  Loved by fans throughout his two reigns as WWWF World heavyweight champion, the "Italian Superman," Sammartino holds the record for selling out Madison Square Garden on more than 170 ocassions. No other wrestling star has come even close to meeting that tremenous feat.

Already signed are: Mick Foley who will make his return to the ring at WrestleReunion, Matt Hardy, Tito Santana, all three members of Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton, Dennis Condrey & Stan Lane), Dory Funk Jr. and Terry Funk, Don Muraco, Greg “The Hammer” Valentine, Steve Corino,"The Russian Bear"Ivan Koloff (who ended Sammartino's first World title reign), Raven, Harley Race, Samu, D’Lo Brown, Bob & Brad Armstrong, Joey Styles, “Pretty Boy” Larry Sharpe and, of course, Larry Zbyszko.
