Ex-WWE producer, Dean Malenko, who recently parted ways with the company, has already booked his first non-WWE appearance.
Malenko, known as “The Man Of 1000 Holds” during his time as an in-ring competitor, will officially be in attendance during Starrcast II.
The Starrcast Twitter account sent out the following tweet, accompanied by an image of Malenko:
“This Superstarr is known as The Man of a 1000 holds!! He’s held championships all over the world… #Starrcast II is proud to welcome DEAN MALENKO to Las Vegas, Memorial Day Weekend!
Appearing Friday 1-4pm at Caesars Palace
Meet & Greets on sale now: Starrcast.com”
Starrcast II Superstarrs
Dean Malenko joins a star-studded convention, with legendary names and current ‘Superstarrs’ set to appear. Wrestlers like Bret Hart, Ric Flair, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Cody, The Young Bucks, Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega, and many more will all be in attendance.
Unfortunately, two names will no longer be present during Starrcast: The Undertaker and Kurt Angle.
Although initially advertised, WWE has since locked down ‘Taker and Angle to new contracts. These contracts allow the company to withhold talent from attending events considered to not be in WWE’s best interests.
Starrcast II, apparently, falls into that criteria.
Starrcast II takes place from May 23-26th from Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada.
