The Xperience -Awesome Con Recap

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls it is that time of year where our favorite Washington DC convention Awesome Con has come and gone.

 

For it’s seventh year in a row Awesome Con shattered expectations and once again delivered something for everyone to enjoy. From Cary Elwes, Chris Sarandon, and Wallace Shawn from “The Princess Bride” to Amy Jo Johnson from “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers”, to Val Kilmer from films like “Tombstone” and “Batman Forever” plus many more from the film and tv medium to the likes of Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Connor from DC Comics “Harley Quinn” to Marguerite Bennett who is currently writing Boom Studios “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Beyond the Grid”, and so many more in the comic industry Awesome Con did not disappoint.

Awesome Con also had a great pro wrestling presence as WWE Hall of Famers Sting, Sgt. Slaughter, and 2019 Inductee Billy Gunn (Slaughter and Gunn appeared courtesy of RFVideo.com) were all in attendance, plus three spectacular panels featuring the likes of Phil Stamper and Nyla Rose (The New Rise of Pro Wrestling), Maki Roll (Pro Wrestling Connection for Marginalized Fans), and AwesomeMania’s own Michael Lindenbaum and Ben Taylor for the 7th Annual AwesomeMania.

 

Overall Awesome Con was a great success, and will be returning to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center next year from May 1st to May 3rd 2020.
