The NWA Wrestling Legends Fanfest Weekend, three huge days and four nights featuring dozens of wrestling's legendary heroes and villains -- and a bevy of today's top superstars and future legends -- returns Thursday through Sunday, August 6-9, 2009 to the Hilton University Place Hotel in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Stars from the glory days of the National Wrestling Alliance converge on the Carolinas not only to renew old friendships but to rekindle old rivalries. All of the featured legends will be available to sign autographs and take photos with everyone. Lots of reminiscing about the "good ol' days" of wrestling, as well.

29 featured legends have been confirmed for the 2009 NWA Wrestling Legends Fanfest Weekend. Abdullah the Butcher, Ole Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Dave Brown, Bob Caudle, Chris Cruise, James J.

More guest confirmations coming soon.

This year's fanfest weekend activities, highlighted by the third annual Hall of Heroes Dinner Banquet and Awards Ceremony hosted by Jim Cornette, kickoff on Thursday evening, August 6, with two VIP-only, question-and-answer sessions. Already confirmed is "A Conversation with Cornette," a late-night Q&A with the always-outspoken, always-controversial, award-winning manager of The Midnight Express!

Daytime festivities center around the Autograph Stage and Photo Ops. This is your chance to get your photo taken with and the autographs of dozens of featured wrestling legends.

Two huge nights of live wrestling matches will be showcased at this year's fanfest weekend. Your VIP "All Access" Pass includes a reserved Ringside seat for BOTH nights' matches!

Very popular is an exhibit area with vendors offering any and every type wrestling memorabilia you can imagine. Some vendors will have "booth guests" offering additional autograph and photo opportunities.

VIP "All Access" Pass holders will have early admission each day, first access to all autograph signings and photo opportunities, exclusive admission to revealing Question-and-Answer sessions, and ringside seats to the live wrestling matches! Throw in a free fanfest weekend t-shirt and a VIP "All Access" Pass with neck lanyard and you have the VIP hookup!

The beautiful Hilton University Place Hotel!Book Your Hotel Rooms Now!

The Hilton University Place is the host hotel for this year's NWA Wrestling Legends Fanfest Weekend. The hotel will be offering a special $89 group rate for those that book early.

Keep in mind, we have a limited number of rooms at this great rate, so please make your room reservations as soon as you're certain of your travel plans. The $89 group rate will expire on July 18, 2009 or whenever we fill our block of rooms, whichever comes first.

Remember, Charlotte is the heart of stock car country (the hotel is just a couple miles down the road from Lowe's Motor Speedway and dozens of NASCAR race shops in the region,) and home to Paramount's Carowinds (the Carolinas' premier theme park and family entertainment destination, including Boomerang Bay, a 20-acre water park,) so why not make it a summer vacation and take in a little bit of everything?
