The Calgary Expo also offers special events such as after-show parties, screenings, costume competitions and various other goodies that are TBA so that your weekend is certain to be action packed from start to finish.

Best known for his work with the WWF, he has also worked for WCW and is actively touring the independent circuit.

Kizarny Nick Cvjetkovich

Kizarny – his real name being Nicholas Cvjetkovich, is also known by several other pseudonym’s including Lucifer Love, Dr. Nick Sinnful and Nicholas Doom. He made his wrestling debut in 2000 during the Iron Man Tournament with the Apocalypse Wrestling Federation.

He went on to work for the Canadian Independent Circuit where he was pitted against such wrestling heavy weights as Joe Gomez and Jake “the Snake” Roberts. After spending time on Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and the WWE he returned to the Independent Circuit with which he presently tours.

Kizarny is a successful writer, artist and publisher responsible for the Fred the Possessed Flower comic book series as well as co-creating the comedic horror novel Between Chapters with his brother. He also starred as the Zombie King in the 2001 zombie film Enter...Zombie King.

Mr Beefy Goodness Vance Nevada
For nearly 20 years Vance Nevada, more widely renowned as Mr. Beefy Goodness, has made a significant mark on Canada’s world of wrestling. Since his debut in 1993, he has won several titles and has over 1300 professional matches under his belt. Some of his competitors in the ring include Honky Tonk Man, Cyrus the Virus and Tatanka. His book, Wrestling in the Canadian West details the history of professional wrestling across western Canada and is available to purchase through his website www.vancenevada.ca.

Jake the Snake Roberts

Jake “The Snake” Roberts has been a heavy-hitter in the wrestling world for over 20 years. He is known primarily for his work in the World Wrestling Federation from 1986-1992 and again from 1996-1997.

Nicknamed “The Snake” due to his deceitful reputation, he would often slither under the ropes when entering the wrestling ring. Some of his most famous opponents include the late Andre the Giant, fellow Calgary Expo guest Honky Tonk Man, “Ravishing” Rick Rude and Randy Savage. Part of his performance was to use the DDT maneuver – a move that Jake “The Snake” claims to have invented – and then wrap his Burmese python Damien around the neck of his opponent to simulate strangulation. At one point he also used a reticulated python and even a devenomized cobra during his act.
