Fighters Join Writers: Rampage Jackson, John Morrison and Chavo
Guerrero team up with Richard Hatch and The Winner Twins at WonderCon to
share secrets and their new collaboration.
Anaheim, CA – WonderCon – April 18, 2014 – Champion
MMA and WWE fighters Rampage Jackson, John Morrison and Chavo Guerrero
Jr. will come together for a panel at WonderCon in an eclectic match up
that includes legendary actor Richard Hatch from Battlestar Galactica
and SciFi writing prodigies The Winner Twins.
At first blush, it’s
an unlikely group, but they have a lot in common with their crossover
fan base. That’s right, it turns out people who love wrestling also love
SciFi. They plan to share their secrets on how to break in to
Hollywood, unveil a new technology they’ve all begun to use to get close
and personal with their fans, and announce a top secret project they
are all working on together at the end of the panel.
Chavo promises. “Our fans are going to see a side of us they’ve never seen before.”
“I don’t think an eclectic group like this, coming from so many
different sides of the industry, has ever been assembled to share their
combined knowledge,” says Richard Hatch.
All the panelists have
remained silent about the announcement to come so far. “Come and find
out for yourselves,” says John Morrison. Speculation ranges from a book
deal to a TV project. “All I’m gonna say is that it’s been very hard to
keep it a secret,” offered Rampage Jackson. .”
The event will be held as part of WonderCon’s scheduled programming:
WonderCon at the Anaheim Convention Center
700 W Convention Way Anaheim, CA 92802
April 18, 2014
7:30pm - 8:30pm (Room 300DE)
