BEST WISHES TO KISS, FORMER IICONICS' FIRST CONVENTION APPEARANCE, RARE JESSE VENTURA APPEARANCE, ISPW RELAUNCHES THIS SUNDAY & MORE

Best wishes to KISS founding members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, who have appeared in WCW in the past and inspired the Kiss Demon character in that promotion, as they have each tested positive for COVID-19 and have canceled dates on their current tour.  At one point, Simmons and WWE Studios also teamed up on the Seth Rollins film Armed Response.

The first appearance for the former IIconics, now the IInspiration at a signing will be this October's Legends of the Ring convention in New Jersey, which has a loaded lineup.  For details, click here.

T-Mart Promotions have already announced the first two guests for next July's The Gathering III - Jacques Rougeau and Eddie Sharkey.  To the best of my knowledge, this is Sharkey's first ever convention appearance.  For more, click here.
