WWE Hall of Famers Hitting Enfield Saturday

A pair of members of the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2005 will be appearing at an independent pro wrestling show in Enfield this Saturday.

ENFIELD, CT — Two of professional wrestling's most memorable personalities will be coming to Enfield Saturday as part of a Hawaiian luau-themed show by Blitzkrieg! Pro Wrestling.

Jimmy Hart, a flamboyant manager known as "The Mouth of the South" who guided such legends as Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Randy "Macho Man" Savage, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine and Bret "The Hitman" Hart in his 35-year career, will be on hand to meet fans and sign autographs at "Ohana: A Pro Wrestling Luau" in an outdoor show at Mount Carmel Field.

Also appearing will be Nikolai Volkoff, who headlined Madison Square Garden against the legendary Bruno Sammartino in the 1970s and captured the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE) tag team titles with the Iron Sheik in the inaugural Wrestlemania in 1985.

Their appearances will enhance a great lineup of Blitzkrieg! stars in action, including a Bedlam Championship rematch between champion Skylar and former titleholder "Smart" Mark Sterling in a street fight.
