ARTHUR – World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. hall of fame wrestler Tito Santana (Merced Solis) is coming to Arthur on Nov. 30.
In a fundraising event for the Arthur Optimist Club and Arthur Area Curling Club, Santana will be talking with fans about wrestling and funny things that happened while he was a professional wrestler.
“Have a conversation with fans,” Santana said. “And just go back and forth.
“To be honest with you when I talk to fans they always bring up a bunch of stuff that I forgot even happened.”
The evening will include a meet and greet with Santana, over 90 minutes of stories and a question and answer sessions at the end of the show.
Santana said that fans often tell him they remember him talking to them or giving them a high five or a hug when he was in the professional circuit between 1979 and 1993.
“I always … made it a point to treat the wrestling fans real nice,” he said.
Santana also said that no questions are off limits during his show.
“If I can answer it I will be more than happy to answer it,” he said.
“I can’t tell you how many times people thank me for the entertainment over the years.
“Everybody has a different story about why they were entertained and why they liked Tito Santana.”
