There are many Legends in Philadephia but they are not all there for the Royal Rumble so keep that in mind if you see a sighting online.
Sting is one of the names in town for the Icons of Wrestling convention and Fanfest taking place at the 2300 Arena (formerly ECW Arena) in Philly. Other names in Philly include Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard, JJ Dillion, Arn ANderson, Barry Windham, Dean Malenko, Scott Hall, Jake Roberts, Ron Simmons, Swoggle, Victoria (Lisa Marie Varon), Vader, Lex Luger, Melina, The Steiner Bros, Gene Okerlund, Tammy Sytch, Paul Orndorff, Bruce Prichard, Terri Runnels, Teddy Long, Tony Atlas, Missy Hyatt, Bob Orton, Butch Reed, Traci Brooks, Paul Roma, Barry O, Shelly Marinez, The Boogeyman, Steve McMichael, Velvet Sky, Bully Ray, Abdullah The Butcher, Rene Michelle, Teddy Long, Powers of Pain, Nasty Boys, Honky Tonk Man, Billy Gunn, Bill DeMott, Shane Douglas, Super Crazy, Justin Credible, Ricardo Rodriguez, Virgil Teddy Hart and Jessie Godderz
Current WWE personalities Jerry “The King” Lawler, Booker T, Corey Graves and Mark Henry are also booked for the convention. The “big 4” tentpole shows have become destination weekends for many fans and other wrestling companies are capitalizing on it. On Friday night, Tommy Dreamer’s House Of Hardcore 37 took place at the former ECW Arena.
