WrestleMania descends upon Las Vegas this week, and part of the fun of WrestleMania week is the rare opportunity for wrestling fans in the states to see the most diverse lineup of pro wrestling theyâll see in one week in one place. That place is the Palms Casino.
Former WWE Superstar-turned-entrepreneur Dean Muhtadi (Mojo Rawley) and Paragon Talent Agency, founded by Muhtadi, are hosting another Slam Fest following the success of last yearâs Slam Fest in Las Vegas.
âWeâre gonna have five wrestling shows from some of the biggest wrestling promotions in the entire world," said Muhtadi. "Lucha Libreâs top promotion, Japanâs top promotion, the top all-womenâs promotion, Canadaâs top promotion and you know we also had to have an American promotion to hold it down for the good old U S of A.â Muhtadi noted there will be over 200 wrestlers staying at the Palms this week. The event is curated for WrestleMania touristsâwho may not be familiar with Vegasâto have a one-stop-shop to consume independent and international wrestling while enjoying a variety of activities.
Five different promotionsâCMLL, TJPW, HOG, Stardom and MLP will host a series of live pro wrestling events featuring some of the best wrestlers in the world. The Pearl Theater will be home base to some of the best non-WrestleMania matches of the week, and possibly even some of the best matches of the year outright.
The supershow will feature day parties and pro wrestling from a host of promotions all week. Festivities will have no shortage of star power. The Hardys will be hosting a Hardy Party, while WWE Hall of Famer will host 40 Years of Mick Foley, an intimate evening of storytelling from the inescapably hilarious best-selling author.
Saraya will host live episodes of her âRulebreakersâ podcast while Bully Ray hosts a âSin City Rooftop Rockerâ featuring music from Spandex Nation. Pro wrestling GOAT Ric Flair is also advertised to appear in his return to Slam Fest.
