Mr. Wrestling 2 Confirms Charlotte Fanfest Appearance

Posted: Mar 4th 2013 By: mikeiles

Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Legends Fanfest
August 1-4, 2013
Charlotte, North Carolina

More than three decades have passed since John Walker has heard those nightly roars from the crowd that would get his blood pumping and adrenaline flowing. Rabid fans would explode into chants of ?Two! Two! Two!? as the white-masked hero set his opponent up for his signature, running ?million-dollar kneelift.?

Nowadays, at age 79, Walker?s physical feats are but a distant memory, but the cheers from those adoring fans who idolize the man known as Mr. Wrestling 2 remain golden. While Walker admits his memory might be fading, the rush he got from his days in the wrestling business will be with him until the day he dies.

?You just don?t forget something like that,? he says. ?It was a wonderful time. I wouldn?t trade it for anything.?

Walker hopes to relive some of those magical memories as a featured guest at this summer?s Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Legends Fanfest Weekend August 1-4 at the Hilton University Place Hotel in Charlotte. That weekend, he says, can?t get here soon enough.

?It?s fantastic. I can?t wait to get there,? says Walker, whose alter ego as Mr. Wrestling 2 catapulted him to the hierarchy of the profession during the ?70s and early ?80s.
