Make way for WWE superstars By Janet Thomas Gosport Staff Writer
Professional wrestling fans will get a smashing view of the action at 7:30 p.m. today, July 18, when the WWE Live: SummerSlam Heatwave Tour brings some of the organization’s superstar to the Pensacola Bay Center. There should be plenty of energy in the ring. WWE, a media and entertainment company founded by Vince and Linda McMahon, is branding the tour as the “WrestleMania”
of the summer. The live event is scheduled to include a “fatal four-way” match between current champ Sheamus and Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger and Cesaro for the United States championship. Also on the schedule is a match between Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. One of the highlights of the night will feature Pensacola’s own Roman Reigns facing Kane in a “last man standing” match At 6-foot-3 inches tall and
weighing 265 pounds, Reigns played football at Escambia High School and was a star defensive tackle at Georgia Tech. He played pro ball with the Minnesota Vikings and the Jacksonville Jaguars before becoming a WWE superstar. Tickets ($95, $50, $35, $25 and $15) are available at the center’s box office, at Ticketmaster.com or and by phone at 1 (800) 745-3000.
