The Indy's answer to Wrestlemania.

Hello again Shooters,

This post isn't as much of a preview as the other posts will be, but it is a quick rundown of what will be happening in Dallas that ISN'T WWE related.

So first thing's first, like every mainstream thing in sports, and entertainment, there are alternatives ready to go. In wrestling's case, that would be WrestleCon. The majority of retired guys, along with many of the American and Foreign stars that don't work for WWE are part of this mish mash extravaganza that celebrates Pro Wrestling at it's core. Like how there's a convention for Star Trek, Star Wars, Comics, and My Little Pony, Wrestlecon is the Convention for Wrestling dorks like me and you who attempt to take the time to read stuff like this.

So Among the various events happening at Wrestlecon include:

4/1/16(The same day as NxT Takeover Dallas)
