The Big Red Machine Comes To Shreveport
With WWE and Geek'd Con teaming up, it feels like hellfire and brimstone can't be far behind...WWE Hall of Famer KANE is officially joining the Geek'd Con lineup! The Big Red Machine himself will be coming to Downtown Shreveport this August for Saturday and Sunday at Geek'd Con.
Kane dominated the WWE during the legendary Attitude Era. Famous for his destructive path as the brother of The Undertaker in the "Brothers of Destruction", Kane is a three-time world champion. He stands as the third ever Grand Slam Champion in WWE history.
He holds a dozen Tag Team Championships, two Intercontinental Championship reigns, and won Money In The Bank. He also secured the Hardcore Championship, the 24/7 Championship, and two Slammy Awards.
He was ranked in the PWI 500 over 20 times, and was in the top 25 nine times...getting as high as number four in the 2011 PWI 500. Beyond the squared circle, he crossed over into the horror genre, terrifying audiences as the unstoppable killer Jacob Goodnight in the slasher films See No Evil and See No Evil 2.
Shreveport's Pro Wrestling Roots
Wrestling fans do not want to miss out on meeting The Devil's Favorite Demon in person. Shreveport and Bossier City share a deep professional wrestling lineage.
Long before modern television broadcasts, local venues like the Irish McNeill Boys Club and Hirsch Coliseum hosted weekly Mid-South Wrestling events. Legends including Andre The Giant, Ric Flair, and Junkyard Dog wrestled in front of packed Louisiana crowds. A-list star Matthew McConaughey even attended wrestling events in Shreveport.
The timing of Kane's appearance is perfect with the promotional partnership between WWE and Geek'd Con being announced too. This collaboration helps build momentum ahead of the live televised Monday Night Raw broadcast scheduled for Bossier City.
WWE Monday Night Raw will return to the Brookshire Grocery Arena in Bossier City in October 2026. Fans attending the August convention can expect promotional ticket giveaways, and updates regarding the upcoming television event.
Adding a superstar like Kane to the convention lineup honors Shreveport-Bossier's generational connection to the squared circle.
