It is rare that we get a chance to feature professional wrestling or wrestling cards and memorabilia in Sports Collectors Digest.

But there are few sports (or entertainment entities) that have a more loyal and passionate fan base. That was evident Nov. 29-Dec. 1 at WrestleCade in Winston-Salem, N.C.

WrestleCade, one of the largest wrestling autograph and memorabilia shows in the country, featured nearly 200 current and former professional wrestlers signing autographs, posing for photos, and selling wrestling memorabilia. The three-day event also featured a live wrestling event produced by TNA Wrestling.

The show featured wrestling legends from the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s, as well as current stars from WWE, TNA, AEW and the independent circuit, including a Who’s Who of stars from the glory days of the sport. Highlighting the event were such big names as Ric Flair, Kurt Angle, Sting, Kane, Mick Foley, Arn Anderson, JBL, Jake The Snake Roberts, Lex Luger, Ricky Steamboat, Jerry The King Lawler, and part-time wrestler/NBA star Dennis Rodman. And headlining the TNA card was TNA champion and former WWE star Nic Nemeth, aka Dolph Ziggler.
