WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett has been added to the line-up for this weekend’s Wrestling MediaCon in Manchester.
The multi-time NWA, WCW and TNA World Champion and six-time WWE Intercontinental Champion will induct Martin Goldsmith into the Wrestling MediaCon Hall of Fame as part of wrestling’s biggest ever media convention on Saturday night.
Goldsmith, boss of Event Merchandising, was instrumental in persuading the WWF to run live events in the UK in the late 80s and helped promote Summerslam 1992 at Wembley Stadium alongside his brother Harvey.
Jarrett worked closely with Goldsmith during his time with Impact Wrestling.
The American wrestling legend said he was “very very honored to be asked to induct Martin Goldsmith! A true pioneer in our industry!”

The newly-inducted WWE Hall of Famer will also be co-broadcasting the live stream of Wrestling MediaCon on Fite TV.
And Double J will also be part of the meet-and-greets at the convention, which is being held at Bowlers Exhibition Centre in Manchester on Saturday and Sunday.
Mr Goldsmith is one of four men to be inducted into the first ever Wrestling Mediacon Hall of Fame.
The event was set up specifically to honour the names who have worked tirelessly for years, often with little acclaim, to change the face of wrestling in the media.
The other inductees will be Dave Meltzer, founder, editor and publisher of The Wrestling Observer newsletter, Colt Cabana, independent wrestler and pioneer of wrestler online broadcasting through his acclaimed The Art of Wrestling podcast, and Findlay Martin, for 20 years the editor and lead writer of Power Slam magazine in the UK.
The ceremony will be hosted by So Cal Val and Joe Hendry and starts at 8pm.
