The game will feature WWF clips on the arena’s JumboTron during stoppages of play, WWF giveaways, WWF sound-a-like and look-a-like contests and a pre-event autograph session with WWF Superstars The Headbangers on the arena’s concourse.
The Wings had WWF Superstars record commercials and promotional announcements supporting “WWF Night at the Wings,” including The Rock; Degeneration X’s New Age Outlaws; Mankind; Big Bossman; Al Snow; and the Dudley Boys. These announcements will play in arena during Wings games, as well as other events at the First Union Center and on USA Network’s wrestling programs.
