    Hello all,

    My name is Alan and I am a sports promoter from Ireland but I work in the UK and US and also on the continent.
    I do however live in Ireland. I love Wrestling and after talking with friends I have met over the years today I
    confirmed the first ever Wrestlezone Ireland.

    Attending the event will be:
    Mick Foley,
    Million Dollar Man Ted Dibase along with bodyguard Virgil,
    WWE Diva Lilian Garcia,
    The greatest Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion of all time The Honky Tonk Man,
    Brutus The Barber Beefcake,
    Tito Santana,
    Rick Martel,
    The Genius Lanny Poffo.

    I am also waiting on confirmation on the Mouth of the South Jimmy Hart to attend our show. I spoke to Jimmy last night and although it looks good I cannot confirm it as yet.

    Get to meet and greet your Wrestling heroes in Ireland for the first time ever. Ask them any questions,get your picture taken, get a personalised autograph and just have a laugh with them.

    Event to be held in Glenroyal Hotel, Maynooth, Co.Kildare on Sunday and Sunday 6th and 7th November 2010.The day will last from 9am until 5pm and everyone will have loads to do and see and speak too in these 8hours with a break for lunch.

    WEBSITE will be launched in 2 weeks time with all the details of the event. I will submit the exact web address just before the official launch. You can see the Superstars leave personal messages to their Irish fans on the site.

    Many thanks,
    Alan.

    With all respects, I would not cross the road to see any of the above for free, bar DiBiase, let alone pay for it. Best of luck with it though.

    No Visa issues here I can tell ya. I have done lots of work on it so far. I know the thing in the UK recently had Visa issues.....or had it?

    I had nothing to do with promoting that though I can assure you.

    If that happened as far as I'd be concerned it would be money back.

    I know it's early days, but have you any idea on the price of admission your considering to charge?

    Not yet Vince but I aim to keep it as low as possible and I will aim to acheive a cheap value for money price too. The site will be launched in 2-3 weeks and I will have this negotiated by then. I was just letting people know it was an upcoming event.

    November I might be able to do; really depends on the specifics of the meet & greet, as I'm in Dublin. If I'm not there, best of luck with it!

    I agree with Gimmick...DiBiase and Santana would be the only draw there for me.
    I wouldn't take Ron Farris's word for gospel anyway :pac:

    With all respects yourself, thats one of the most miserable posts i've read in a while.
    Its great people like OP are actually promoting this business, its a pity people like gimmick just want to whine about it.
    OP, best of luck with it.

    Many thanks Dinny. I aim to please. It will be a success. I have put lots of work into finalising it and erasing any potential problems before I mentioned it so its all good and everything is ready to go.

    Hahahaha. I knew what he meant lads. My point was its not Roy Farris thats promoting this.Unlike other conventions in the UK/US and on the Continent I have all this in Contract hence the email about sorting problems before I put out the news of the upcoming event. And he is in my phone as HTM.:)
    Don't worry. He will be there as will the rest. I can gaurantee that. Doing this 8 years so I know a thing or 2 about it.

    Best of luck with it. The roster looks pretty decent and should do well if it is priced competitively.

    I would def be up for heading to this? Any idea on prices? At the same time i would be a bit wary handing over money when wrestling shows/conventions in this region of the world have a tradition of cancelling without trace. Lets hope that you get enough interest in it. Best of luck and fair play for organising it

    Thank you Joe. Don't panic. I have early bird offers available when I have the website launch. Put it this way, it will be alot cheaper than any UK convention. As I say I aim to keep it very affordable and I hope you will enjoy it. I think you will. Thanks again, Alan....

    Twiz, thank you for posting. This is a 100% runner. I am dedicated to this show as personally as a wrestling fan I think Ireland deserves it. As I said in an earlier post as I work all over the world I have made contacts to allow me to promote this but may I add it is all under contract. Please don't compare this to the UK conventions or the continent ones as it will be of a higher volume, higher intensity and higher value for money. You can also see and hear personal invites via my site from the superstars attending. Many thanks, Alan.
