much about Tommy Seigler, but somewhere around 20 years ago, my aunt gave me a bunch of old wrestling pictures, a mix of promo 8x10s and pictures she had taken herself. One of the 8x10s is of Tommy Seigler, but I can't remember if it's one of the signed ones or not.
The lakeside BBQ should be fun. Though I'm wondering if that means no Q&A.
