The second annual Heroes and Legends fest in Ft Wayne, Indiana is right around the corner. I attended last year and had a great time, though this year I will probably purchase a general admission ticket instead of paying extra to sit closer. I was thinking of it like a WWE event where if you don't get good seats you might not be able to see very well, but since it was a smaller venue I would have saved that money for merch, autographs, food, etc.
I know people have mixed feelings about these kinds of events, but I thought the one last year was done tastefully and I plan to attend again this year. This year's Legends include DDP, The Genius, Awesome Kong, The Hurricane, The Headbangers, Tatanka, and Jake "The Snake" Roberts. The Genius will present the "Future Legend" award to Roderick Street, one of the hardest working and most entertaining wrestlers in the Midwest. Some of you may remember from my post about last year's event that Virgil wrestled in a multi-man tag "Heroes vs. Legends" match, didn't bother to bring gear and wrestled in a gray hoodie and gray sweat pants. Shockingly, he has not been advertised this year. I didn't have any extra money last year to get autographs or anything but I got to speak with "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Tatanka, and Demolition Ax who were all super cool, and I briefly met and shook hands with Bret Hart. I almost got to give Ted DiBiase a ride to his hotel but I started having a minor asthma attack, so I went to the gas station to buy allergy medicine while my friend took him instead (hooray!
). Overall it was a good time though, and I look forward to returning.
