Another exciting addition to this year's fanfest activities is Dr. Tom Prichard's Future Wrestling Legends Training Camp, a four-day talent search for two dozen of the country's top young male and female wrestling hopefuls.
 
Prichard, a 30-year mat veteran and, since 1996, one of the most respected trainers in wrestling, will be joined by a bevy of legendary guest coaches including Les Thatcher, Jerry Brisco and Leilani Kai. More guest coaches will be announced over the coming months.
 
This is a very rare multi-day opportunity, providing more than 30 hours of in-ring training and locker room study. The benefit for the young wrestlers is almost 'once-in-a-lifetime.' It's a very rare opportunity to train with and have unprecedented access to so many wrestling legends at once and over multiple days.
 
Though the training camp is intended for experienced young wrestlers and referees, beginners and those with aspirations of possibly becoming a wrestler will have a chance to observe, as well.
 
There will be an hour each day when we open up the training camp to our fanfest VIPs for live exhibition matches, witnessing first-hand these young men and women chasing their dreams. But not only that, our fanfest VIPs will also play a part in the selection process, voting each day to see which talents may be selected to participate in the live wrestling cards on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.
 
Are you a future wrestling legend? If that's your goal, don't miss this opportunity of a lifetime!

The training camp will be open to VIPs for an hour each day to watch the exhibition matches.
 
We do have some VIPs, though, that are less interested in autographs and photo ops that might want to be an observer for more of the camp. Those that sign up as observers will be free to come and go during the camp schedule to take part in other non-camp fanfest activities.
 
Hope that helps explain things. If not, let me know. Maybe I misunderstood your question, John.

will Tom Pritchard be signing autographs at any point that weekend?
