Meet ’90s Wrestling Stars in Upstate New York This Weekend
Fans of '90s wrestling have a chance to lock up with two all-time greats from that era.
WWE Hall of Famer Jake "The Snake" Roberts and former WCW star Buff Bagwell will be part of wrestling meet and greet hosted by Heroes Hideouts in Albany's Crossgates Mall on Saturday, October 28th. The grapplers will be on hand to sign autographs from 1-4pm.
Known for his dark, enigmatic persona and live snakes, Jake "The Snake" Roberts is renowned for his masterful ring psychology and signature move, the DDT. His successful recovery from a life of addiction is one of the better stories about life after wrestling.

He was an important player during the "Monday Night Wars" of the late '90s. Much like Jake Roberts, Bagwell has emerged victorious over his struggles with addiction.
