Francine’s statement:

In September, 2008 I lost two of the most important people in my life to cancer. My Father died on September 6th. He had stage 4 pancreatic cancer. As we were at my Dad’s wake on September 10th, we found out that my oldest sister Chrissy had passed away. She had cancer of the bile duct. She suffered for 10 months before she passed. I never even heard of that type of cancer as it’s extremely rare. I lost two family members 4 days apart from each other and it devastated me and my family. Then, a month later my other sister finds out that she has kidney cancer. Thank God they were able to remove her one kidney. She is ok now but it just goes to show that you never know what life has in store for you. I decided that I wanted to get the “original” boys back together and run a show at the greatest building in the word to me, The Arena. With a portion of the ticket sales going to The American Cancer Society, June 27th 2009 will be a great night for all. For all fans who purchase a superticket, we are going to have a fanfest starting at 1pm. Anyone who purchases the superticket (which will be limited to 240 tickets) gets a signed 8×10 of all superstars participating in the fanfest, a picture with your own camera as well and a Legends of the Arena chair. There will also be a Question and Answer session and lunch will be provided. Then, you will be treated to a old school “original” wrestling event. Wrestlers will be added as the weeks go on, but you can see who’s already coming in the slideshow to the left. Again, there are only 240 supertickets and 750 general admission tickets. Tickets go on sale Monday, March 9 at 5:00pm at www.thearena.biz so get your tickets while you can and enjoy a taste of the past while joining the fight against cancer! If you can’t make the event, please consider making a donation. On behalf of myself and my family, thank you all so much. Love you all, Francine xoxo
