New York Comic Con began Thursday at the Javits Center with a wrestling lineup that includes Kane, Mick Foley, Trish Stratus, Lita and Killer Kross. The show runs through Sunday, October 11, at 429 11th Avenue, and DMV Wrestling News counts more than 20 pro wrestlers across several booths.
The biggest block of names is at Headlocked Comics, Booth 1034, which posted a four-day schedule on its NYCC flyer. Kane is there Thursday and Friday, a little over a month after Glenn Jacobs, the WWE Hall of Famer behind the character, left office as Knox County mayor.
Headlocked Comics lineup at Booth 1034
| Wrestler | Days |
|---|---|
| Kane | Thursday, Friday |
| Killer Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux | Thursday, Friday |
| Taylor Rotunda (Bo Dallas, Uncle Howdy) | Thursday to Saturday |
| Mike Rotunda (IRS) | Thursday to Saturday |
| JBL | Thursday to Saturday |
| Ron Simmons | Thursday to Sunday |
| Trish Stratus | Saturday, Sunday |
| Lita (Amy Dumas) | Saturday, Sunday |
| Mick Foley | Saturday, Sunday |
| Jimmy Hart | Saturday, Sunday |
Kross and Scarlett Bordeaux left WWE in 2025 and are appearing under their pre-WWE names. DMV Wrestling News also lists Jerry Lawler for Saturday and Sunday, though he is not on the Headlocked flyer.
Headlocked said in its newsletter that it is not running presales, so fans simply go to the booth. Autographs and photos at the booth have been paid purchases in past years, so ask about pricing when you arrive.
Pro Wrestling Tees at Booth 4643
Pro Wrestling Tees has its own NYCC booth, 4643, with all-day appearances on each date below. The booth also offers photo ops, exclusive merch and a make-your-own custom shirt option.
- Thursday: Mick Foley, Mina Shirakawa and Konosuke Takeshita
- Friday: Mick Foley, Tommy Dreamer and the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express
- Saturday: X-Pac (Sean Waltman) and the New Age Outlaws, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn
- Sunday: Orange Cassidy, Megan Bayne and Wardlow
That puts Foley at Pro Wrestling Tees on Thursday and Friday and at Headlocked on Saturday and Sunday, so the subject of a biopic series in development is on the show floor all four days.
More on the floor
DMV Wrestling News lists Matt Hardy at Hasstel Toys, Booth 1378, on Thursday and Friday. That listing comes from a single report, so confirm with the booth.
The fourth annual NYCC Wrestling Cosplay Meetup is Friday, October 9, from 3 to 3:45 p.m. in the South Concourse Meetups area, also per DMV Wrestling News. You need a ticket for the day to get into the show.
