Former NWA World champion "Wildfire" Tommy Rich has confirmed his appearance at next August's Georgia Wrestling Legends Fanfest Weekend.

In April of 1981, the charismatic Rich defeated then-champ Harley Race for the "Ten Pounds of Gold" in Augusta, GA. Although his reign lasted but a few days, he staked his place in history and forever linked himself to the most coveted prize in all of wrestling.

He joins the previously-announced Ole Anderson, The Assassin, Mr. Wrestling II, former AWA Rookie of the Year and NWA National champion Steve O, Killer Karl Kox, "Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase, "Doctor D" David Schultz, "Mr. USA" Tony Atlas, Killer Tim Brooks, The Masked Superstar, Dory Funk Jr., Terry Funk, and the "Continental Lover" Eddie Mansfield signing autographs and taking photos with fans at the August 4-7 weekend at Atlanta's Airport Marriott hotel.

More will be announced over the next few months.
