The wrestling event being presented at the New York Mets' Citi Field will be a "Legends of Wrestling" event on Sunday 6/7 featuring Ric Flair, Scott Steiner, Bill Goldberg, The Nasty Boys, Bret Hart, Hacksaw Duggan, and Mr. Anderson, among others, starting at 3 PM.

The plan is to have autograph signings with legends in the stadium followed by six matches presented on the field. It will be the first-ever live wrestling event in the stadium.

Tickets will range from $25 to $55.

Citi Field's predecessor Shea Stadium hosted several WWF events, including Bruno Sammartino defeating Larry Zbyszko in a steel cage match as well as the only in-ring meeting of Bruno Sammartino and Pedro Morales.

The Mets' minor league team affiliate, The Brooklyn Cyclones, have hosted shows from TNA and Ring of Honor in the past. ROH is expected to return to the Cyclones this summer.
