On to the Jersey All Pro --- 3/22/98 at the Hotel Sheraton in Newark, NJ The convention was held from 10-6:30 with a great collection of wrestling stars which included the following: Abdullah the Butcher, Al Snow, 911, the Pit Bulls, Yokozuna, Steve Austin, The Original Wild Samoans AFA & SIKA w/Capt. Lou, Shane Douglas and Francine, Tommy Dreamer and Beulah, Rob Van Dam, SuperNova, Blue Meanie, Iron Sheik, Ox Baker and stars from the LIWF..If I forgot anybody I apologize there were so many people there..
