Having been to a few previous Heroes & Legends events, I can attest to how much fun they are. It's two days to be immersed in the world of wrestling. Heroes & Legends Fanfest is well-organized and runs very smoothly. Promoter Jayson Maples and his crew work tirelessly to make it great for all.

One of the coolest parts doesn't show up on the event poster. You will reconnect with many wrestling fan friends. Especially after the pandemic has prevented many of us from seeing each other for so long, just being around the wrestling community will be a thrill.
