THE BIG EVENT IN NY BREAKS RECORDS

By Mike Johnson on 2024-11-09 18:34:00

The Big Event convention in Long Island, NY today broke its attendance record, empowered by an appearance by Paul Heyman that stretched the length of the Suffolk Credit Union Arena.  Heyman's appearance was the biggest appearance the convention has hosted and was several years in the making.

The event also featured a Team Angle reunion with Kurt Angle, Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas as well as WWE Hall of Famers The Dudley Boyz, The APA, Jerry Lawler, Sgt. Slaughter, Celebrity HOFer William Shatner and more.

ECW Originals Francine, Shane Douglas, Sabu, Sandman, Tod Gordon, Steve Corino, and Jerry Lynn were also in attendance.

Lawrence Taylor, MJF, Dawn Marie and many others also appeared.

Lance Von Erich and Alex Wright also made rare signing appearances.  It was Von Erich's first-ever convention and for Wright, his first trip to the United States in many, many years.

The event will return on 3/1/25.
