13th Featured Legend Confirmed For 2011 Atlanta Fanfest!

Former Florida Television champion Eddie Mansfield will forever be remembered for his mid-1980's appearance on national TV, exposing pro wrestling as fake and demonstrating the secrets of the trade and even showing how wrestlers cut themselves. "Red turns to green," he said then as he sliced his forehead open.
