JJ Dillon, Kevin Sullivan headline CWF Legends Fanfest 2 in Odessa
Pay homage to pro wrestling stars like Kevin Sullivan and JJ Dillon while the history of Championship Wrestling from Florida is celebrated once again at CWF Legends FanFest 2 on Saturday, Oct. 28 from 2-7:30 p.m. ET.

Sullivan, who began his run in CWF during the early 1970s, was also a key player in the 1980s as he and his followers joined The Darkside. He booked CWF in the 1980's before performing in the NWA and WCW, where he is also known for booking WCW during The Monday Night Wars.
James J. Dillon rose to CWF prominence in 1975 as a wrestler, holding multiple championships in the state before returning as a manager in the early 80's and booking CWF. He gained greater fame when he went to the NWA and become the manager for the legendary Four Horsemen. JJ also played huge behind the scenes rolls in WWE and WCW. In addition to Sullivan and Dillon, other CWF Favorites at this event will be Rocky Johnson, B. Brian Blair, Tony Marino, and Sherri Lee.
