Saturday’s ‘The Big Event’ convention shattered previous attendance records, drawing a record-number of spectators out to Long Island. A noteworthy mention was Paul Heyman, who seemed to pull in an endless queue of fans sprawling across the entire Suffolk Credit Union Arena.
Celebrity appearances included Team Angle, consisting of Kurt Angle, Shelton Benjamin, and Charlie Haas, The Dudley Boyz, the APA, Jerry Lawler, Sgt. Slaughter, William Shatner, Francine, Shane Douglas, Sabu, Sandman, Tod Gordon, Steve Corino, Jerry Lynn, Lawrence Taylor, MJF, Dawn Marie, Lance Von Erich and Alex Wright.
On the sidelines, Marc Mero tweeted a snapshot of his reunion with Alex Wright at a local Long Island eatery. Both WWE alums, they were part of the WCW at the same time.
His tweet read, “What a great time catching up with my longtime friend from Germany Alex Wright. He joined WCW as an 18-year-old kid and we became great friends. We traveled the roads together and here is a picture from us back in our WCW days and a picture of us Last night at a diner in Long Island, New York.”
