A group of independent promotions, as well as Highspots.com and WWNLive.com which is affiliated with Evolve and Dragon Gate USA, are all working together for what they hope to be a new annual event in conjunction with WrestleMania.
The first annual WrestleCon will take place 4/5 to 4/7 at the Meadowlands Expo Center in Seacaucus, NJ. The building is three miles away from MetLife Stadium, where WrestleMania takes place.i
Dragon Gate USA, Evolve, CHIKARA Pro, SHIMMER and Combat Zone Wrestling are all working together. The idea is, with so many wrestling fans from around the world congregating to the New York/New Jersey area for WrestleMania, that all of the promotions are set to put on their biggest matches of the year.
The announced schedule is:
Friday, April 5
Evolve at 4 p.m.
Combat Zone Wrestling at 8 p.m.
Saturday, April 6
SHIMMER at Noon
CHIKARA Pro at 4 p.m.
Dragon Gate USA at 8 p.m.
Plus an expo from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Sunday, April 7
Dragon Gate USA at 1 pm.
The expo from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Dragon Gate USA has already announced its traditional WrestleMania trios match for at least one of the shows.
