Butterbean vs. Minoru Suzuki announced for WrestleCon Supershow
The one and only Eric “Butterbean” Esch will return to pro wrestling as he will face the one and only Minoru Suzuki at next month’s WrestleCon Supershow.
The event is part of the WrestleMania 41 weekend activities in Las Vegas, taking place at the Palms Casino Resort on Thursday, April 17th.
To add a wrinkle, former WWE wrestler, former UFC champion and former NWA World Champion Dan Severn will be the special guest enforcer.
While Esch is best known for his incredible run inside a boxing ring and 35-second knockout of Brawl for All winner Bart Gunn at 1999’s WrestleMania IV, he has dabbled in wrestling here and there since then, including in March of this past year on an indie show. He also was part of the Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Championship Wrestling TV show in 2008.
Esch returned to the spotlight in February 2024 for his work with “Diamond” Dallas Page who helped him lost weight, regain mobility and get his life back.
Since 2011, Josh has been a contributing editor to Wrestling Observer/F4WOnline.com and also hosts the Punch-Out podcast. He has also written for Fight Magazine, Bloody Elbow, Bleacher Report, and other websites. He's a 2000 graduate of the University of Maine, worked in pro sports, and once was an indie ring announcer.
