Get ready, wrestling fans—Water City WrestlingCon is back and bigger than ever! On Saturday, May 16, 2026, Oshkosh will once again become the epicenter of independent pro wrestling in Wisconsin, as ACW Wisconsin hosts its flagship event at the Menominee Nation Arena.

Headlining this year's convention is none other than Oshkosh native Dylan Postl, the 2004 Oshkosh West graduate who fans worldwide know as Hornswoggle from his nearly decade-long run with the WWE. Postl, who now runs ACW Wisconsin, has turned Water City WrestlingCon into the state's premier independent wrestling gathering—and it's easy to see why. The event consistently sells out, drawing top talent and passionate fans from across the Midwest.

But this isn't just about the in-ring action. Water City WrestlingCon is a full-day experience that blends wrestling nostalgia with live entertainment. Attendees can expect meet-and-greets, autograph sessions, and a chance to connect with the stars who have shaped the sport. Postl himself knows a thing or two about storytelling in the ring—his 2019 memoir, Life Is Short and So Am I: My Life Inside, Outside, and Under the Wrestling Ring, offers a candid look at his journey from local grappler to WWE superstar and back to community builder.

The event also serves as a showcase for ACW Wisconsin's rising talent, with Postl keeping a close eye on the next generation during training sessions at the ACW practice facility. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the WWE's golden era or just discovering the electric energy of independent wrestling, Water City WrestlingCon offers something for everyone.

Mark your calendars for May 16, 2026. Whether you're shopping for gear to rep your favorite wrestler or just looking to experience Wisconsin's biggest wrestling celebration, this is one event you won't want to miss. Be sure to grab your tickets early—this one sells out fast!
