WWE WWE Hall of Fame Superstars, Wrestling Legends and Family-Friendly Action Take Over the OU-C Shoemaker Center October 24 as WCPBTW Looks Ahead to Its 50th Anniversary
CHILLICOTHE, OHIO – World Classic Professional Big Time Wrestling (WCPBTW) returns to Chillicothe on Saturday, October 24, 2026, for WCPBTW Slam-O-Ween 2, a Halloween wrestling spectacular featuring WWE Hall of Famers, wrestling legends, today’s stars, tomorrow’s superstars and an action-packed night of live professional wrestling.
Slam-O-Ween 2 will take place at the OU-C Shoemaker Center, 101 University Drive in Chillicothe. The day begins with a Fan Fest Meet & Greet from 2 to 6 p.m., giving fans the opportunity to meet wrestling legends and superstars before the WCPBTW Live Pro Wrestling Super Show begins at 7 p.m.
The event comes at an exciting time in WCPBTW history. With roots dating to 1977, WCPBTW will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2027, marking five decades of professional wrestling tradition.
A Family Event at a Family-Friendly Price
WCPBTW is putting families at the center of this year’s Slam-O-Ween 2.
Kids 12 and under receive FREE General Admission Bleacher admission with a paid adult, with up to two children admitted free with each paid adult.
WCPBTW has also slashed premium ticket prices, making it more affordable for families and wrestling fans to experience Slam-O-Ween 2.
For WCPBTW owner and Chillicothe’s own James Hines, known to wrestling fans as “Fantastic” Bobby Fulton, making the event affordable is part of a much larger commitment to his hometown.
“Chillicothe is home. This community has supported me throughout my career, and bringing Slam-O-Ween 2 here is one way we can give something back,” said Hines. “This isn’t just about putting on a great wrestling show. It’s about families, our community and creating memories together.”
“That’s why kids 12 and under get in free in General Admission with a paid adult, and why we’ve slashed our premium ticket prices. We want families to be able to come out, meet the legends and superstars, and experience the excitement of professional wrestling without breaking the family budget.”
“But our commitment to Chillicothe goes well beyond what happens inside the wrestling ring. WCPBTW is proud to support the Chillicothe DARE program, Southern Ohio Survivors and local high school sports. Giving back to this community and supporting our kids, families and organizations doing good work here is extremely important to me. I’ve never forgotten where I come from, and I never will.”
“As we look ahead to our 50th anniversary in 2027, I think about everyone who has been part of this journey, from the wrestlers who have stepped into our ring to generations of fans who have supported us. Fifty years is about honoring where we came from while making sure professional wrestling continues creating memories for the next generation. Slam-O-Ween 2 is part of that tradition and part of our future.”
