An Evening of Wrestling Legends in Waterloo

Wrestling fans get ready for an unforgettable night.

On this night you will see five hard-hitting matches and well over one dozen wrestling legends.

In singles action Dakota will look to take down T. S. Agressor. The WLW Ladies title will be defended when Christie Summers takes on the challenger, Katie Syren. The WLW Tag Team Championships will be up for grabs as Dinn T Moore and Branden Tatum go head to head with third generation wrestlers, Joe Hennig and Ted Dibiase Jr. With Ted Dibiase Sr. and Larry "The Axe" Hennig looking on, anything that can happen in this match probably will. In an exciting three-way match Dr. Death Steve Williams will lace his boots one more time as he takes on Daniel Cross and Darin Waid. Then in the main event the WLW Championship will be on the line as Dangerous Derek looks to dethrone the current Champion, and WWE Raw superstar Trevor Murdoch.

Along with these exciting matches there will also be an open autograph session featuring the living legends of pro wrestling such as Danny Hodge, The Destroyer, Larry Hennig, Brad Rheingans, Dr. Death Steve Williams, Red Bastien, Ted Dibiase, Baron Von Raschke, Judo Gene Lebell, Bob Geigel, Tom Drake, Mad Dog Vachon, Jason Sanderson, Nikita Koloff, Jerry Brisco, Harley Race, and more.
