July 2025 is shaping up to be a historic month for wrestling fans as the iconic Starrcast convention returns to Texas — and it’s bringing the legends with it.
Headlining the weekend’s powerhouse lineup is none other than Dory Funk Jr., former NWA World Heavyweight Champion, Hall of Famer, and one of the most respected mat technicians in wrestling history. Known for his no-nonsense style and iron-willed endurance, Funk Jr. helped define a generation of in-ring storytelling. Now, fans will get a rare chance to meet the man whose legacy helped shape Texas wrestling into a global phenomenon.
Joining Dory Funk Jr. are a cavalcade of all-time greats, including:
- “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair, 16-time world champion and the original stylin’, profilin’ icon of sports entertainment.
- Rob Van Dam (RVD), the high-flying innovator whose mix of martial arts and extreme athleticism made him a standout in ECW, WWE, and beyond.
- “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, the 2×4-carrying, flag-waving patriot beloved by fans for his larger-than-life personality and unforgettable “Hooo!” battle cry.
- Other announced guests include Tully Blanchard, The Great Muta, Alundra Blayze, and The Rock ’n’ Roll Express — each one representing a chapter in wrestling’s rich, multi-decade saga.
