2024 WRESTLECUSE RECAP
The Wildcat Sports Pub WrestleCuse, invaded the New York State Fairgrounds for the first time on Saturday, February 3rd in the Horticulture Building. To say this event was a slamming success would be an understatement. People of all ages came together to meet and take pictures with their WWE heroes such as Kurt Angle, Tony Atlas, The Nasty Boys, Sgt Slaughter, Brutus “the barber” Beefcake and a few others. This was definitely an event for the books. Not to mention the LIVE wrestling matches from Excite Wrestling and 1-UP Wrestling, along with the Vitamin Warehouse Arm-Wrestling Competition, this was a can’t miss event.
